September Sapphires 2013 - Are You Having Hip Surgery In September?

[Red Shoe]

Stillnuts welcome hip buddy we can all celebrate together and should be dancing by autumn.

 

[Butterfly]

Add me to September. My date for left hip (the wor, bus st one) is September 30. I was hoping for a whole lot sooner, but alas . . .

Second one will be about a month later -- I schedule that one tomorrow.

How do I add the date to my signature line?

Butterfly, you have been officially added to the September surgery list!

 

[Butterfly]

And me, but not until Sept 30. I wish it was tomorrow, too, and I'm counting the days. And probably the second one late October, so I'll probably be an October whatever-it-is also. Hope to be a lot better by Christmas!

[Kerilyn]

Well I'm back... 16 months after RTHR .... getting my left hip replaced... 9/11

 

[bottomshollow]

Kerilyn, you have been officially added to the September surgery list!

 

[Skay]

Yeah! Another person on 11 September! Hi Kerilyn.

 

[Skay]

Does anyone else feel... on a good day, maybe I really don't need the surgery? I sometimes feel like I am just being a hypochondriac. Then again, when I try to sleep, I wake up because of pain; when I try to walk at a normal pace, I get SHARP pains and have to stop.
I am having one of those days.

 

[Kerilyn]

HI Skay... Yes we are the same day and the same age I know what you mean about ...

I went through the same thing. When I went to the DR to schedule my surgery, it was a good day and I thought hmm do I really need to do this and then bam! I had a reality check when I had constant sharp pains ugh! Wish it wasn't true but I keep reminding myself I will be pain free and able to get on with life once it's done

 

[Red Shoe]

Yep, I have good days and think" nothing wrong with the darn thing" oh how it gives me a wake up call

 

[Skay]

Oh, today was one BAD day. Made me really long for September.

 

[Red Shoe]

Oh, today was one BAD day. Made me really long for September.

Hugs from across the pond, I too have had a bad day. Won't be long though and we will be on the other side

 

[Butterfly]

Unfortunately, my hips have progressed to a point where I don't have "good" days like that anymore. I did in the past, though, and that's one of the reasons I fooled around so long in going ahead and getting this done. Then when you get to the point where you decide you have to go ahead, you encounter lots of waiting for an appointment with the OS and then a longer delay for the operating room and surgeon to come available at the same time. Hence, I'm not scheduled for the first hip till September 30 and the second one on November 4. The handwriting on the wall was there a long time ago, I just was too stubborn (and scared) to read and accept it. Fooey!

Love and peace to you.
