@Cynjl, your surgery date has been officially changed!

 

[Editormom]

June 15 for a LTHR due to congenital hip dysplasia. Will hopefully fix my LLD, which is at least a 1/2 inch. Nervous about how tight everything will be until it gets used to the new length. Doc says I don't know how great I'll feel since I've never really had a hip on that side. Hope he's right!

I am having a left hip replacement operation on June 26th. I have osteoarthritis in left hip. I had been putting it off because of fear that I might be worse off after operation but it is only getting worse and I can hardly walk. So praying that I will have a good outcome of operation.

Hi all - I'm going in this Tuesday AM for my RTHR. I'm told I'll be inpatient three nights, then off to rehab for a week (hopefully). Any suggestions about what to take in the way of clothes and shoes? I'm figuring on bringing loose dresses and the baggiest pants I own for PT, but I'm not sure what other than a robe I'll need for the hospital. Also, I was told sandals not a good idea, so I've bought stretch laces for my sneakers - any other suggestions? Thanks, Deb

Hi all,
1st time here, nice forum, thanks.

Quite a shocker to me, but am doing
BTHR 24 June 2015.
Like the other member said, "I can't believe I'm doing this", tho at this point, the pain is so bad and so regular, I want them OUT. NOW.

Left THR done June 1st. Right THR scheduled for June 22nd. Nice to be in a support group of others also going through this!

Milasmom, good luck tomorrow. I'm planning on a robe for the hospital and warm socks with the grippies on the bottom. I'm also going to go to a rehab facility for a few days. I got some knit, loose fitting pj pants, shorts, and crop pants to wear during recovery. I'm sure there will be swelling so material that has give and is soft is what I'm going for. Not sure what shoes to take since I'm prone to foot swelling when I have hip or knee trauma. I have some that can slip on so that's what I plan to wear.
