I am a 45 and have been ignoring my hip pain for over a decade. This last year the pain was constant and so bad that I couldn't ignore it anymore. I was diagnosed with severe OA in both hips. I will have the left one replaced in an outpatient surgery center on July 7th (was originally scheduled for May 26th, but the insurance company originally denied me). My insurance company finally approved me this week and I was able to schedule for July 7th.
I know we all heal differently but...... I have a Disney World trip scheduled for mid August (16th). This trip has been scheduled for a year and is also a family reunion trip. I have accepted that I will have to rent a mobility scooter because I will not be able to walk 10+ miles a day (only 6 weeks after my surgery).
Am I being ridiculous in thinking I will be able to go on this vacation?
