Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi I am new to this group and just wanted to ask some questions and get some advice. I am Hannah, 28 years old and due to have my THR on my left hip on Friday. I was born with congenital dislocation of the hip which was not identified until I was 14 months old. After extensive surgery I was told I would probably need further surgery in the unknown future. Well that day has come. After 6 months of hip, knee and back pain I have decided to go for it. I want to be able to walk for more than 15 mins, put my socks on with ease and to be as active as I was before the pain. I would love to hear from others of a similar age to me and your experiences. My main concern is the experience post op, what is it like? What clothes are the best for those initial few days in hospital? If they don't use a catheter is it hard moving around the bed on to bed pans??? Bizarre questions I know but all the same the answers would ease my anxiety. Please get in touch Regards Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
