    Take life slow and easy while waiting for surgery sorry to hear you have OA . The best thing would be to ask a hip surgeon or google online for restrictions after hip surgery to protect the new hip this will be similar to what you need before surgery. These restrictions will help you learn how to move without taking risks before and after surgery. Ask for therapy before surgery to stay in shape keep core muscles strong and stay strong while waiting. Walking is useful and aqua therapy as well as zero gravity Tredmill are very good to help hips and gentle on OA  joints.This will help prepare you for a good recovery after surgery. 

    Check with the hip joint replacement area and many like myself have had hip joint replacement surgery due to OA and will offer lots of good experienced helpful positive tips.
