Please can you share with me the quickest way I can leave the hospital after a hip replacement? I am desperate to be back at home with my children and family and hate hospitals. I would quite frankly walk on hot coals, I am sure it will probably feel like it too.
My operation is on Tuesday, I am absolutely dreading it/can't wait for the day to come in equal combination. I am sure everyone feels this way...I am just so worried for my children.
Thankyou

I think you have to go with the flow. If you are in the uk they will want to make sure you can walk on crutches, go to the loo by yourself and be able to go up and down stairs. Don't put yourself under pressure because it may be that you need to get the pain under control and you may not be able to do the stairs until day 3.
Take each day as it comes and if you get out after 2 days it will be great but personally I would plan for at least 3 days
Hope all goes well
Take care

Let's hope you feel better soon. This is a horrible time for you.
The children will be come through it all. They are well cared for and will come to no harm.Rest assured they will be fine.
You are the main concern. Your health and safety must come first. Please don't try to rush home before your body has time to recover. Take it easy and let the professionals do their work. The quickest way to leave hospital is to relax and let your body do its work in peace. As the quote says "Let go and let God"
Loving thoughts,
Shirley

The worst bit is when you are pre-op, and waiting for the unknown to happen. It is only natural for your mind to wonder what is to come and worry about it.
Like the 'double hippies', I am in the unenviable position between operations, so I am recovering from one THR, and waiting for the next op. So I will be in my TED socks for 6 weeks, out of them for 4, then back in them for a further 6 weeks again , same goes for alcohol.
Then there's all the medication that I know I have to have again, most of which I know my body does not tolerate very well (I rarely take paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain normally).
Best wishes
Graham
