However, please start a thread of your own in the Pre-Op Hip Section to post comments and share your journey toward hip replacement.

MajorHeidi , if you still don't have a date, it might be worth giving your consultant's secretary a ring. I was told 'May' but given no date... I couldn't stand the not-knowing, so I gave them a ring... It turned out they had a date for me all along, they just hadn't told me!
Edit: Oops, I commented without seeing the revised list - you have your date now! I'll leave this comment tho, in case it's useful to anyone else.

Thanks @Poppet - don't know how we will all fit into the OT - there are that many of us

 

[Sue629]

@Poppet....Thanks and what a beautiful sayin and so true Thanks again!!!!!

 

[Hdold]

Thanks @poppet…..love the saying. The bad thing about being at the end of the month is you keep seeing people coming off the list ….and we are still on it…….never mind time is moving….the waiting is SO hard.

 

[bottomshollow]

@Hdold, to make yourself feel a bit better, just hop over to the May and June surgery lists, so that you can see all the folks lined up after you for their replacements. They have much longer to wait than you at this point.

 

[Bondmgr]

I am in tomorrow, 4/21 for a left THR. Had a right in 2012.

 

[bottomshollow]

@Bondmgr, you have been officially added to the April surgery list!

 

[fulafoto]

All the best of luck @Bondmgr - hope it goes really well for you!

 

[Photodestiny]

I am having a LTHR tomorrow morning at 8am. I had my right one done 3 months ago and it went very well, so I feel good about doing it again tomorrow. Kaiser was wonderful to me last time and my doctor was great too.

 

[Jamie]

Good luck to you!!! I look forward to reading your first recovery post!!!

 

[Tori-1972]

I also had right THR on April 7th.

 

[M1ke]

All you April 29th and 30th people. Good Luck!!

 

[Sue629]

@Tori-1972 Good luck tomorrow.....look forward to following you all tomorrow ;)

 

[bottomshollow]

@Tori-1972 and @Photodestiny, you have both been officially added to the April surgery list!

Last minute advice for the remaining April rainbows. When they get you up to walk around the hospital make sure your gown is tied in the back! I know I will!
