    THR I'm back!

    Right hip replacement scheduled for 9/10--here we go again! My left hip was done Dec 2018, with a revision surgery six weeks later due to infection, so it's been awhile. Good to be back on this very helpful and supportive forum.

    Hip Infection On the healing side

    Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Update on my dad: He was transferred to the rehab place yesterday and settled into his room. His first PT was this morning. His mood has not improved. I understand--he's upset because he needs help doing everything from rising from a chair to using the...

    Hip Infection On the healing side

    An update on my dad's LTHR (anterior) on 10/1... I'm happy to say he came through the surgery with no complications or problems. He was able to have the spinal + sedation, which is the preferred method for someone my dad's age because of the chance of mental confusion. He woke up clear...

    Hip Infection On the healing side

    Hi @Layla and @clodaghcov, Continuing to do well and am back to work. I still have to get up and move around often, but that's a good practice anyway. Just passed the three-month anniversary of the second surgery to clear the infection... I am grateful every day that things turned out well for...

    Hospital Experiences

    @Icespirit5, I'd never spent a night in a hospital before my hip replacement (2 nights' stay) and six weeks later, another surgery to fix an infection (5 nights' stay). Before my first stay, I pictured a dim, quiet room, comfy bed, plenty of time to sleep or read or listen to music. Nurses...
