Love the rambling mark you’ll be fine in hospital you’ve got such a sense of humour you had me in stitches that’s the best thing when in hospital sensor of humour with everybody keep them smiling. You must take your top of many colours best wishes to both of you ❤❤😊
Wishing Mark all the very best for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. Both my sister and my Mum have had knee replacements and are now pain free!
I’m 4 months out of knee replacement surgery in Uk. I stayed in hospital three days. Good luck with your surgery. It surprises me now that my knee doesn’t hurt when I walk. Pre surgery knee kills me after a short walk.
Good to hear of your recovery process. Oddly , probably, I don't get pain as such, just the odd ache. But when last walking for a while, in Canada really, found I lapsed in to a shuffle after fifteen minutes or so. So I am looking forward to post op recovery, not feeling decrepit any more.
Sending best wishes Mark. Ah Kathy he’s rather lovely! Glad you enjoyed ‘Black Books’ Now that’s my life I have run a Bookshop for the last 20 years & I have a sign on the door reading ‘ No Stupid People’ Amuses the majority but upsets the woke! Love you musings- keep them coming
My husband had knee replacement surgery one morning and went home the next morning. Some go home the same day. Wishing you lots of good luck and we will be thinking about you and Kathy. You'll be glad you got that electric recliner - life saver.
The alternative was time in rehab ..... but he thought being incarcerated with old people zimmering about would not be good for me ; may have missed that I AM old people.
You’re right Mark. In the UK they chuck you out as soon as they can. Far to soon in my opinion. I hope all goes well for you and you have a speedy recovery. 😊
Mark, Sending you best wishes from Montreal. I’ve had both knees replaced,one year apart, six years ago. Hope your rehabilitation goes smoothly.Thank goodness you ordered that chair, you will be happy you have it. I found when sitting in a regular arm chair, that it was tough getting from seated to standing. I could really have used a chair like that.
Great to see you Mark, keep smiling. I love Black Books too - I'd love to see those again. I am sure you'll be fine and be home again before you know it. Kathy - remember to spoil him rotten when he gets home. He clearly deserves that. [by the way... Nice Tamiya mug Mark!]
Mark its probably better not to know too much just go with the flow. You will be fine. I stayed in 7 days first hip and 4 for the second one. No problems with the hospital at home after care with injections to stop DVT was worse. But 6 weeks after I could walk without crutches. Good luck for Monday, I was first in as well. The epidural was great. You will be fine.
Hope all goes well with the surgery Mark. I saw the hip surgeon last week and am on the list for a total replacement in about 3 months. He asked if I would like to go home the same day! I said no as I think it’s a big responsibility on my husband. It seems I don’t have a choice about general anaesthetic- 99% of his cases are epidurals and he does 10 a week so I’d better go with the flow. 😖
Mark, it will be the same as when you had colonoscopy! First they give you a little medicine in your intravenous line that will put you to sleep! You won’t even feel the epidural and won’t awaken till it’s all over! It will go fine and in a few months time you will be walking like you did 10 years ago. Good wishes to you and Kathy. I know you will be so relieved very soon. ❤
Go with the flow mark..all will be well!
Thanks, good advice.

Oh Kathy your Mark seems so nice. It’s the first time I’ve seen him chat on like this. He’s lovely.
It's true, I am. (!)
I have hip surgery scheduled for dec and it is out same day
Can't wait to get it over
The dr said it is bone on bone
@@lindawilson8434 same for me but sometime in new year. Good luck.
Sounds like my knee. Apparently the hip job much easier to recover
from, it is a much better type of joint. @@lindawilson8434
@paulinedixon3490 It's true, he is nice, it's why I chose him 😅☺
Wishing Mark all the very best for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. Both my sister and my Mum have had knee replacements and are now pain free!
All the best for your op tomorrow & look forward to hearing how you got on.
Good luck mark, I am sure it will be a life changer. We will keep Kathy company lol🤗
Hi we love your vlog, good luck Mark and Kathy, I hope the operation goes well.
Lol, Marc makes me laugh, love the rambling. Wishing him well.
I do a good ramble once I get going.

Glad you enjoyed ‘Black Books’
Now that’s my life
I have run a Bookshop for the last 20 years & I have a sign on the door reading
‘ No Stupid People’
Amuses the majority but upsets the woke!
Love you musings- keep them coming
Thank you. I find Black Books one of those series that infiltrates the psyche for quite a while, installs a different worldview. Great fun.
Thanks @Viviennemills9871 It must be amazing to run a bookshop. It was something Jo (my daughter) always dreamed of.
All the Best for the surgery and a super speedy recovery. ❤🙏👌🌿⚘️🌿
Good luck, Marc!
Merci.
Wishing Mark successful surgery and a speedy recovery ❤❤
Thanks

Thank you. My surgeon over here thinks three days will do it, then home visits from ?physios.
The alternative was time in rehab ..... but he thought being incarcerated with old people zimmering about would not be good for me ; may have missed that I AM old people.
Not bored at all and stayed until the end. 🤣🤣🤣
Wishing you a quick recovery. Take care x
Thanks
Wishing you a quick recovery and I will be thinking about you two ❤
Thank you.
Hope the op goes well Mark wishing you all the best 😊

Thank you. Quite looking forward to the chair. It even stands you up, ready for launching.
Good luck. Good to get it done when you are “young” so you can get plenty of years use out of it!🚶🏿♂️🕺🏼⛷🏂🏋🏽♀️🏃🏼
Good luck with the surgery ❤
Fab cardigan Mark. Good luck with the op. 🍀🍀🍀
Great to see you Mark, keep smiling. I love Black Books too - I'd love to see those again. I am sure you'll be fine and be home again before you know it. Kathy - remember to spoil him rotten when he gets home. He clearly deserves that.

Oh definitely spoil me.

But 6 weeks after I could walk without crutches.
Good luck for Monday, I was first in as well. The epidural was great. You will be fine.
Thank you.
I don’t think they do injections for prophylactic DVT anymore. I think they handle it by pill and regulate by blood testing.
Hope all goes well with the surgery Mark. I saw the hip surgeon last week and am on the list for a total replacement in about 3 months. He asked if I would like to go home the same day! I said no as I think it’s a big responsibility on my husband. It seems I don’t have a choice about general anaesthetic- 99% of his cases are epidurals and he does 10 a week so I’d better go with the flow. 😖
Epidurals are quicker to recover from. And the hip joint is more efficient than the knee, also easier to recover from replacement.
Mark, it will be the same as when you had colonoscopy! First they give you a little medicine in your intravenous line that will put you to sleep! You won’t even feel the epidural and won’t awaken till it’s all over! It will go fine and in a few months time you will be walking like you did 10 years ago. Good wishes to you and Kathy. I know you will be so relieved very soon. ❤
Good, that is what I hoped for. Was not entirely clear, with language complexities. Thank you.
Have you ever watched the series “Deadwood.” Perfect for binging. Not sure how you would find it…. Best wishes!
Ha! Good googlemymooglemies!
