Debbie Cousins's Journal, 20 Jun 23

Surgery Update: I was not going to have my knee replacement “revision” (taking out partial and installing total) until 9/14/23. The reason I was waiting so long was because I didn’t want the grandkids to have to miss out on the pool. Today, my twin friends said that they will take the kids to the pool when I can’t. So, I got the first available appointment, which is 7/27/23 - five weeks away. Pre-surgery visit to my PCP next Tuesday to give the all clear for surgery. Then, pre-surgery visit with surgeon on 7/10. I started doing the pre-surgery exercises on 5/3, so I’m very well prepared already. Already done them for 6 weeks, and still have five more weeks to get both knees strengthened. That’s over twice as long as most people do them. Motivated to lose some more weight before surgery because my walking will be cut WAY down and I won’t be burning as many calories for awhile after the operation. Hoping it won’t take too long, though, to get back up to my five miles a day!
