2014 March Musketeers - Are you having hip surgery in March?

[teakea66]

@funnybone Welcome - Please don't be scared & do know that you are doing this to make your life better. I want you to know that last week I felt exactly like you do now. As I write this I am home from the hospital and on my recovery journey. Sending you well wishes and prayers.

@funnybone I think being nervous is natural. I was a total wreak to be honest, however, having found the Bonesmart forum was a Godsend. The folks here have been a wealth of information. The information helped me prepare, fore-warned is fore-armed. My surgery was Mar 4, I had my right hip replaced. I was so nervous during the hospital check in process, I must have gone to the bathroom two or three times in the span of 30 minutes before they finally put an IV in my hand in prep for the surgery. I have to say once the surgery was done I realized all my nervousness and anxiety was the hardest part of the preparation. I'm 19 days post-surgery, off pain meds, using a cane instead of a walker, and start my outpatient therapy this coming Wednesday. I wish you lots of luck and a speedy recovery on the other side. Do try to relax a bit, I'm sure you'll do fantastic!

@TeeHip would you be so kind as to complete your profile? If you look, everyone displays their gender, date of birth (actually just their age) and location. Many thanks.
