Boy, I remember all those feelings and I did cry outside the surgery suite and they did go ahead and put me under and I have been on the road to recovery ever since. You just have to go forward. Like you I was bone on bone and my OS said you will simply get to the point that it will be too painful to walk and at 55 I didn't want to be there. I love the outdoors, flower gardening, landscaping etc and those things were no longer fun for me.
Hang in there. I did try some basic exercise before and rode the stationary bike to try to build back some of the muscle tone I had lost. This forum is wonderful and the folks here give great advice and offer up such support. I have reached out to them so many times I've lost count and I just hope I can give others some of what has been given to me!!
