Newbie jumping in!

@Nana2-8,
Yep, was using Aleve a couple times a week to keep my hip/leg pain in check (seemed to work the best for me).
But as of yesterday no more Aleve. They also told me Tylenol was OK - Will probably have to give it a try at some point this week - my body now feels like it was hit by a truck!
(Still amazed at how bad it has got since being scheduled for surgery!)
Best of luck Thursday & we'll see ya in the post-op section!

OS office called this afternoon & advised that doc said all should be fine for next week!
Uhhh... Happy?

A new beginning for you @NAUTIQUE ! Not long now!

I remember every time I realized this was going to happen (a day or so before surgery), my mind would kind of go into blank mode. You'll be back on those ice skates in no time @NAUTIQUE!

Hey @NAUTIQUE! We're having ours done on the same day. Will be good to compare notes ;-). Been looking forward to having my right hip done for a while, albeit nervous at times, but just think about 6 weeks afterwards. Going to be awesome on the other side!

Welp, last day of work today (took tomorrow off to try to wrap up lots of last minute things).
Big family wedding this weekend. My niece is getting married with events from Friday night through Sunday.
Planning on lots of and then they can just wake me up Monday afternoon when its all over!

Head is spinning & body is killing me!
As much as I want to run the other way, I want this over with even more!

Good luck and hope you have an awesome weekend!

Welp here we go!!!
It's THE DAY!
I'm lucky to have an easy morning though. Don't have to be at hospital until noon.
So sipping my allowed (3) 8oz. cups of black coffee & trying to stay calm.
Not too bad so far, I'm pretty much at the point of "knock me out and get this over with!"
Biggest help has been this forum & a couple of hip-replacement facebook pages.
Thanks so much for all the support from you all!!!
Hope to see ya in the post-op forum real soon!
