Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Good luck Gayle. I didn't care too much for the surgery and recovery, but now 6 months post op (both hips) I am a new person! I am pain-free and happy! In fact today is the first time I did the complete weekly grocery shopping since last March! My husband had taken it over for me while I was recovering, and then decided he liked it. But I did the shopping myself today, walked around the store without pain ... only thing is I spent about $30 more than he usually does ... so I may have lost the grocery shopping job afterall October 31st Bilateral Knee Replacements happening hey guys, please be praying and thinking about me on Monday, 10/31, as i will be finally be getting both my knees replaced.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 You got it Gayle, your name's on my list. When you wake up, that tearing, grinding pain will be gone. Only healing pain to deal with, and it will be such a blessing. Hang on! It is going to be glorious.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I had one at a time and envy those of you brave enough to do them both at the same time. Good thoughts and prayers winging their way to both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
