6 week check up today (at 7 weeks). Not sure how I feel - new hip is great - no pain - but still in pain from other hip and still can' t walk that far because of it. Know it needs doing, and know I need to discuss it with the consultant. If I have it done and it feels like the other one dies now it would be fantastic - it's just the thought of going through the whole process again - and telling my employers I'm going to be off again. Didn't sleep well last night thinking about it - which means I turned over several times in the night - so hip really aching this morning. Can't keep fooling myself that everything's o.k - left getting the other one dine too long - could hardly walk, had no social life etc. Guess i' m not really asking advice - know the answer really - just wanted to put my feelings down somewhere they would be understood.
