Good luck to your dad Steve. You're obviously concerned and worried as anyone would be but doctors are very clever these days and just think- with his new knee (after he gets used to it and heals) he will be a new man!

by **Steve** Fri Dec 28 2012, 23:04

i hope he fine Sad

it's a huge op it's going take like 2 hours Sad

by Guest Fri Dec 28 2012, 23:08

a welcome break Laughing

by Guest Fri Dec 28 2012, 23:17

2 hours will pass like a second under anaesthetic to your dad so don't worry about that, it will be much longer than that to you I know.

A private room is a great bonus - he'll enjoy it you see!

A friend's wife recently had a knee replacement & she was home within 48 hours! That was about a month ago & she's had no problems whatsoever. Walking around fine & no pain at all. She walked to the loo within a couple of hours of surgery!

by **Kathy** Sat Dec 29 2012, 11:18

I'm sure he will be fine Steve, will he want to go home again Laughing

I will be interested to hear how he gets on as my hubby is having his partial knee replacement very soon too.

Probably because he is surrounded by all those nurses Steve Big Grin

, Wishing him a speedy recovery, he will be fine

by **Steve** Sat Dec 29 2012, 19:42

i said have they give you your birthday treat yet he said they going give it to him at midnight Laughing

that was when he was born

by Guest Sat Dec 29 2012, 19:43

Tell him to be careful, there might be some who are just after his money

by **Steve** Sat Dec 29 2012, 19:45

by **Kathy** Sat Dec 29 2012, 19:45

He wouldn't be able to run far though would he Laughing

by Guest Sat Dec 29 2012, 19:46

But looking at it from his point of view he could spend his money on allot worse

by **Steve** Sat Dec 29 2012, 20:07

he been in a right mood since he was told he was going need a new knee, there still a chance he could still lose his leg because it something like 1 - 5000 of people will get infection after the op, but he was more worrying about his heart hes got dodgy ticker

by Guest Sat Dec 29 2012, 20:12

Hope is has a speedy recovery and everything is good

by Guest Sat Dec 29 2012, 20:43

I'm so glad that your Dad has had it done (a worrying time for you all I know - chance of losing it, dodgy ticker ) but it's DONE! and he is well and cheerful! and he won £500 what a bonus money eyes

Great stuff Steve and your Dad!
