Post surgery protocol
Hi All,
I am just looking for experiences or opinions, not lectures.
I recently had a TKR ( total knee replacement). The surgery went well and I am healing slowly.
However since the surgery, I have not seen the surgeon even once. I have only been dealing with the NP....staple removal and on my 6th week visit ex-rays and a full evaluation. She seems competent enough but she is not the MD.
Is this a common practice in Florida? Had I known I might have had the surgery up north where the docs show up post surgery as well.
Be sure to ask your doctor if he will continue to see you post surgery. I believe he did an excellent job....I’m just surprised he is now a phantom!
