Hellooooo

Well Im kind of confused as to where I should carry on posting now. This new hip is recovered. No problem or pain with it at all. Im very very fond of it

But I have my other THR coming up...and much sooner than they first said. I have my date, just a few weeks away on 21st this month. Im feeling , well, terrified if Im honest. Not rational I know, my last hip was a dream recovery, so why Im so terrified is a mystery?

Do I post on the pre-op forum? Do I carry on with this thread? Or do I start another new thread here once the ops done?

Why am I so scared? Its at the same hospital but with a different surgeon. Please let him be as good as my last one . He does a lot of "knees" apparently, I hope he does a lot of hips too!

Im more scared than I was the last time! .

On the plus side, ALL my shoes are now being worn, irrespective of heel height . AND ( and this is amazing) I can do the splits again. So just WHY Im putting myself through this major surgery again, when even the bad hip can be that flexible, is beyond me really . But the surgeon says its bad, so off I go to theatre.

HELP....

Megga hugs. Why scared well because you have lightning strike twice thingmabob. No reason why you can't have two good opps just like I can't have two bothersome ones.
Chortle and eye bulge re splits, owww comes to mind

Lol @Legin , not "Ow" at all..it just goes to show how amazing my new hip is after less than 4 months post op, I think I must've had the best Surgeon in the whole world!

But it also shows how flexible my "bad" hip is too Which is why Im questioning if I even NEED this op right now?

Even though I was scared last time, I was in enormous pain with the hip, so getting it done was a no-brainer really, it was affecting my quality of life so much. But the Right hip now, not at all. No pain, very very little loss of flexibility and mobility, and Im so busy enjoying my new hip and doing everything I couldn't do for ages, so Im unhappy that Im going to be "layed-up" again after the op.

I like having painted toenails again

Oh well....ce la vie .

@Kay9 I missed some of your posts somehow, but I caught you today! I am so very happy that you're back to life (including splits, which too me a year of pain to manage on one side when I was 14!! Not flexible At All)!! And back to work, getting a doggy life back!
I agree with all who commiserate with you about your fear of the second hip, only two weeks! Even if you do take longer to recover from the second, when you average the two out you will still be a fast recoverer-- that Speedy Gonzales gene can be very helpful
It might be worth it to other pre op folks to start a thread on the pre op side, talk your fears out over there? Legin started one there while he waitst...
Keep us posted!!
