Hi fellow hippies. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, posterior left THR. I have been running around getting everything done and prepared as best I can. Then it hit me today that they will be taking part of my own body out sad and replacing it with a foreign hip. It just made me feel a little strange, a little sad and a little scared. Did any of you feel that way? I know that this is a wonderful thing to remove all of the pain but it still felt strange today. Love you all more than I can say. Thank you all for being here for each other - Cindy

    Greetings Cindy. I have a thr s exuded for Monday the 28th. I'm feeling the same. I am not the kind of guy to be afraid of anything. Mostly I'm concerned about being able to do some things.
