My surgery is March 12. I’m a bit nervous but I had knee replacement surgery last July so I’m sure I’ll be ok. I’m alone.
Someone just mentioned putting compression socks on can’t be done alone. That worries me. I’m on blood thinners and clot. I almost died from a pulmonary embolism years ago!

Hi @Lucia631 welcome to the March crowd :happydance: it must be a bit of a blow having to have your hip done after your knee, but I've read that knees are more difficult to cope with than hips, so you should be very competent! I think maybe the trick is to get everything organised beforehand, and there is lots of info and advice here to help you. As to the compression socks, I believe the soxon gadgets can help with that, and also not everyone have to wear them....it depends on your surgeon, some people take oral blood thinners and some seem to do injections, so maybe you could talk to your surgeon or his assistant about it? I'm sure lots of other people will advise you if you put a thread on the pre-op forum :)

Woohoo! You’re a day after me. Good luck!:welome:
 
Thanks! Do you think I need a leg lifter. Someone suggested it. I’m always on blood thinners and have to bridge with injections prior to surgery so I’m sure I’ll need them again,
I see my surgeon Friday. Getting nervous! I don’t have much pain in my hip so I’m hoping for an easier recovery as the knee was horrible!
 
Hey everybody, I sure do hate to leave the group, but they've changed my surgery date to February 27. Headed over to the Feb. Forum now. Good luck to all!
 
ooh touch me for luck! Happy for you @mills_pc, earlier has got to be better! So only 4 weeks to go....hope they go quickly for you :happydance:
 
yay and I'm only 3 days behind you :yes!:
 
I’m one day after you @sequin98, already vacillating between Yay and Oh No! :good-bad:
