We'll pray for your fast healing and comfort.
Never had a joint replaced, but I'm no stranger to surgeries. I've had a single digit survival one.
What often helps is to focus on the "after" rather than the surgery. Plan a trip or activity for after the surgery, something to look forward to- both for you and those who care about you. It is important to look after their worries.
Afterwards, every day will get better. No matter how hard one day may be, that just means the next will be that much better!
Right now you have no hope of pain relief for your hip. As of Monday, each day will bring progress and more relief.
Let someone else drive you to the hospital and put them in charge of meeting the schedule. You focus on your "after"
Make sure your soul is right with the Lord and your family knows how much you care about them. Then you can relax, knowing things are in order and will be fine while you recover.
Now...about this laptop in the hospital thing...
You can only read happy posts. No threads about pets, tire pressure, anything with GVW in it, or the word etiquette ;)
Sooo...where are you gonna go after?
