2013 December SuperNovas - Are you having hip surgery in December?

[Doupie]

bottomshollow, thanks so much for adding me......
hokieminer I will pray for you as I arrive at the hospital, I'm taking my ipad so I will let everyone know how I'm doing. It went great last time. I had no appetite and the only food I wanted was jello, naturally the hospital didn't have any..... So this time I'm taking some with me just in case......
jebrig3164 congratulations on the weight loss and the surgery will be a piece of cake, don't worry too much. This forum is the best place you can come to for advice and support. Remember there are no dumb questions, only the ones not asked......

Hey Jeff going to Emory for my surgery on 17th anterior left only. My right hip is Rock Star perfect! I think they expected both of mine to be blown. I cannot imagine the pain of two! Hang in there!

Comfy jammies, cozy bed, big soft pillow for your head. Worry not, the world can wait, take your time and recuperate!

Hi everyone...
I'm a newbie to this, so please excuse me if i'm not on the right track. Having RTHR on Dec.16. Gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 5 months ago thru C-section so this will be my second surgery in 6 months..... Very nervous, thinking about all kinds of possibilities...but also can't help but to be secretly bursting with excitement if and when things go well!!

 

[bottomshollow]

redleaf, you have been officially added to the December surgery list!

Please start a thread of your own in the proper forum. Here is the link that gives you the instructions you need to do this: Starting a new thread and posting

By starting your own thread, you and your questions and concerns will receive the attention they deserve. I look forward to seeing your first post.

Welcome to another Aussie - redleaf

As Judy mentioned start your own pre op thread or better still seeing that you are so close to your surgery on Monday and it is already Wed and I can imagine you are busy with Bub - under these circumstances why not start your post op thread instead... Then I will give you some interesting info and us Aussies can chat with you, there are quite a few of us now - great to have you aboard xx

Good luck everyone. I had mine last Tuesday, 10th Dec. I'm home now and so glad I did it. There's a quite tough recovery ahead from here, but you'll all be fine. And you also will be glad you went ahead and did it.

If you think of recovery from a THR as a marathon and not a sprint you will be fine....

......I'm home too, today.....surgery was Friday, 12/13, I feel amazing, none of "that gnawing, throbbing, horrible joint pain,".......surgical discomfort, yes, but I am truly amazed as to how much better I feel.......I am sooooo happy that its all over, will give a full report tomorrow, tired now.......thank you
