A week ago today I had a total hip replacement. Wow, this has been an experience. I had no idea what I was in for. At one time I thought why can't they do them both at the same time and get it over with ha ha ha., right. The first week has been a bitc* and I must add quite hard on my wonderful wife as well. It seems to get a little better everyday though and I have been told I am doing well. They say the first week or so is the hardest. Ill feel much better when I can get up and down by myself though. For anyone looking at having this done I say go ahead. I had unrealistic expectations but it is not the worst thing I have ever been through. It isnt anything you want to put off over being afraid and I have been told the results are great. I actually have no pain in my hip, just muscles and tendons that need to be stretched out, I know i am rambling but really wanted to say thanks for the advice I got here and to encourage those making the decision for themselves...God Bless
