    THR Second hip done yesterday, anterior approach.

    I believe new shoes will help. No discomfort today until I put my shoes on. They are very good shoes with a lot of support but I’ve had them for quite some time.

    THR Second hip done yesterday, anterior approach.

    Good to see everyone here. I saved all those Doc from January Jaycee. Soooooo helpful. I told the PTs “No I’m not signing up for PT. The hip heals fine all on its own” yippee.

    THR Second hip done yesterday, anterior approach.

    So excited to get this done. I’ve been to the rodeo before but it’s already a different ride. Lol. Nothing to be concerned about at this point. I was here during my TRHR and this forum is a wonderful and informational place. OT has been in. I’m fully dressed. This summer I moved from our 3...
