Hey everyone.... Hope all is blessed. I've just found out today that I need a hip replacement in the next 3 months. I have a 1 year old daughter and I'm so scared to how in going to manage as my partner goes to work. I'm thinking au pair or nanny. Please can someone give me more information regarding a hip replacement. Also if someone knows a nanny or home help. Please help. I Can't stop crying.

    Thank you to every single one of you pre and post op hippies. Honestly you guys have wiped my tears away without even knowing it. I'm still somewhat scared, however I am working on my faith as oppose to my fear. I guess it's all about preparation. In terms of childcare, food, big pants, nappy rash etc etc.

    I wish you all a speedy recovery so that you can fully enjoy summer and create special priceless moments that you finally deserve pain free.

    I will Defo be using this forum, it's awesome and somewhat healing to the soul in a funny way.

    I've still got a lot of anxieties, but I'm assuming that's normal. We will all get through this and I just want to thank you all once again... God bless xx
