    I liked it so much the 1st time, I'm goin back for the right side

    Yippy, its all over now! I am out of recovery and in my room, playing on my laptop. No problems with surgery except a torn muscle or tendon that he found and fixed as well. Can't wait to get home and maybe get back to normal, whatever that is :cheers:

    Baby steps.... Another newbie

    Goody, surgery should be over and you should be resting comfortably now. Keep pressing the morphine button and you will be resting good. They should give you plenty of pain med scripts before you leave there also. I am really happy another hippie is out of that disgusting pain, no other way to...

    Hi MusicTeacher, being terrified is a normal feeling before surgery:). I know I was and did not sleep much the week before. I love to see the sun come up but not because of the terror in my mind. But after all the worrying and terror you have been through you are going to feel like a new person...

    May Marvels 2013 - Are You Having Hip Surgery in May?

    Thank you tennisnut, they do not feel like butterflies, more like hawks! I am trying to focus on the after, no pain or almost no pain. It has been 4 years, I can not remember the no pain days now, although I can "see them". In a couple of days I hope to be giggling about this fear :angel:
