Hi all,
I had my pre-op appts. yesterday with both my surgeon and the hospital. We spent 2 hours in the surgeon's office between him, his PA, and his nurse and got every conceivable question I had answered! (I had a lot!) I will have a ceramic ball with a highly cross-linked poly liner. I think I've seen where several of you have had that and seem to be very pleased with it. My date is Feb. 4. Then we spent 2 1/2 hours at the hospital and got even more questions answered. So between all those appointments plus getting my blood drawn twice, urine test, EKG, and chest xray, I think I'm ready! I still get scared thinking about it, especially the recovery, but all your posts really reassure me that I'm doing the right thing!
Also I'll try to answer the call for more pictures from the "newbies" in the next few days! Found your instructions on how to post pictures, Josephine, so I might be able to do it!
