I haven't stopped by the forum in a couple of years. I had Right THR in February, 2021, and was in pretty bad mood about needing both hips replaced in my 40s and having to stop my usual activities. Because of this I put my left hip off for too long. Then my surgeon retired, so I just ignored my left hip even longer. After realizing that I have almost wasted my entire 40s limping around I finally made an appointment and met the surgeon's replacement a few weeks ago. I was impressed with him and decided that he could probably do the job. Then his assistant said that he had an open slot in the next couple of weeks, so I took it. I told them that if they give me too much time to think about it, I will put it off again. So, here I am with a new left hip as of April 17, 2024. Everything went extremely well. The new surgeon is some kind of orthopedic wizard. Checked in at 5:30AM and was in the car headed home at 11:00AM. Not much pain or instability. Walked 3/4 of a mile today with a cane. Feeling good about the new hips now. Ready to move on.
