I Need Another Knee Surgery:(

[K9karen]

I'm so sorry you have to go through another surgery. My prayers are with you for a quick and easy recovery this time. I think I'll say an extra prayer for my spine surgeon tonight. *Knocks on wood*..I've been so lucky.

I'm so sorry you're going to have to go through surgery again.
I wish you the best and pray for a speedy recovery!

Catsinclay.... about 15 years ago my sister was having surgery on her knee and before she went to the hospital my dad took a marker and wrote "WRONG KNEE" on the knee that wasn't getting the surgery. We all thought he had lost his mind! But realized later after hearing too many stories like yours that it was a smart thing to do.

Well, the first step in recovery is figuring out what is wrong. Looks like you have that one covered. Isn't is amazing what resources are right here at Pet Talk? Of course it is an awful shame that this wasn't done right the first time around.

I'm sorry to hear this. Having to endure chronic pain is bad enough but at the hands of someone who was supposed to take the pain away and instead make it worse is unthinkable. One of my best friends had total knee replacement in both knees and she has seen great success. She can walk just as fast as I can now and before the surgeries, she just couldn't keep up. I sure do wish you all the best w/your next surgery. Be sure to investigate your dr. and if your instincts tell you to find someone else, then listen to your instincts. It's our natural protection. Prayers going out for you and your speedy recovery.....

Thanks to everyone again. I know I'm being tested with this thing and it's so hard. I have to keep thinking positive to avoid a total meltdown.

You all are the best. What would I do without my Pet Talk family?

Terry this is just awful. I can't imagine having to endure another surgery and then another recovery. I'm glad you don't have to wait too long though. The sooner you have it done, the sooner the feeling good can begin. ((((hugs))))

GOOD IDEA!!!!!

Let me tell you, if that was done it would have saved me an awful lot of time & pain!!!!

I'll have to remember this for the next time!!!

I am just seeing this...I will pray that all goes well with your surgery. I'm sorry the first doctor didn't get it right the first time. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. ((hugs))
