How did you guys like the podcast style?

[Jrmyf]

One of the things I would recommend is a notebook for tracking meds because you quickly forget if you took them on schedule. Track time date, med and dose.

[kelleefiola]

I absolutely love your presentations. Sometimes I just look you up to increase or create a good mood. Love your intermingled jokes-really liked the story of the person with the folding bed issue. Keep your presentations coming. I actually am planning a knee replacement this coming year.

[deejayreff]

I can't express how grateful I am for this info. I'm 8 weeeks out from a TKR and this info helps allay some concerns. Your presentations are very accessible to those who sometimes are intimidated by the complexities involved. The comments about any pre-op scrapes, etc. are critical for those of us who try to remain active until surgery. I hope hearing your anxiety-reducing, funny points, as well as being a healthy vegan will be in my favor. Peace, love, and kale!

My surgery is next week (partial knee replacement), The Talking Docs series has really helped me understand what to expect. I work out 3 times/wk and have other athletic interests so I was doing the pre-op exercises I was assigned, but not 3 times a day. I still have some time to get back on track.
Thank you for making all the videos that are available I have learned so much! I have also have a friend who is afraid of getting tkr. I told her what I told myself- “knowledge is power.

Just had my first TKA - right knee - on December 8th (a week ago today). Dr. Vasarhelyi at University Hospital in London was my surgeon. I worked really hard and lost 124 pounds before surgery (340 to 216). I’m told the surgery went well. My pain has been absolutely brutal for several days afterwards but it’s under control now with Hydromorphone. Admittedly I’m a total wuss with pain and have a very low pain tolerance. Things are healing well and the physio’s are happy with my progress. I’m having my left knee done next November- same place, same Doc. The one thing I’ll do differently though is have the nerve block. I wanted to do a femoral block for the surgery but it didn’t happen and I have back issues so wasn’t comfortable with an epidural. I’m so looking forward to in about 16 months, I’ll be walking like a regular person again - it’s been 7-8 years that I’ve been on crutches! 😊 Thanks for taking the time to do this channel, you both are awesome!

PAU (pre-admission unit) nurse here. This was so informative. Feel like this video should be played in our waiting room. Thanks for all that you do.

[julietb]

Before my first TKA, I had so many questions, and luckily I had a friend who had recently had one and she helped me prepare. But, it was while researching prehab exercises that I stumbled upon your channel and found it to be the best source of answers I could find. Thank you for all of the great information!

[charlespowell]

I don't care where you do the shows. The operating room are in an office as long as you do the shows. You present some outstanding information

[sallykingman]

Thank you very much. I am having my pre-surgery appointment next week and then plan on having my knee replacement surgery, September. I find your videos, very helpful and actually quite comforting.

[pamelanewton]

Love you guys. I’ve already had my knee replaced and it went well. Except for the fact that I slept in and was late getting to the hospital. I was the first one on the schedule for the day so this was not good. Must have been something in the air that day because the Dr was also late cause he slept in. Everything went great. I’m now a year post replacement and am loving my new knee. I knew what to expect because I had found you guys prior to surgery so I had no surprises.

[annecarrick]

Thank you for your comment, as someone who lives alone and is due knee replacement surgery end of September it has reassured me to read your comment. I hope your recovery is going well.

[sharonkelly]

Your videos are so helpful and your sense of humor is wonderful!

[DonnaTaylor-vx]

I am 2 weeks away from tkr surgery and, just by chance, one of your videos popped up on my Google TV and I decided to watch it. I found your videos to be informative with some comedy. As a Canadian, I appreciate finding Canadian content. I enjoy watching your various videos, not just the tkr ones, so keep them coming.

[lisabaker]

I recently had a full knee replacement! Everything you commented on was on point! Thanks for sharing! I wish I would have seen this video before surgery! I’m recovering by doing my therapy and following g the surgeons recommendations! With many thanks!

[teachercatmom]

Love the podcast style! Sound quality is terrific!

[jsstar]

Hi Docs I really like the podcast format. Acoustic is better. I think you two enjoy it. Here it comes 611k🎉!

[AAtta-]

Had my total knee replacement here in the States a year ago. Always enjoy your videos and this one was spot on! Good info for someone going for knee surgery. As for the new set, well I kinda like the OR setting better. Less formal and the humor stands out more. All the best for a healthy holiday season.

It’s good to see you guys taking the weight off your feet! I had my TKR a week prior to the first Covid lockdown here in the UK in 2020. I can therefore confirm that it is possible to manage alone with hardly any support, though it was a rather lonely experience. Be diligent with ice and exercise, and take prescribed painkillers regularly.

[willfields]

Love the format, love all of your videos. Very informative and thought provoking when it comes to planning for a total knee replacement.
