Tomorrow afternoon I'll be having some "work" done on my right leg--the one I had a revision done from a failed TKR done on it.

Earlier this year, I had a tooth abscess that wasn't discovered until my checkup. Because of my TKR, I usually take antibiotics before any procedure, even a regular cleaning.
We don't know how long I had the abscess since I had absolutely no symptoms.
There is concern now that I have an infection in that leg...

Ortho doc will make several small incisions to take samples for culture. No results for a few days unless something grows immediately...
I will be sedated and that is a plus! With my spine surgeon backing me, I refused a spinal block.
Knee doc is upset about that...TS.

For being a tough old broad, I sure am getting nervous. This will be my ninth surgery in two years, one TIA, and one heart episode. I don't care that it is being done as same day; I hate being put to sleep again, getting cut on, pain meds, and etc./etc./etc.

I would sincerely appreciate it if y'all would send thoughts for strength/trust/less fear...

Darn, but I feel like running away
except running was taken away from me years ago
It's not like me to be sad/worried about another surgery, especially an easy one.

Thank you.
Catherine
