Very very interested in hearing your comments from your orthopedic visit today. It has been recommended -that the spacers in the RTKR. Be replaced but with caution that if they open the knee there is possibilities that it might need full replacement
I do know, if, I choose to do that, I would not be put to sleep. Deep anesthesia is not recommended if possible for the aging population. You can have a TKR without it. Your deadened and sleepy. Just not the deep deep stuff .
My other knee is -lol good knee- twingy and I do have concerns the extra recoup therapy could be the death toll - sigh.
Good luck in your visit today!

Hi, Debbie (@debbieod) I'm sorry, this will have to short. My supper is bubbling away. (I don't it's supposed to bubble.) My ortho doc and I agreed to stay the course, at least until spring. "Stay the course" means keep with the injections. (I got one today.) So we'll see. I don't think either of us was super excited about another TKR. He said he'd do one, if I said Yea! but he'd want impose lots of extra cautions for a guy of 80, living alone, with PN, and balance issues. I had to respect his position, because, honestly (?) it's my position, too. ––Ray (@ray666)
