2017 June Sunbeams - Are you having hip surgery in June?

[Freedom]

That's great @PamelaJane ! Hope you get everything set at home. This means your end to pain is coming! I had signed up for an earlier date if they had a cancellation but never heard. At this point even if they have a cancellation I can't take it; my pet sitter is on vacation until June 11, so I must wait for my June 12th date.

I made it! Ate dinner, had coffee and donated .75l to the plastic jug.

Good to here Dougie0216 good luck on your recovery.

 

[dougie0216]

Went for two 100m walks today. The therapist said I would hate him tonight. I don't hate him but my hip
that got me in to the double hippy club has doubled in size... dressing change at 0130. I will have a pic for the badge of honor page. Welcome to the new sunbeams. I am sleep deprived so I will catch up with everyone tomorrow when I get home and get the IceMan pumping cold H2O.

Newbie here...
THR, lateral approach, scheduled June 27.
Developmental Hip Dysplasia... diagnosed in infancy.
It's been a long, slow slide to the point where surgery is necessary. Loss of mobility and increasing pain crept up little by little, over decades (I'm 53). I tripped in November and there's no going back. Can't live like this anymore; it's time for surgery.

I feel good about my dr, but nervous about surgery. I'm concerned about leg length discrepancy- perceived and actual. Post-op I'm nervous about learning to walk with "normally" since I have had an odd gait (with some torque in my femur) my whole life.

Wishing others pre- and post-op health and healing... and looking to gather some positive vibes and prayers as my date approaches. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, this is my first post, I am having a left total hip replacement in Northampton, England on the 27th June. I'm 36, and this operation follows a diagnosis of DDH at 3 years old, followed by a salter osteotomy and a femoral osteotomy. Been in pain for about 6 years

 

[Mojo333]

I can't imagine... So happy you will be getting a new hip. You certainly deserve some relief!
This site has been so comforting to me. I had both hips replaced May 1 due to several OA and was in pain for 4 years. The thought of hip replacement was scary but my post op pain is finding and these new hips are going to allow me to continue my life without all that pain. Best of luck! Stuck with us!

 

[Mojo333]

Stick with us...

 

[Mojo333]

@313Lola Sounds like things have been very tough for you for a while. Lots of worries... But can't help but think you WILL work all those things out. It will be a worth while journey! Hoping all the best for you. I have two new hips at age 53... Thought that was crazy. Then I started checking out this site and how many folks our age and younger have had THR and how much it had improved they're quality of life. I'm so encouraged, and you should be too. A chance to be better... And not just have to get up and deal with it.
