I just found out they can't schedule my needed surgery

2. Yeah, knee replacement is not for sissies

I've had both done (separately) - my bone on bone knees were just too painful to live with anymore. The insurance company was not happy since not only did I have both done the same year, the doctor got me into a rehab hospital for intensive physio therapy for both operations. Then I turned around and got carpal tunnel surgery and ulnar nerve relocation done the same year since using a cane and wheelchair got that to the point I couldn't function. (The other hand was done a year later due to my Dad's illness and death.)

It also limited the out of pocket to "only" $10,000 for all three operations, LOL.

The good news was that my knees hurt less the day after replacement than they did the day before.

Are you getting shoulder replacement or just rebuilding? My left shoulder was completely rebuilt but that is a whole different story.
