    Congratulations on your THR, hopeful your recovery is as smooth as mine has been...my THR was an unscheduled emergency event, so I had no time to think about what I was getting myself into.  I just turned 51 this pas June and I had my THR done shortly after my injuries from the Ecuadorian earthquake revealed I had shattered my femur head when I dislocated and fractured my hip...on April 16th of this year.  The first three weeks I used lots of ice to keep swelling down and very little pain meds.  I followed the Dr's post op instructions to the letter...do this and I think you will be up and at um before you know it

      Thank you for the warm welcome... Yes it was quite a scary event I would wish on no one...my wife also got the worst of it.  She broke her neck and had a traumatic brain injury...I am now her caregiver but we continue to make strides in our recoveries...we did end up receiving excellent surgical care here in Ecuador and we have decided to stay for now...we have not been back to where it all happened, Canoa,Manabi, but we will go back.

    Congratulations Michelle. It is always good to hear that someone has come out of this surgery feeling positive!

    And as I am going for my second one next month - it is particularly good to hear.

    Best wishes for your way forward and a smooth recovery.

      I'm not until September 20th! Seems so near yet so far. But I will get to spend a week with friends at their cottage - beautiful place and people.

      Some days the exhilaration outweighs the trepidation other days ... not quite. Oh well, as the song says: What will be, will be ...

      Wishing you a brilliant recovery.

      Oh and the same to you Linda, I will keep you in mind. Hope all goes well for you...talk about trepidation....Oh I just so want it over with so I don't think about it anymore either. Had my pre-registration at the hospital today, and all my pre-op things are done. Didn't have to do as much this time as they are able to still use the ekg, chest ex-ray from last time. So I am ready to go, just waiting for that day to arrive. Wishing you well....Hugs...Barb
