    I'm glad to hear that you won't need a knee replacement. I hope that your surgery will go smoothly.

    That's great! Excellent news.

    A little late but I'm happy to hear the news -- so glad you won't need the surgery. I had the same thing done to my left knee years ago after a skiing accident and haven't had a problem since--

    Sometimes this modern medicine isn't half bad! I love that going home the same day stuff! Good luck and heal fast... NO jumping Jacks, ok?

    Well - I'm "supposed" to be having my knee surgery this Wednesday the 19th - "supposed" being the key word here. This past week I had my pre-op testing - blood work, chest x-ray, and EKG. Well it seems that my EKG is not at all normal and the cardiologist ordered further testing before he will release me for anesthesia, and there is the possibility that I've had a silent heart attack. With my family history of stroke, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease and heart attack, then he's putting me thru the wringer, even tho I have never had any of those family issues. The two most critical tests are the echocardiogram which I had on Wednesday, and the stress test that I will have this Tuesday. Nothing like the last minute and down to the wire timing. So I won't know until after I have that at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, if I'll be having surgery on Wednesday. Good thing that the stress test doesn't measure emotional stress - with what I'm going thru with Sparky right now - I'd be off the charts!!! Then after the stress test, I have to go over to the surgery center and meet with the anesthesiologist. With my previous neck injury I guess he needs to see how much he can manipulate my head and neck to get a breathing tube in, without me ending up with a broken neck again! Even if I get a release from the cardiologist, I still have to go thru a couple more tests in a few weeks - an abdominal ultrasound, and a carotid artery ultrasound. When it rains - it pours!

    Wish me luck - I'm in serious need of a lot of it!

    Hoping all their testing finds you in good health and able to have your surgery as planned.
