Doing a lot of reading, research and praying! I have my pre op appoint on Thursday and hope they give me more information about recovery! it is being done out patient at Fort Sanders Tennessee Orthopedic Clinic!

Best wishes for an uneventful hip replacement. I went through that twice in 2008, and went on to have a great, productive life after recovery. Tomorrow is my RTKR. So I’ll pray for you, you pray for me! We both got this!
