I totally agree with @Poppet .

@pchez01, you have been officially added to the January surgery list!

1/30 is almost here! I'm so ready for this and have everything pretty much ready. My surgery was moved from 7:30 am (meaning I would have had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am) to 9:30 am. I have been nearly totally sedentary and house bound during this polar vortex in Minnesota and in pain....so feeling gratitude that I am able to get this done by a good surgeon and people supporting me. I will post updates to the forum about how everything went and my recovery.

Thank you all!!!

I'm having THR 1/30 - I have been in so much pain for years and although really nervous, looking forward to a new life. I will have to have both done, but just having the most painful one done for now. Any tips? Thank you! I'm very happy to have found this forum

Also I am having the minimally-invasive technique and will report on that.

@Megan33 - good luck and I look forward to reading about your recovery from the other side!
