hip replacement surgery date set
I set up my pre-op (Dec 5) and surgery (Dec 23) for the total replacement of my left hip. I have been told that I will need to spend 2-3 days in the hospital for the initial recovery stage. So I guess I will be at the hospital for Christmas! Even though it is looking like the 2 operations of the past year will have been pretty much a total waste, at least I know now that there really wasn’t much else that could be done. I expect that I will need to get my right hip replaced very soon as well; probably in 2009.
