Had my surgery on Tues, I'm feeling great and home already. I had complex rthr with bone grafting. That horrible bone on bone pain has gone.
So happy for you! That pain is awful. Keep recovering well but remember it's early days. Warm wishes

Glad to hear you are feeling well, dont try and rush your recovery.
Its very early days , ill b takin it easy no worries there, but feeling very good considering
I wont b rushin we all have our limits
Golly that was quick only in for two days well done
Congratulations on your THR, hopeful your recovery is as smooth as mine has been...my THR was an unscheduled emergency event, so I had no time to think about what I was getting myself into. I just turned 51 this pas June and I had my THR done shortly after my injuries from the Ecuadorian earthquake revealed I had shattered my femur head when I dislocated and fractured my hip...on April 16th of this year. The first three weeks I used lots of ice to keep swelling down and very little pain meds. I followed the Dr's post op instructions to the letter...do this and I think you will be up and at um before you know it
Congratulations Michelle. It is always good to hear that someone has come out of this surgery feeling positive!
And as I am going for my second one next month - it is particularly good to hear.
Best wishes for your way forward and a smooth recovery.

I am so happy for you Michelle....that is great....I am right behind you getting my second hip replacement in less than 3 months next week. Had rthr on May 17th...going in on August 12th for my lthr....I hope I have a quick recovery this time. Last time they also found a fracture and I was in surgery almost 4 hours. So I was able to bear weight on my right leg for a while. I am hoping for a better outcome this time. Wishing you well and hope you continue to heal quickly...Barb
oops was supposed to say was NOT able to bear weight on my right leg for a while....
What day is yours scheduled for again Linda? I am having a hard time keeping up with who's is when...Sorry....wishing you luck. I got all pre-registered at the hospital today. So I am done with all of the procedures and things pre-op....Now just nervously waiting for the day...Good luck...Barb
I'm not until September 20th! Seems so near yet so far. But I will get to spend a week with friends at their cottage - beautiful place and people.
Some days the exhilaration outweighs the trepidation other days ... not quite. Oh well, as the song says: What will be, will be ...
Wishing you a brilliant recovery.

Oh and the same to you Linda, I will keep you in mind. Hope all goes well for you...talk about trepidation....Oh I just so want it over with so I don't think about it anymore either. Had my pre-registration at the hospital today, and all my pre-op things are done. Didn't have to do as much this time as they are able to still use the ekg, chest ex-ray from last time. So I am ready to go, just waiting for that day to arrive. Wishing you well....Hugs...Barb
