Very, very scared to have knee surgery and hip surgery

For the people who posted here about uncommunicative surgeons - find someone else. These people can be great at what they do but they are not gods. You deserve to be informed and treated well.
As for anyone considering a TKR, get in shape before the surgery and follow PT instructions post-op to the letter.

Yes, well it's a little late for that -- I MIGHT try to annoy him tomorrow and call his office to ask a few questions -- he's supposed to be great at surgery, but ridiculous when it comes to holding one's hand after the event. The PT is coming tomorrow, but I do have a question about why my thigh hurts so much, I can't lift it up at all. The surgery was last Thursday. It would be nice if the surgeon could actually care enough to explain. I hate to give a good craftsman like that a bad review, he has HUNDREDS of 5-star reviews, but--nevertheless--the aftercare personally from him tells me he's probably just too busy to spend much time after the operation.
