    I am so happy for you Michelle....that is great....I am right behind you getting my second hip replacement in less than 3 months next week. Had rthr on May 17th...going in on August 12th for my lthr....I hope I have a quick recovery this time. Last time they also found a fracture and I was in surgery almost 4 hours. So I was able to bear weight on my right leg for a while. I am hoping for a better outcome this time. Wishing you well and hope you continue to heal quickly...Barb

      Wow and you are doing so wonderful. I think I did pretty good considering they found the fracture to top it all off and had to repair that to. Am hoping though for a shorter surgery and not any more fractures next week when I get my left hip. The way it feels right now though it wouldn't surprise me, as it hurts really bad...
