hip surgery

As I have posted earlier while in Yuma this year I had problems with my hips. Lots of pain. came back home and went to Dr and he found hips were bone on bone. said I should have done the operation last year so need to do asap. then he said I need to make sure my heart could stand the surgery. after a month fighting a cold and passing out in the Dr's office and going to ER by ambulance I finally got in for my angygram done today. he told me I will need stents later this year and the good new is I can go and get my hip surgery done. I will call the Dr tomorrow and get it done. sure took a load off my mind.
  • I got 1 new hip about 2 months ago, as everyone has told me, I should not have waited so long! I get a "new" knee June 23rd, I can't wait!
    Good luck with yours!
  • Sounds as if your hip pain saved your life! Good luck and a speedy recovery to you :)
  • Glad to hear things are progressing for you, old guy. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.
  • I've had both replace, the pain before hand was severe. Good luck. Rehab with gusto and you'll recover and be up and about soon. To bad your not in Yuma, the Yuma rehab hospital is top shelf!
