Aww, I fully understand as I’m sure many others do also. I had a quiet little cry in bed the night before my surgery thanking God for the hip he gave me and the 60 yrs it served me well.
I had another “tearful moment” post op the first time I saw my bloodied bandage in the mirror just hours after my surgery. It was my first surgery ever and it was like a reality slap looking at my reflection and realizing all that transpired while I was under anesthesia. My thought was “this really just happened”.
Joint replacement is a big deal and given the choice most all of us would prefer not to lose our natural hip. I’ve learned to be thankful for the miracle of THR as it’s given me my life back. Are there concerns that go along with an artificial joint? Yes, but we have no guarantees about anything in life so I will continue to move forward with a thankful, grateful heart and the hope this prosthetic will last my lifetime. I wish the same for you!
Please stop by anytime you need support, encouragement or advice and we’ll do our best to help.
A wonderful holiday weekend to you!
