    Hi @Jaycey - thank you for your kind words! I have definitely been dealing with a lot of pain (from the RA, and not just in my hip), so perhaps that is what is making me so tired - I think my body is just having a tantrum maybe, lol. I'm using a heat pad on the area, and that helps. :)

    Hi calikat! I should have explained what a lapboard is - I've used one so long I assumed everyone would know what I meant, lol. :heehee: I am looking forward to hearing how your appointment goes today - wishing you lots of luck! As for me - I seem to have turned a major corner these past...

    You are very welcome, calikat - and I am so glad you do not have an autoimmune disease! Having OA is bad enough, you don't need any more on your plate, that's for sure! I can't wait to hear about your follow up appointment - sending you all my best wishes! :flwrysmile:

    Timing between bilateral THRs?

    Hi flowergirl, thank you for sharing your experience! It never occurred to me to go ahead and schedule it and see how I feel - I can see your point. I see my OS this Tuesday and will definitely discuss. Thanks again and CONGRATS on your new hips! :yay:
