My wife's hip replacement has gone well

Just a heads up for my friends on the board.

Now that they go in from the front recoup time is drastically reduced.
I was up and walking in a matter of days.

The lady I took to the Jr. Prom in 1970 came and visited me for a week last month. She had both her hips replaced and she was doing really well. I took her all over Chicago. The Art Institute, the Zoo, out to see plays and shows and she walked everywhere with no problems. It's a testament to today's medical care. Both of us and her family were thankful that medical care wasn't denied her. Can't imagine her life without it. I don't know if a more full recovery was possible. I'm sure it will be the same for you.

I have never known of a hip replacement that did not work.

During recovery it really hurts though.

Knee replacements on the other hand are about 50-50.

Mine never really hurt that bad.
The worst part is getting use to having one slightly longer leg.
I was tripping over shit for months.

Glad to hear it. I have to wonder, however; how will you ever live with your wife who is now more 'hip' than you?

That's what she says as well. She's not as happy about the change in pain killers that put her on a respirator.

Allergic reaction?
