Will be off and on mostly off for a while

Hey guys, I know some of you already know about this but some do not. I will be having hip repair surgery soon and will be down and out for a while. Something that has to be done, hip replacement was the prognosis but I am too young to get that right now since they only last about 20 years, so hip repair should postpone that for 10 to 15 years if all goes well.

Seems the good news just keeps coming. Anyways, just wanted you to know where I am in case you dont see me on.

best wishes on the surgery. My brother had to have knee replacement 2 yrs ago this month, he waited as long as he could too. GL

Good luck with the surgery and hopefully they have something better in ten year that will make the hip surgery last longer. Keep us posted.

You're going to be in a lot of pain for a while, but the important thing is take the pain meds every 4 hrs as prescribed and really attack the physical therapy to get your motion back. When I had my knee done the dr told me to concentrate on getting the motion back within 3 wks and then I could build strength the rest of my life if I wanted.....now I can squat or kneel with no pain....never did work on the strength tho....lol. Don't just do the p.t. 2 or 3 times/day....do it all the time you can stand it.

Thanks everyone. Yes I know about physical rehab. Did it for my knees, now the hip however that is something I am having a hard time wraping my head around for motion. Well we shall see, I will push it till I can not push no more, got to get back to good fishing health. Just got to find out when they want to do the surgery now. And thank you all for the well wishes and prayers, probably going to need them to stay positive.
