I am getting ready for total right knee replacement surgery next week. What tips, tools, suggestions do you have for before & after surgery? It's a bit daunting.

@ann16, There is a discussion on your question that you might find helpful:

-- How should I prepare for my knee replacements?:

I wished I would have had an ice machine to use after my knee replacement surgery but I was able to make do with several flexible ice/gel packs. This helps keep the swelling down when you are icing and elevating the knee after you get home.

Hoping your knee replacement surgery goes well next week!
