Planning helps ease my anxiety and when I don’t have information it drives it up. Of course my back and other leg are starting to hurt because I am compensating for the bad knee.
Anyone have any ideas that might make post op stuff easier? I might stay at my parents and sleep in there electric recliner because it is a lift and will help me stand up. I am too heavy for either of them to get me up...damn Seroquel.

I worked in a nursing facility that had a fantastic post surgery rehab wing.
My friend that had her replacement last year was advised to do the 2 weeks in rehab, it was the right choice, she was able to follow specific physical therapy from the get go. There was always someone to help her if she needed anything. Once the incision healed she was started right into aqua therapy which was a huge benefit.
I understand needing to get everything set up ahead of time to ease the anxiety
