TBD on Ning
Anyone have a hip replacement recently? How did it go?
The right hip started acting up in the fall...progressed to bone on bone with much pain. Scheduled for surgery on July 5. I'm getting around and can (thankfully) still drive, but will be glad when it's all over. My daughter and SIL will come from SoCal to stay with me for a while.

Actually I am having total hip replacement on 9/9. Mine is bone on bone also. Let us know how yours went and good luck.

I am limited by my hips also but am in no hurry to do anything about it now. I have had both knees replaced and am not at all interested in going under the knife again. Too many other health issues to attend to first.

Had the hip replacement on July 5...remarkably easy. I had the Mako robotic with anterior approach. No restrictions except not to cross my leg over the other and no extension to the back (like a lunge), so up and around immediately with a walker, and able to drive by the 12th day post-op, and no PT except to do the exercises on my own as prescribed. So now at almost 6 weeks, I can do anything I need to do...housework, outside stuff ( I do use one of my hiking poles when I'm out in the yard just to be on the safe side). I see the surgeon on 8/16 and expect to be signed off and cleared for anything.
The procedure was outpatient...signed in at 6:30 AM and discharged at 1:05 PM. Needed no pain med after the 5th day.

That's really good news. I'm so glad it worked out so well for you. A true modern miracle of medicine. You get to reclaim your life.

This is great news!! Glad all went well. Mine is cancelled for now as I have an infection in my gums and they won’t do it because they said infection can go into the bloodstream. Hopefully I won’t have to wait much longer. Thanks for sharing.

I had an abscessed tooth that had to be pulled 3 months before surgery, with a course of antibiotics to follow, and I have to wait 3 months post op for any dental work (it will be just cleaning fortunately)
The irony of it all...my previous dentist (retired) said my teeth would outlast me. Oh, well.
