Well I’m going in Monday the day before you and I too am struggling with anxiety. I didn’t watch any videos because that would have sent me through the roof, lol. Had to take an anxiety med last night so I could sleep. Well prayers for both of us to calm down and have great surgical out comes. Prayers to the other side. I’d say drink but we can’t, lol.
THR Help me I'am FREAKING OUT!

Hi guys feeling anxious is natural I was the same prior to my Bilateral hip replacement once it was over, couldn’t believe what all the fuss was about.
Best of luck.

Had anterior 9 days ago. Went to rehab for a week, but had I known recovery would be so painless I would have gone straight home. Consider yourself fortunate that you are having the anterior approach.

Woohoo! 24 hours to go for you my friend! Super excited for you! Make sure you pack some snacks for recovery! Some good books and maybe some tv shows to catch up on. Do you have to work today? Or are you off to prep for tomorrow?
Thinking of you, and know that you will be glad to be on The Healing Side!

Grapeape here. Had my surgery on June 7th. Laying here in surgery pain. Seems like arthritis groin pain is gone. Question? Does anyone know how long it takes to raise your leg on bad hip side while laying on your back? It feels so strange that I can't do that. Today right now at 1228 am...
