Hip Surgery: A Hell that Brings a New Future into Being if You've Got the Guts

JDC Insight Today: One has a choice ... bitch, make excuses, or fight for the chance to enjoy life at any age. Don't let emotions and fears bring you down - you are giving up before you've started.

There are two things critical to successful surgery. One is to select a competent surgeon, who has the experience to know what the "h***" he or she is doing not only in the replacement issues but is good at aligning the legs, which makes therapy, recovery and the ability to walk easier.

Two, therapy is not a game created to torture any patient, but a systematic series of what seems to be insignificant exercises design to strengthen the whole body ultimately affected in the surgery room.

Do you want to walk? So did I. Just do it! Yes it hurts for the first two to three weeks, after which the body enters into the rebuilding process, as flexibility returns and pain subsides.

Amazing how my hip feels and looks no different than before Truly science is amazing with technological advancements. But, the trick was my having the guts to hang in through periods when I wanted to totally give up. The thought of never walking again and the good lord helped me through as well as all the dedicated nurses and CNAs and others who made me feel I was not alone.

For they lifted me up to a new and brighter future.

Good to hear that it worked out for you so well. As a matter of fact many people regained their full mobility after a hip replacement surgery and they are more active then ever. Basically expect of full contact sports there is nothing you cant do after recovery. Walk, run, ride and so on.
Physical therapy is a pain, but is essential. Just keep in mind the goal, remember every day why are you doing this and after a year you'll be grateful for hanging in there.
