My hip-replacement surgery went very well, and I am home! (Yes, they send you home the same day.) More soon…

I am very behind on checking my emails, so please forgive how late this response. is. I am so glad to hear it went so well, and hope recovery is progressing just as smoothly!

My mom had a hip replacement, and she went from "could barely walk, even with a cane" to "doing yardwork and taking long walks like it was nothing" in a matter a couple months. The best of luck to you!

My wife had both hips done nearly twenty years ago (two years apart). In the time between the first and the second hip, the incision went from 6 inches to 2, and the recovery was much shorter. No guarantee, but with robotics and natural progression of technique, I suspect you will have a good outcome -- and one that is long overdue.

Being 3 months into recovery & rehab for tibia fracture, I'm here to say, "you GOT this!". Pain that feels productive isnt as bad - just tiring. Masks in medical offices feel a bit safer. Take care of yourself & go slow. Treats are very much allowed. Thinking good thoughts.
