THR DonnieP's Hip Recovery
Hello all! My apologies for not posting sooner but I just wasn't up to it. My surgeon saw my very large hematoma last Tuesday and asked if I'd like it removed. I agreed, and was thrilled that he thought removal was the best course of action because I certainly did. No way was that large of a...- DonnieP

THR DonnieP's Hip Recovery

2018 September Sapphires - Are you having hip surgery in September?
I had my left hip replaced on 9/5/2018. Prior to that, I had THR on right hip done 4 years ago. I had both knees replaced in 2013, four months apart. This site has been a help to me over the years, before and after surgeries. Since it's been 4 years since my last THR, I thought it would be...- DonnieP
