I have now had both knees operated on , the first one 2 years ago, and the second one recently.
I was so pleased with my first operation, that is why Dr Thomas and I decided to go the same with the second one. I was allowed out after 4 days. I had to have a pico vacuum dressing put on, due to the amount of bleeding. This was a little awkward at first but with a little persistence it became quite manageable. I recommend you keep up with the exercises you are told, this will help with the knee rehabilitation for when you start at the gym for full rehabilitation.
I cannot praise Dr Tom and his amazing team enough, so polite and professional. We had a little hiccup and had to go back to the day ward, this gave me time for another nap. OK now time for the operation, all went well. I now have matching knees, 😂.
