I recorded recently a whole knee replacement operation. Have only watched about 30 minutes of it so far but I reckon I will need one soon as just under 3 years ago I got right knee sepsis Arthritis and spent just under 8 weeks in hospital and had three knee wash outs
I have concerns about picking up an infection too so will delay until absolutely necessary as during my stay at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital I picked up a bug Carbapenem Resistant Organism which means if I ever go into any hospital I have to be isolated with enhanced infection control which means a single room and all visitors and staff have to wear long sleeved gowns and gloves!
Other than that I got excellent treatment but it does rather put one off having such an operation until really the bitter end.
