MARCH 25--D DAY

AFTER POSTPONING MY SURGERY FROM LAST SEPT. 25, MY NEW DATE
IS MARCH 25. I AM SO READY. THE PAIN HAS BEEN INCREASING.
I HOPE MY SURGERY GOES AS WELL AS THOSE I HAVE READ ABOUT HERE.

AS I HAVE LEARNED, THE POST OP PT WILL BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO DO MORE TO TRY AND STRENGHTEN THE THIGH AND BUTTOCK MUSCLE-SO PERHAPS IT WON'T
BE SO MUCH OF A SHOCK.

I MEET WITH THE SURGEON ON THE 17TH FOR PRE OP INFO.

THANKS TO ALL FOR SHARING

As a very recent THR recipient, I'll just say good luck, and take things one day at a time. Be SURE to get good pain meds the first few days. Get on stool softeners immediately. My complication has a very low probability, and I think that my knee/nerve is starting to come around. A good info site for everything about hip replacements: view link
