Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Goldie, Talking to others who have been through the surgery already always helps. We were all nervous before our surgery also, so that is normal. Get your home and some helped lined up. The more prepared you are the easier it will make life for you after you return home. Also ask all the questions you need to beforehand so you know what to expect. This group is a great source of information. We are here for you before and after you have your surgery.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 You know, when I first talked with the hip guy a couple years ago, he gave me this book about hip replacement surgery that seemed oddly familiar...I finally recognized it as " Dick and Jane Get A Hip Replacement. " Seriously, that's just about what it was, and that totally cracked me up when I thought about it. (And most folks old enough to be replacing hips are also old enough to know what I " m talking about.) In a message dated 6/4/2011 4:15:13 P.M.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My Doctor said the new hips rarely pop out they have improved over the years. I had my right hip done 5 years ago and it was definitely the right choice. I am having my left hip done next week. I too get shooting pains down to my knee, I am assuming that bone on bone is pinching some nerve. I will let you know how things turn out.
