One expects a doc to answer the question. He felt the leg but didn't say much. This was the first surgery for either of us. This guy ends his talk with me by telling me that we will see whee we are next apt and set up an apt. for next surgery. I have flat told him there will be no other surgery until my current leg feels normal and I have sufficient balance. Told hubby after last visit Doc didn't care, was just interested in the next TKR.

I know that I want a surgeon who stops by and sees how his patients are doing before going home. This guy does not.

The thing that concerns me is that I seem to be losing mobility range eventhough I am doing the exercises that were given me.

Hubby vaguely remember him mentioning something about injuring a nerve, but says the doc never said which one or what I could expect, even though hubby asked.

And we both stood up to him when he wanted to change at last day my operating time of 7 a.m. to noon so that the rep could be there! I had specifically asked for that early time because I hurt, was scared and wanted to get it over. As Hubby told him, if there had to be a rep there then he could get his arse there by 7 because hubby didn't understand why a rep needed to be there in the first place. There was no consideration of me, my situation etc.! I definately don't need someone like that.
