    THR 1 week since surgery

    @fiberlady, good to have someone that is exactly on the same timeline. Ohhhh, the itching was s o bad. Thankfully, the all over itching is gone, but sometimes, right around my incision, it itches like fire! I don't know if all of the nerves wake up at once, or what. I try to lightly scratch...

    THR 1 week since surgery

    @DGrant, thank you for the nice greeting. I'm glad things are going well for you too. I waited a long time needing to have this surgery, and every time I think about that I'm on the recovery side it makes me so happy! Sent from my iPad using BoneSmart Forum

    THR 1 week since surgery

    @Jayce, I'm not watching the clock anymore for meds, and am able to go a little longer than every 4 hours. Unless I have PT coming, then I work the scheduling of the Med for an hour before he comes. I take a pill if I'm really uncomfortable, but I try icing first and that's been working. When...

    THR 1 week since surgery

    @Jamie, thanks for the charts and information. It made me feel better that I am more the "norm" than some of the posts I've been reading where people walking upstairs on day 3, or not using a walker or crutches or cane before leaving the hospital. I applaud them because they must have been in...

    THR 1 week since surgery

    Hello all, My surgery was scheduled for Dec. 9th, but was moved up to Nov. 23rd. So, it's been a week and I'm doing pretty good. The morning of surgery I was given a spinal block, which I was almost more afraid of than the surgery. It turned out to be nothing. Then I was taken into the...

    I guess I can be moved to the Novemer group. Surgery moved to November 23rd. I am SO ready!

    2015 December SuperNovas - Are you having hip surgery in December?

    Jenny, I still haven't heard back from my doc about the A1C. I've left two messages for the MA, so she knows I'm very anxious. I'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up for November surgery. I don't think an A1C can lower that much that fast. I will let you know when I hear. My other surgery...

    2015 December SuperNovas - Are you having hip surgery in December?

    Hi Jenny, I had knee replacement 5 years ago. I found a forum before I had surgery, and it made a huge difference in preparing for surgery, and having a million questions, and just having support from people in the same boat. It felt good too to be the one who could help others with advice and...

    Right THR scheduled for October 19th

    I am so jealous that your surgery is so close. I woke up at 2am with horrible pain in my hip, and now it feels very unstable when trying to walk. It almost feels like something happened, like something slipped, or moved. I just don't know why it's so painful now. Has this happened to anyone...

    2015 December SuperNovas - Are you having hip surgery in December?

    My surgery date is December 9th. I wish it was tomorrow. I am a type 2 diabetic, and my A1C was 9, and they won't do surgery until it's 7. So, I'm working hard on bringing it down, and doing a good job. Being in so much pain is good incentive to be "good". Happy to have this forum to...

    Severe pain suddenly

    Well, I saw an OS today, and there is no question whether I need hip replacement or not, it's how soon can I get it done. Which, with this doctor I saw, is not until December! The thought of being in this much pain for 3 more months is very depressing. But, I have an appointment 10/1 with...

    Recovery question

    Jaycee and Sharon, and all, thank you for explaining how this works, and what to expect. When I had my TRKR in 2010, and revision 2011, I was not working and I didn't have the pressure of returning back to work. All of your answers are giving me the realization of what to expect, and what to...

    Recovery question

    Andy, thank you for sending me good wishes. I sincerely hope things start getting easier for you too. I've been wondering if a kneeling chair would be comfortable, having it to trade off with a regular desk chair throughout the day. Wondering if anyone has suggestions for comfort in a chair...

    Severe pain suddenly

    Wow, what a great group on here. I can't thank you enough for all of your advise and suggestions. I have so much to learn. I didn't even know there are different approaches to this surgery, and different appliances. I have a lot of reading to do. As I mentioned I have an appointment with OS...
