    THR RTHR over thank goodness but fell this morning

    @Gabs I'd like to say that it's great that your not using any walking aid however I have to give you a tiny bit of my story and how a fall shortly after my first surgery set me up for one failed revision after another. I'm the same age as you, and have had to have 7 surgeries on the same hip...

    @Josephine Kind of strange the tag is blue from what I see, no problem though. I hope your feeling better with whatever is going on with your health. I'm almost 7 weeks out now, wasn't sure I had to look at the calendar (this might be a good indication as to how well I'm hopefully healing)...

    @Josephine … I'm 5 weeks post op now, I feel fair. Not great and not horrible, it will take time that I know for sure. I have a question for you @josephine…. I have a pocket of fluid between the size of a baseball and softball. It feels like a water balloon to the touch. I have a lot of...

    @MajorHeidi @TJCal … Thank you both for your kind words. Heidi - I couldn't imagine walking down all those steps, nor trying to get on a boat on a fixed dock.

    THR Fractured, Fixed, Failed, THR two days later

    @pottergirl …Hope you are doing well. I experienced a fall as well and broke a few parts of my hip. The memory of my fall is still clearly there, but I don't feel down about it anymore. Hope your recovery continues to be uneventful, and your back to doing many of the things you talked about in...

    Hip replacement in November

    @Gilly …All your concerns are to be expected. I see a lot of the kind Bonesmart members have addressed your concerns, I can only add to what they've already stated. It might be helpful if you wrote all your concerns down, and the next time you have an appointment bring the list of questions...

    @Peaches …I remember you from a long while ago. Thank you for your well wishes, and for asking. I think I'll be 5 weeks this week, I haven't really been counting. I think because it all happened so fast, it's been different this time around. I have a build up of fluid which needs to be drained...

    Hip Infection Infection, dislocation, revisions, & life beyond

    @Vetgirl …when you first noticed something looked suspicious, but not diagnosed yet…. did you have a fluid build up around your incision. I'm asking because I have a large accumulation under the entire incision, it's about 5 inches wide, and the entire length of the incision and sticking out at...

    Hip dislocated year after thr.....

    P.S. @Audball…I didn't see your question until after I had already sent a reply. "Is the pain as excruciating if it happens again? ....I've started to carry emergency pain relief in my bag... Just in case. You never know when you might need it. Pmsl" Hate to say it but yes it is just as...

    @Audball …I have 5 as well, and experienced both C - sections & natural, and I can honestly say giving birth was a piece of cake compared to partial and full dislocations… haha. A friend of mine was talking about her c-sections and how much they hurt just a couple days ago, mind you her kids are...

    @Mercy1 … I'd love to talk to you more about faith, and how our strength is built in ways we sometimes don't understand, because I often ask the question, why? If it is alright to send you a private message, let me know. I understand if you prefer to discuss it on the public forum. I need...

    @LeeApril26 @LeeApril26 …Not sure why the tag isn't blue, hope you see this Lenora. Thank you for the link and suggestion, I positively don't feel that meditation, sound therapy, relaxation response, and prayer are hocus-pocus. I've actually studied sound therapy and meditation, both help...

    Hip dislocated year after thr.....

    I can completely understand the rate your pain from 1 - 10…being totally different then I once thought it was years ago….after experiencing too many partial dislocations, and dislocation over the years. Once someone has experienced what feels like someone taking a sludge hammer and being hit by...
