    THR March 23, left anterior recovery

    5 weeks today. Thankful that I am done with the blood thinner. Drive to Costco. Bought a few items. Unfortunately not many of my steps registered to my fit bit since I was relying on the cart instead of a cane. But I did it! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    THR March 23, left anterior recovery

    2016 March Musketeers - Are you having hip surgery in March?

    @coral63 good luck tomorrow - my time slot has been moved from 11 am to 7:30 am, nervous.... I am assured that antierior is the only method my surgeon is using now.

    Nervous!!

    I am nervous too and now my sister is questioning whether I should have the procedure done.... I have to believe that my doctor would not have allowed me to schedule the surgery if he also didn't agree it was time. No a new mattress is not going to help! (seriously that was her text this morning)
