Back to square one!

I also had one knee done 2yrs ago and will need the other one done before long. I had the epidural which they told me does not have those sicky side effects in the same way as a general anaesthetic. So when my next one needs doing that's what I shall ask for.

Good luck. If it's any comfort, my late MIL had both her knees done. After the first she said she would never have the second done as the first had been so awful. But she had the second one done and it was completely different and so much better than the first. So think positive.

I too have had one knee replaced and the other is letting me know it won't be long before it needs doing as well. The worst thing about the operation for me was the spinal anaesthetic and loss of control of my bladder for a while. Apart from that, aftercare from my other half was much needed.

There are some good anti sickness meds available these days; I had some after my recent surgery and they were a God send!
All the best for a swift recovery ?

Good luck for the op. My mum had it done when she was 85 and it was more arduous than her hip but the relief from pain made it worthwhile.

Make sure you tell everyone about the previous sickness, so they can make changes to help you.

good luck jane - i know exactly how you feel as i've got my second knee replacement op coming in 5 weeks. the last one went well 9 years ago but i'm still anxious about this one.
hope to have an update from you to let us all know how the op and the hospital stay went. i'm sure you'll be fine - and knowing that you'll soon be able to walk without pain is a bonus.

Just wanted to add my best wishes to you. I've had the horrible postop sickness but hang in in there, it won't last forever.

Thinking of you. Hope it's over now ⛾

All the best Jane, will be thinking of you.

My 88 year old Mum has just gone thro this and she has bounced back ok so good luck to you ?‍♀️

Good luck, Jane. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ?

All the best jane. Please post and let us know how you get on. My dear sis is waiting for her op date fingers crossed for both of you.

Fingers crossed Jane anti sickness meds will help, good luck for the coming days ???

All the best for a speedy recovery Jane, hopefully you won’t have a repetition of last time. Will be thinking of you.

All the Best, Jane. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Will be thinking of you Jane I had a good recovery so wish the same for you.

Good luck Jane, hope it goes well, Come back on here when you can and let us know how you are. x

Good luck Jane x

Good luck, I know it feels worse the second time round but it does mean you can discuss how sick the medications made you last time with the doctors so they can adjust or change your meds.

Thank you all for your kind wishes. I suppose I wanted to write down my feelings. It's hard for the family to understand although DH was wonderful last time I think he sort of feels 'oh God. Not again!'

Jane wishing you well
Hopefull your meds will include anti sickness

On the plus side we only have 2 knees!
So when this knee sorted
'Job done' as they say.

Good luck Jane - soon be over and recovering at home xxx

Good luck Jane I had my knee replacement 4 years ago and was terrified,I was lucky all went well and I recovered quickly,however now need the other knee done and feel the same as you.I'm sure all will go well and sending healing thoughts.

Oh bless you hope all goes well and you are soon back home.

Hope it all goes well Jane it is awful waiting for an op but think of the end result and plan yourself a treat when you're ok again
