    I am going to finally get this done

    @MargeeTx, that's it, make that call. You won't believe the changes you will see & the way your life will change for the better. I am almost 5 months post-op and rarely even think about my hip anymore. I am doing things that I forgot I loved to do like gardening or even going shopping without...

    THR Plumberbutt's A Hippie 3/26/14

    Hi Brian @Plumberbutt - I saw my OS two weeks ago for a final check up (until next year) he tells me that if I think I feel good now wait until next year. Now I'm feeling pretty darn good and can't imagine feeling better but he assures me that after a year I will see a greater difference. That...

    THR Bill's Bionic Breakdown

    Oh Bill @fulafoto I'm so happy that your trip to the hospital found everything A-ok and that you are back feeling better now. I tried to pull that "my new hip weighs more" at a Weight Watcher meeting but they weren't buying it LOL. In my case I had a lot of "oh boy I did it, my THR is done - let...

    THR Bill's Bionic Breakdown

    Hi Bill @fulafoto sounds like things are going great:) I'm happy to hear that you are resting, icing and following all the rules. As the days go on you'll find those rules harder to follow as you'll want to do more & more. When I saw my OS last week he said I'll feel even better a year from now...

    Having LTHR on July 14, 2014

    Kris @fearbox I have a recliner that came in handy, I slept in it for the first week home. Other than that just a pillow under my leg for the couch or bed. I sat on a pillow in the car or on a dining room chair. You are so lucky to be scheduled so quickly. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart®

    Having LTHR on July 14, 2014

    @fearbox So sorry you have had such a tough time. Keep reading and asking questions - The BS community will be here to help. I had my RTHR on March 19th & I was very fortunate to have little post op pain. My OS does not order physical therapy other than a few home visits right after the...

    THR Moms4tne's Recovery Thread

    @moms4tne Here's something my OS told me yesterday at my (almost) 4 month check up " you will continue to feel better and better for the next year, you won't even realize it." This statement amazed me because I feel so good now! He went on to explain that the relief of being pain free is what I...
