    Feeling anxious...

    George and Devil Dog. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Show up and do what they say. Only advise I can give. I don't think anything can be said to reroute the anxiety your both feeling. I had my left hip replaced a year ago in May. First few days will be rough, but you will...

    hip replacements when you're young

    Jazztrio- I have to agree with rejoyce318. Do some research on Doctors in your area qualified in the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing method. It is a total hip replacement. They conserve bone during the replacement. You are too young not to have one. My first medical opinion I was given two options...

    Dental Surgery question

    Dalton- Your the front runner. I too am really having teeth problems. Using lots of Oral Jul and partial pain med left overs for the last couple of days. Couple of days shy of 17 weeks post THR. The ringer is that I am still on Coumadin. Not sure where or what to do. -Gary

    Muscle Spasms

    Sandy- Hang in there. You will get through this. That probably doesn't comfort you now, but it will get easier. My coumadin "voltage" was increased a couple days ago because my blood was still too thick. I also asked my doc a really stupid question at that time. (I didn't think it was stupid...

    Looking for answers

    Scared2- Welcome. Lots of good information in the above link. I would like to highlight that you must feel comfortable with your Orthopedic Surgeon. Second, do not be afraid to ask "stupid" questions. (there are none) Someone has been down that road before. Again, Welcome. -Gary.

    Blood Clots

    I really have a healthy respect for my Doc. He told me yesterday that if the ultra sound turned negative he wanted a MRI. The down side was that if it was positive I would be in the vascular guys care.

    I am scheduled... and ready to chicken out.

    I remember being wheeled into the operating room, scooted from the gurney to the table and picked my head up and thanked everyone in advance ".. in case I forgot later..." that is the last conversation I remember till about 3 or 4 hours later. Better living through chemistry. Can I get an Amen...

    just had surgery- please help!

    Jerseygirl- Let your OS make the call on going to school. If you do wear slippers or Velcro shoes till you can tie them yourself. Even at 14 weeks I still have good days and bad days on tying BOTH shoes. My only advice is heal first then do sports. I have watched my own babies play school...
