Just wanted to share with others how helpful the pre op class at my local hospital was before my knee replacement . They walked me through what to expect for my recovery and PT after surgery and taught me how to use crutches to get up and down my stairs since I wasn’t staying the night at the hospital and let me practice a few times. If you’re able to, have a family member or friend come with you. My husband was at my appointment with me and remembered things that we discussed that I missed and was able to help me practice crutches again at home before my surgery. Hope this helps someone out there!
