    Revision THR Getting close…2 weeks till surgery

    Thanks for the name of what they are talking about, I googled it and I believe that is what the PA called it. Sounds like a good idea. Good luck to you on your continued recovery. I’ll be going in on Wednesday, don’t have a time yet but hoping my recovery will be better the second time around.
