    THR Back for more.....

    Mojo, Thanks for the supporting comments. As we all are aware, there are mental effects and physical effects of the diagnosis and resulting surgery and recovery. Being able to read the stories and experiences of others is great. For me, it gives me confidence in the outcome. A positive attitude...

    Team, I am back for more. My Right THR turned out so good, at the first signs of groin pain on my left side, while fly fishing this spring, I decided to not wait. This time though I decided to try the Anterior Approach, due to the significant muscle pain I experienced last time. So, I'm...

    Hey @hoosier78, Glad to here you have reconsidered some of your pre-op expectations. It is clearly a Male thing. Mine were VERY similar to your's. I just read your's to my wife, and she laughed at me again! I return to work next Tuesday, a day short of 5 weeks after surgery. Maybe you should...

    Layla, Thanks for your supporting words, and great Info. The dizzyness was scary, I think more so for my wife. She was with me and the PT when I passed out the first time. Thank goodness my In-Hospital PT was prepared and VERY big and strong. I had a safety belt around my chest that he used...

    Thanks Yokesgirl, Yes, my plan is climbing the deer stand in October. Dr says it should not be a problem as long as I follow the restrictions, and do the PT. I plan to do both. I love fall bow hunting, and I plan to have a few more trips around the sun to do it with a NEW HIP! Russ
