It's Going To Be a Different Summer For Me

[ARtraveler]

I finally bit the bullet and decided it's time to do something about my bad hip.

Some of you are aware that I have had to navigate by wheelchair for the last couple years or so. A window of opportunity has opened up at work allowing me to take the required time off.

Just got back from my appointment with the Orthopedic surgeon. A pre-op appointment in about three weeks and then a date will be set for my hip joint replacement surgery. Early May will be the time window.

Downside: Will try to get in a few miles in on :spyder2: before the surgery. Don't know how long I will be off :ani29: due to leg and hip joint movement restrictions.


Upside: I should be able to get my mobility and quality of life back assuming that all goes well.

Thanks for listening. PM's welcomed if you have something medical to say.

The hard part for me, the long and scary wait now that the wheels are in motion.

I had an ankle replaced and the moment I awoke from surgery, I knew I had made the right decision. The pain was gone.

You won't regret having it done. You will regret having waited so long before doing it!

Good luck.
