Done and home! Everything went very well. Dr. said surgery went as planned and my right femoral head looked like a ping pong ball with a big dent in it. Looking forward to recovery.

Hi! My pre-op appointment for a LTHR is May 12th along with the two hour class. My surgery is set for May 23rd. I'm very nervous and am struggling. I know it's best for me..but still worried. The type of method being used was not mentioned. Hoping to have some answers at the pre-op appt.

Hi
I am having a R THR on the 18th May, having been cancelled on the 27th April. Have attended all the pre op classes and read all the amazing information on this forum. Had a LTHR in 2009 which went well and the hip remains brilliant. The same surgeon is doing the right hip so am praying for the same outcome. I had a spinal anaesthetic last time with sedation which was great and am planning the same again. I'm lucky to have an experienced surgeon and live close to a centre of excellence. Am trying not to get too anxious and am concentrating on the positives of pain free mobility in due course.

Hi Kaura ~
You are almost to the finish line (or is it the starting line?).....I have my 2nd THR scheduled for tomorrow AM.
I am 6 months post #1 THR & feel a little less anxious knowing what to expect but still......a little edgy.
Hope to get a few Zzzzzs tonight but see you on the other side soon!
Best to you!

@oznut - all good things for you & @houndmom tomorrow! @Hipster023 & I are right behind you, on the 22nd. There's the rest of the Marvels - @jassiblu, @aura & @BSA.
Hope to hear about your progress on the other side. May we all be dancing this time next year...or sooner!

@oznut Great news! Will look for your recovery thread as the weeks pass.
Surgery tomorrow for me and @Hipster023...
It's funny, Friday was my last day of work and an end of the semester party. It was wonderful to get everyone's good wishes and be able to say, "Oh yes, everything's ready, got all the to-do items checked off." Yeah, right. Yesterday, I realized that even though all the big stuff (pre-op tests, home equipment, insurance auths, disabled parking placard, etc.) has been done, there's still a slew of small-but-important stuff to do and it's got to get done, TODAY.
- do laundry
- locate baggy pants capable of accommodating post-surgical swelling set up nightstand
complete advance directives form
- double-check pre-op instructions
- pack bag for Hospital
- betadyne wash tonight
- etc., etc.
Feels similar to prepping for international travel, just maybe not quite as fun.
Added to list:
- listen to "Successful Surgery" guided visualization and affirmations again
- get my Zen on
And away we go!

Surgery set for Tuesday. I've been nesting lol.house is all clean...even windows. I'll rest better knowing things are clean and where they go. Issues with my blood pressure in the last week or so. I think it must be anxiety. Starting to get a tad nervous and worried. Trying to stay busy.

Hope your recovery goes well. I'm on the other side. Since my surgery back on the 12th have been depressed and wishing I hadn't went through with it. Please let me know it will get better and it is worth all that I'm going through.

Hello from the other side! @ScenicRte - how did it go? I was sick with cold entire week before the surgery, but they still decided to proceed yesterday. It went well, I have no pain, I was already up in the afternoon and today I went up and down the stairs. Seems like I am going home in a few hours. Everyone here is amazed how well I am doing (including myself) so I hope it stays that way. Hope you are doing well with your recovery!!!!
