2018 August Hot Shots - Are you having hip surgery in August?

[NanaKP]

@Small1014 - First I should say that I didn't do any other interventions before scheduling the THR. I was out of commission with a foot injury/surgery in the fall of 2017 - during which, I had 4 pretty hard falls. What I thought was an injury from those falls was actually end-stage Osteo-Arthritis, the pieces kind of fell into place from the previous years. That being said, I think I can say now that I am at week 8 post-op that all went pretty well. It definitely was a LOT slower recovery than what I had anticipated. The OS and staff kept saying I was going to do "Great and be up on my feet in no time flat" so I had the bar set pretty darned high. At week 2 (when I went to see PT), I was pretty down on myself, pretty sure I was doing something wrong because I wasn't farther along in my recovery. He reassured me that I was where I should be at that point. Still . . . I had very high expectations and was pretty down about it. Now that I am at this stage, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope that helps you out somewhat. I'm living in surreal land right now as I go through post-op and also pre-op for the other side. I really didn't want to be laid up all summer but I don't want to stretch this out any further either.

I'm no longer scheduled for my right total hip replacement on August 6, 2018. I went in for my pre-op and when I mentioned the pain I was having in my left hip, they did an x-ray and I have a greater trochanteric fracture. Though a CT Scan shows some early (slight) healing started, it has been 12 weeks since the THR so they are repairing said fracture this coming Wednesday, August 1.

 

[deerhntr]

Ok. I'm new to the forum, but..... I will be the first on to get on the otherside of this surgery in August.

My Surgery Date is 8/1/2018 by Dr. Wayne Luchetti of Coordinated Heath Hospital in Bethlehem, PA. So i'm up in 2 days for a THR on my right side. This will be my first!

Thanks,
Russ

@NanaKP
I know this has probably all been very anxiety producing and worrisome for you.
Hope all goes well today and hope when you are up to it you will start a recovery thread so we can pop by and check on you.
Let us know if you need help with this.
Sending healing hugs
