    March Musketeers 2013 - Are You Having Hip Surgery in March?

    I want to thank you for all you have done for so many folks for such a long time. You are a very special person to give so much of yourself to so many going through this process. I would never have had the support I have received on this site were it not for your encouragement.

    pre-surgery fears and blues

    Stargazer, your post was a great read for me . I'm 4 days out from a March 18th surgery. Great to read such a positive and inspiring post.

    Thanks for your encouragement and good advice. I think I have more trepidation about recovery than the actual surgery. Keeping my own pace and goals would seem to be the key from all the good counsel folks are providing. I've always been the "Human Bulldozer" the one who wants to blow up all...
