    That's exactly how I felt.  I had a silly moment and almost leapt off the trolley at the last moment but I'm so glad it went ahead.

    I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

    You'll do fine!! I had my thr right side 3-31...and I'm doing really well..I had a direct anterior approach and I was scared out of my mind!! Never had any surgery!! They took me in and started an iv and took me back gave me an epidural and she was poking me with a little pokey thing to make sure I couldn't feel anything..and the next thing I knew I was waking up right when they were finished...the pain after was not like I expected...much less pain...now it's only day 4 after and I almost have no pain! Now I just need to walk straight without being scared and I'm good!! Good luck!! Lizard!!

    Go, Lizard, Go.

    Wishing you all the best in your operation and a speedy recovery.

    To be free of OA pain is just wonderful, believe me.
