[marcsgirl102]

@noam'sgran, I was terrified for my first THR, too. And I too was 57 for the first one (my second one is a week from today and I have very little anxiety about it this time.) Will you be in a local hospital with doctors you know? Or at one of the big hospitals in Jerusalem?

 

[marcsgirl102]

My RTHR is scheduled for Tuesday, 31st of May, at noon. Check in time is 10:00 am. I have done all pre op tests, just have to go to joint replacement class this Thursday. I wish my nerves and fear would ease up. There isn't even any one thing I'm scared about, just everything and anything that pops into my head at any given moment. I suppose mostly I'm afraid because I'm still so big. I weigh 284 now with a BMI of 47. So wish me luck everyone, and if you pray please include me in your prayers if you think of it. Thanks.

Hello May Marvels,
Left THR May 18, today is my 2 week post op appointment with surgeon. Excited to have itchy staples removed!
Me: 41 y/o, sever osteoarthritis of both hips, moderate arthritis both knees, moderate spondylosis of lower back.
This surgery is the first of many procedures over the coming year or 2 in hope of feeling better. Have had chronic pain for several years now.
Excited to have begun!!

I had right THR 2 weeks ago today, May 19. Spent 2 nights in the hospital and was home on Saturday May 22. My doc was Dr. David Mayman at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. This is my second experience with Dr. Mayman. He resurfaced my left hip in February 2009.

Everything is going very nicely. As of this past Tuesday I'm walking a mile outside with the help of a cane. Only minimal discomfort while walking and none while sitting or standing. 4" incision is healing beautifully.

Kyle,
Walking a mile with a cane at 2 weeks post op!!? My word I wish i was!! My Dr says 4 more weeks with the walker even though i feel I could do much much better with a cane.
If anything, this stupid walker is slowing me way down because I have to figure out how to get around it.
I call it my roll cage, I intend to paint flames on it.
Good For you!!

My Dr says 4 more weeks with the walker

Hiya
I think of it as short term sacrifice, long term gain. There are as many approaches to rehab/recovery as there are surgeons replacing hips. It seems to me that If I trusted my doc enough to do the surgery, I trust his thinking on the best way for me to recover
