I’m going from memory here. In 2022, I had a nerve block which was great. In 2023, the anesthesologist tried to give me a spinal block but I shrieked so much he had to stop. I thought he was going to give me a nerve block but he gave me a femoral block. It was horrible in the sense that I could not even stand up after the surgery, let alone walk. The hospital kept me four days but then had to move me to a rehab center. Over the following 10 days(!) the PT’s got me walking and I was able to go home. So, that’s my story. Despite the “complications” of the last TKR surgery, I am so glad I did it. As you know, one’s new knees aren’ like the old ones in youth but they work great. It’s a lot better than being in a wheel chair. I wish you well for your Nov surgery for the numbness. I’m fortunate mine went away on its own but it took a long time. I found it disconcerting. I’m glad it’s gone.
