Hang in there twinklepop this site is God sent. The people are great and very helpful. Someone can answer almost any questions you may come up with. I am on the other side now I had RTHR yesterday morning. I do believe I will make it through this. Good luck. Kate[emoji254]

@melimar99 & @twinklepop ... we're all scheduled June 27... Thought I'd say hi and send along positive vibes. Less than three weeks! Wishing you peace, health and strength... and smooth recovery.

Thanks @Mojo333 I am already seeing how helpful and important this community is. Thanks for the encouragement. It's easy to think my case is "special," but reading the stories here I realize there are so many people managing pain... concerned about surgery... taking that step... and then recovering to something better.

I generally consider myself an optimist... but this long slide has sucked a lot of the wind from my sails. Time to get back to the REAL me... the one that thinks: Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

I have a great OS. Going to a highly rated hospital. I am done living a life focused on avoiding activity to minimize pain. I choose to take this step, nervous yes... but no longer afraid. It WILL be OK. [Steps off soapbox]

Everyday you spend reading post from pre-op and post-op they will lift your sprits and help you have a positive outlook. This board has helped me more than I ever thought it would. I will be visiting this site even after my hip is healed. Hang in there .... Kate Kimmer[emoji254]

Hi...
I'm having double hip surgery on June 16th. I'm 51, single parent of three, and have lived in pain many, many years. It's time I guess. I have so many emotions running thru me. Glad to have found some support. Have you guys bought the toilet seat raiser, shower chair, ice packs...anything else in preparation?

 

[Donnarita]

Good Luck to you 1nan !!! I am having RTHR June 23...it's only been a year and I am shot..my mom had bi lateral 20 yrs ago and did great!! You will too!! Our lives will change for the better!! I also have gotten all you have and also the shower holder to put on the wall to hold onto...to get in and out..a walk in shower must be a blessing! And stocking up on stool softeners...painkillers are very constipsting..stay hydrated....I also might get that handle thing with the piece you can pick things up off floor...this sight is a great positive pick me up! For pre op and post op..the library is great too!! Good luck to you!! Keep us posted on your journey!!!!

 

[pegggus]

Yes yes yes to the grabber that helps you pick up things from the floor! I bought one and was given one, as a friend told me to have them in different rooms. They are awesome! I also loved having, and will use again, a leg lifter. I also found that a big roller my sister gave me ended up being helpful for post-op physical therapy.

 

[Mojo333]

Glad to have some company in the double hippy club @nan1. I know you are nervous...I was SO anxious. We are too young for this...I am now at 6 weeks post op and am doing really well. Not 100 per cent but the one struggle I don't have it's debilitating hip pain. My surgery was also after many years of pain.
My diagnosis was endstage osteoarthritis, how about you?
Will be thinking of all of you!
