This Month has gone by so fast, thank goodness..the wait for THR is almost over...can almost taste it, yet, probably won't believe it's real until driving down to admitting room next Wednesday AM, early....trying to behave myself, like keeping playtime with Rosie at a minimum, so, no accidents with her running into me, all wound up playing frisbee...Blood Pressure FINALLy down to normal, after being a bit high while detoxing on not only Nicotine, but Ambien(Another thread for another day..if YOUR using Ambien, BE Careful, it's potent stuff, and, can cause bizarre issues when mixed with alcohol)...
My Mental state is pretty good, I think...pretty much over the fear stage, and, onto the "Let's do it" phase, and get mobile, pain-free again....been a LONG haul for me, as I was told over 2 years ago to get this done, and, postponed, as no pain in hip, just my KNEE...in denial....finally, pain went beyond severe, bone-on-bone, and, it was too late, just had to wait, and get on surgery list....believe me, if I ever need a left hip, it will be done long before bone-on-bone, learned my lesson...
I am concerned about my knee, as the report for it was pretty gruesome(loaded with O.A, spurs, blah, blah, blah)...hoping knee pain will be reduced after THR, and, buy time with a hopeful simple cleanup job....1 thing at a time, 1 step at a time...
Thanks for all of the support here...has helped a lot with moving forward.
