Hi Mike, I got a call this morning canceling my op which should have been tomorrow after stressing for weeks I'm now so disappointed as I just want to get on with it. You get prepped and I wish you well for tomorrow, keep us posted with your recovery X

Ann,
Sorry to hear about your postponement...there IS so much work in getting everything ready, that would be a bummer. But I'm a big believer in things happen for a reason, so let's hope the next date is the perfect date to get the best result.

Well I lived to tell about it. Surgery seems to have gone really well, my legs are much closer to being the same length again.
But I do have a bad case of neausia from all the meds, so post op hadn't been a piece of cake. But I know this will pass.
Good luck Lulu!!!! Praying for you!

Believe it or not, I did the surgery as an out patient. Surgery was 6:30am, and I was out at 3pm. If it wasn't for the neusea I would have left earlier. One of the nurses said I looked green. 😃
So they ended up giving me a patch behind my ear, and that helped. It's now day 3 and no more problems.
I'm really sore waist to knee, but today was better than yesterday and I made hoping for that to continue. The waiting is the hardest part.

You'll have to change your name to Clarke Kent to go through it as an outpatient is brilliant , hope you've got support at home and continue to recover quickly. X

Yeah , I'm lucky and have my brother and his family close by and I'm staying at his place for a week. I'm a divorced Dad if a 10 year old who is staying with his Mom for the first two weeks.
My first one was at a proper hospital and I stayed over night. but I'm 54 and relatively healthy so they gave me the choice.

Wow as an outpatient that's amazing! Sorry to hear you felt sick it's not nice, glad to hear you have lots of help at home too, I was discharged this afternoon so pleased to be back home.
Good Luck with your recovery.

There's no place like home...someone said a long time ago! I'm glad things went well for you, and everyday things do get a little better.
Day 2 - no neasea
Day 3 - managed a few steps started PT
Day 4 - feel stronger, operated leg can bear more weight, but still not full weight. Swelling is increasing...which is exactly when this happened last time, so no worries I know it's normal.
I always try to push it to the point of pain, flexibility/strength comes back slowly but surely
