As one of the "mother hens" I want to wish you the best of luck with your surgery Meat.
Been a registered nurse for 16 years, I just recently went back to Med/Surg floor nursing a month ago. We get a lot of bilateral knees. I am astonished to see how incredibly advanced ortho has become over the years. I know in my heart you will do just fine. Undeniably a painful, major surgery but I also know, just from being a huge fan, you have what it takes...
endurance!!
From my experience, when it's over and you are fully recovered and pain free...you will feel like the six million dollar man with "bionic" knees!!
I watched you run across the stage 8 shows this year in AWE, I can't even imagine what you'll be like in 2013!!
PCA, CPM, and PT are a must! Nurse's orders!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers on Monday and as always.
Love ya!!
