That's nice about the pre-op class. I don't think my doctor offers such a thing, but I'll ask. I like my doctor, but -- maybe I'll look for one that offers such a thing. However, not sure any doctor does that in this area (south Florida). Thanks for your response, I will ask the doctor, I'm going to him tomorrow.

@cindiwass make sure your surgeon does anterior approach as scar is on top of leg and less muscle, nerve, involvement. Heal faster and easier. But still takes a year for complete healing. Also I had an epidural to numb my lower half and lessen post Op pain. They did this in the OR. Plus anesthesia.
I am still numb and have some swelling but that doesn't stop me. My good friend is a PT Professor in Chicago and guided me. Important to do PT always.
Good luck tomorrow!
