    Bilateral THR Excited to get two THR!

    Today is my surgery day! I was told to expect a check in time as early as 5:45 AM so I was shocked to find out my check in time is at noon! That just gave me more hours to clean! I have been more stressed about the home health people coming to my house and have been cleaning like mad. Yes...

    Bilateral THR Surgery scheduler finally called!

    I have been waiting for that phone call since November 1st! The omicron put a one month moratorium on all elective surgery during February so that pushed me out even further. I have spent the past five months obsessively reading BS. I've read hip recovery stories all the way back to 2014. The...
