    THR RockyRoada Is Back!!! and RockyRoada JR. is next

    Well, it's been 3 years since my right THR and August will mark 3 years for my left. I'm back in the saddle and doing great! However, our lovely, tiny 36 y.o. daughter, mom of 4 youngins, will have her left THR this Wednesday!! We have very different diagnoses, no family Hx and yet to hear from...

    THR Finally had first of both THRs

    The fevers have all but vanished. Hip, hip hooray! (Puns intended....hee hee.) Yes, I became a scuba instructor in the Chicago area at age 45...only female in the class and got the highest score, I might add. Girls rock. Haven't been diving for a long time as we lived overseas on mission for the...

    They still say they are only concerned when it is over 101'. But, 100'2 or 99.5 is no fun and seems to happen about 7 pm most days. Sigh. It does make me rest and go to bed early. I also did "spit out" one tiny stitch about a week ago.

    It will be 4 weeks Monday since my first THR (2nd to follow soon) and 2 weeks until return visit to surgeon. Wondering what is ok to do... sleep on incision? walk without cane? exercise other body parts? Comments anyone?

    Thanks guys! Have had a few days of no fever lately, but get one after every visit by my PT. Dr. doesn't seem concerned. The non surgical hip is hurting more now and will be done next. Can't wait to be walking on 2 good pain free legs. Patience is a virtue, right?

    woo hoo! I have a new hip. Surgery started about 4 hrs. late and took over 3 hrs., as my Os said that I had lots of scar tissue that he removed. Staff here are great and no nausea or problems. God is good.

    I am having surgery in St. Louis. We went to college at SIU. It's a small world!

    Thanks for the encouragement. I am so ready to have it over with. I have never had surgery but understand that this is a common and highly successful one, so here goes! I worked in hospitals for many years, so I know the drill from the other side. Hubby and I are putting an exercise room in the...

    Thanks, Sandybeach! You had your second soon after the first. Any problems? Did you have minimally invasive technique? Oh, and where is the beach in MN? I live in MO, but am happiest when in the ocean.

    May 6, noon. Can anyone comment on the return of flexibility--as for now, I have very limited. My OS said that I will have more pain because it will be difficult to dislocate my joint during surgery, though he is sure he will get it done and expects me to have a quick recovery. He says that I am...
