Having rubbed shoulders in the orthopedic world for 40 years, I would like to reassure you regarding hip replacement surgery. It can be life altering in the most positive way. I have known many people to enjoy downhill skiing after surgery, grateful for a pain free life. Recovery is surprisingly short, many people go home the same day as surgery and even walk a bit with a walker post surgery, same day.
The most important step is checking out the surgeon. Select one who does a lot of them and has good outcomes.
I would like to request your prayers and light. I have several tests tomorrow that I'm pretty nervous about. They're related to the knee surgery I had back in October that went sideways and resulted in two more emergent surgeries. Thank you in advance. I truly believe in our power as a community to heal and help each other. ❤️
@lowtide May tomorrow bring all good results for you.
@lowtide, I'm praying for a very good outcome for you tomorrow.
@lowtide I just logged on to tell you that I see you in a golden light. I feel that you will do just fine tomorrow, try not to worry. ❤️
Thank you all for your support! It means so much! ❤️
It appears to be a common thing to be fearful of tests and procedures.
My mother had knee surgery in her eighties . Despite her fears she had a quick complete recovery.
My sister in her sixties had hip surgery and wished she had it done sooner.
Both had a great outcome
Let that angel give you a massage. It will clear out the fear.
@ghandigirl you are so right! Fear and dread of bad news!
I developed a huge blood clot in my leg following a routine meniscus repair to my knee. Had to have a filter placed in my chest and go on Eliquis. Retired early from my nursing job because it was so painful. So I've been sweating this 6 month followup!
Sometimes there are complications! But most of the time people do just fine. 🙂 And my angels are helping me!
@lowtide Hope you got some positive news yesterday!
