You'll Be OK!

[Guest guest]

:

I am so sorry, I know exactly what you were feeling.

I had to have both knees replaced at different times.

When it came to go back for the second knee the next year. I was laying on

the gurney I started to freak out. I told my husband that " maybe I did not

have Osteoarthritis as bad as everyone thought including myself and maybe I

shouldn't have the surgery, " he kept reminding me how bad the pain was (that

didn't help), I was trying to convense him and myself that maybe it wasn't so

bad. My husband ended up calling the doctor in to give me another shot of

valume (spelled incorrectly I know, but you get the drift).

No, you are not a chicken, this is a big step and you just need a little time.

I am feeling the same thing. I am scared to death that if I go under for one

more surgery that I may not make it. You know what its like the others say I

could die driving out of my drive way or crossing the street. I appreciate

their input but it doesn't change the way I feel.

I will pray to God to help you in your decision making.
