Tomorrow morning I go in for hip replacement surgery. I'm nervous and I hpoe I'll pull through okay. I just want you guys to know that you've all bought me many happy days enjoying this hobby. I look forward to getting back to my old self to enjoy it even more. Thanks for all the great information and the great laughs.
 
I thought you went already! Good luck man, I know it's nerve-wracking but keep thinking about how much better you'll feel after. I just hope your wife doesn't find anything you don't want her to while you're in the hospital...
 
I pray for your doctors and their medical team to have wisdom. I pray they will stay alert. I pray God will give you peace even when you shouldn't have peace. I pray you will be waxing your car before the end of Summer


:autowash:
 
I had a neighbor that had both hips replaced and he was extremely happy with the results. Good luck with your operation.
 
Good luck! Medical technology has come a long way over the years. You'll be buffing in no time flat!
 
Good luck to you!

Well, I know it will be of little comfort because a surgery is a surgery but I can tell you from professional experience that a THR has the fastest recovery of any arthroplasty. Are they doing a bipolar procedure or just a hemi?

In case you are too drugged when they explain it to you, here are the 3 ABSOLUTE "no-no's" post-op.

1) Flexing your hip past 90 degrees
2) Crossing your thighs aka. crossing your legs (crossing your ankles provided the knees are apart is Ok!)
3) Turning your thigh inward. This one gets confusing because they explain it as no internal rotation, but if your knee is bent 90 degrees, your foot goes out which makes you think you are safe... not! if your knee cap is pointing inwards.... you are asking for trouble!

Will pray for you my friend! :dblthumb2:

P.S. Planning on changing your forum name to runwobble411 (I couldn't resist)
 
When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up- The flames will not consume you. Isaiah- 43:2
 
When I read the title I thought your wife found your ag stash hahaha

Good luck man and speedy recovery!
