I have had other health problems that I had to work on before they would do my hip replacement. I am 48 and I have been waiting two years for this replacement. I know I have had a lot of surgeries over the past 9 years, Including removal of my thyroid, roux en y gastric bypass that was just last year and treatment for two bouts of breast cancer. And you would think that this would be a cake walk for me but alas its not.I am more upset about this one then any other. I guess it was the well you can end up losing your leg that the doctor threw at me. That I had to be aware of that part of the surgery humm well I dont think I heard anything after that. I know now that its very rare thing to happen but it is still in my brain rolling around. I have AVN avascular necrosis in my hip and my ball in my right hip is dead so I dont have much choice. I also was told by the bone dr he feels it is from all the prednizone I had to take in the 90's for my asthma when it was raging out of control. I still think part of it is from having my second child that is a long story. Anyway my surgery is Feb 17 I have my dental clearance in already and am going in early Feb for my dr clearance. I have not come here often over the past few months I guess I was still in denial that it was coming up so fast.
