@rmorgan, what is AVN?

@rmorgan, what is AVN?

Sorry. Avascular necrosis. Basically a loss of blood flow to the bone causing the bone to die and eventually collapse. Mine is in the femoral head.

@rmorgan
that has to have been a huge shock. Your surgery is in 3 days! You will be amazed at how well you feel immediately after the surgery. No more walking on broken glass. good luck!

That's a good way of putting it. I'm very much looking forward to not walking on broken glass!

Wow it looks like there are eight of us moving to the other side this week and on the road to relief and recovery! Good luck to all of us and the rest of October Hippies and thanks to all those who are already in recovery who pop into the thread to provide reassurance and support. I'm getting a little nervous but still working right through to Wednesday and still have some running around to do to rent walker, raised toilet seat etc!

Godspeed all y'all. Best of luck next week.

Hi everyone. October 28th is the big day! Just found this forum after googling "skateboarding after a hip replacement". That's the goal! Albeit a long term goal, but a goal none the less. I had 6 corrective hip surgeries when I was a kid (3 on each / one at a time). The left one had much more intense work done on it and I was told that by age 30 it would have to be replaced. I skated for about 15 years until it became too painful, snowboarded for 25, raced downhill mountain bikes on a national level for 10 as well. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly "nice" to my hips. I am now 41 and am finally taking care of it. Partially because the pain level has risen to a ridiculous amount, but mostly because..... I want my life back.

I've read some VERY inspirational stories in internet land and look forward to joining those who have pushed through this process and say "Man, I wish I did that ages ago!" because that seems to be the one thing everyone says after they've recovered.

Glad to be a part of the group!

Hello @Unchein Welcome! I got my new hip in SF on 9/30, doing great, I am amazed at my recovery although I do sleep a lot. Very little pain and good mobility at 1 week. The forum is great for any questions you might have. I am already more mobile and flexible than before the surgery. Glad you found the site.
