Thank you, like I said previously this will be new for me, but I have read thru a lot of the personal forums and WOW this is what I need to gain a better understanding of my surgery. Like a lot of the people who post here they were not sure of what to expect right after you get your new hip, the unknown so to speak, that is really what cause most people the anxiety and depression, they just don't know what to expect! I am one week out, and I am still trying my best not to get pre surgery blues. I know many people who have had this procedure and they were all up and walking without pain and assistants within 3 to 4 weeks, I just need to get the surgery and start my transition to recovery and walking without this dang cane and pain, right now I am stuck in the old Heinz Ketchup commercial>anticipation! More to follow.
