Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 One thing I've seen in all of these groups (both THR and Resurfers) is the common statement 'I would have done it sooner if I'd have known it would be this good.' Sure there's an element of risk, but the odds are far and away in your favor. Go for it. -Anton > OK, I'm really getting the jitters (thinking about cancelling)about > my resurf on Wednesday and would love to hear from anyone who > felt/feels the same or anyone with any advice... > > 1)I am only 25 and the thought of losing my real hip (albeit a > damaged one) so early on in life is making me panic.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Thank you for all your advice Hippies. You're right Tony that it is one of those times that when you haven't got it on the horizon, you feel every jab of pain and can't wait to have it done. But then when it is 4 days away, you think you can live with the pain! Thanks again.
