    I am expecting to get the call tomorrow with my surgery time for Tuesday. Having some real panicky moments!

    I am having some really panicky moments thinking about the morning of surgery. I am also wavering between feeling depressed and in the next moment- grateful there is an option of surgery to relieve the pain. This is a real roller coaster ride! How are you hanging in there?

    Thank you for the information!!) It is my left hip- I’m looking forward to reading the recovery stories. I’m also looking forward to returning to work ASAP- so hearing about life on the other side of this is encouraging.
