A bullet looked like a viable option. The surgery was successful and I was weaving again at 6 weeks post op. By three months, it was like it never happened!<br /><br />So when my worn out knee was waiting for surgery recently and the other hip started to ache, I swapped joints and got the hip done (Dec '14) first as I knew where it was going and I didn't want to go through that again! Again, it was 6 weeks and 3 months.... although I walked the first day! Surgery at 10 am and I was walking on it at 4 pm (not entirely happy about it but doing it) The knee was finally done this past September.... that's a different story so try not to need one of those okay?<br /><br />So if they tell you that it needs to be done, just do it and you'll not regret it.

Do what they say, take the pain pills as stated above, and hang in there.<br />This time next year, you'll be a happy gal and will do more Spring time things.<br /><br />Keeping you in my thoughts always for relief from the neck/head thing, and healing. Same goes for your hips.<br /><br />You inspire me. Always. Keep it up. I can't afford to lose you as my inspiration!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Roy needs you too.<br /><br />So do those darlin grandkids of yours. <br /><br />Be strong. Oh wait, you already are. <br /><br />I'm just happy to wake up every day and be alive. Yeah, I have to adjust to some pain, go to PT and possibly have a 2nd surgery on my right shoulder, but I survived a heart attack that killed me. Life could be MUCH worse. I'm grateful I get to see my grandbabies, weave, spin and whatever else I feel like doing, and see the sunshine (because eyesight is great). Life is good.<br /><br />MarthaMarthaVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936514662127166756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-57336806718277829452016-03-29T09:48:05.858-04:002016-03-29T09:48:05.858-04:00Although I've had neither (yet), I agree with ...Although I've had neither (yet), I agree with what's been said...everyone I know who had 1 or both assure me that hips are infinitely easier than knees. <br /><br />I, too, find routine aging aches & pains a (excuse the pun) Pain In The Ass, but I keep telling myself that (a) it's normal and (b) better than the alternative, which is being underground. I keep moving, and try not to get frustrated that I can't do as much as I used to, or for as long as I used to.

My father had a hip replacement about 10 years ago and his recovery was amazing. He was back on his four wheeler and horse within 6 months. <br /><br />Your weaving is so beautiful. <br /><br />I hope you have a day filled with joy and serenity. <br /><br />Angela Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483920154677722934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-66259992939163470532016-03-28T23:10:01.151-04:002016-03-28T23:10:01.151-04:00Living in constant pain will get you down.
