    This os very interesting. Im getting my thr in a few months and im 19. But my replacement is different to others so im a bit worried. I have read about people doing lots whilst recovering but im slightly apprehensive about it. But we shall have to wait and see. Well done to you though

      Yeah it will be my 11th op. Iv got a hip condition that no doctor can fix apparently. This is my last chance at normality. If this doesnt work, the reat of my life will be very difficult

      Thinking about this from a security perspective ( i have been working in computers for over 45 years, and in crime prevention for 30 years), don't forget that it is possible for people to trawl websites (just like this one) for email addresses and target any they find with a virus/spam etc.

      Although people on here are genuine and absolutely wonderful, there are some not very nice people out there who might use the information you post against you.

      Best wishes,

      You can't publish even links here (I was told off for doing it - whoops redface), but as I understand it you could send a personal message with a link in.

      I have seen one by a surgeon in USA - not sure of his name, Peninsular Hospital I think - very informative.

    Wow, you are doing well aren't you.

    I think my surgeon does over 600 hips and knees per year, quite a heavy workload, you can see why they regard it as routine.

      Most surgeons do 5/6 a day here in Ireland. I'm blessed to have been one of the 1st the day I had my 1st in September. Hope next one will be as good as last one. Scar is practically disappeared & only mildly irritated. New hip is totally pain free. Bring on my other side in January. My life can restart😄
