The Start of Something Good?

Today I started the road to a total hip replacement. I have had problems with my hip for a few years now and have finally decided it is time to take the plunge. With our daughter planning her wedding for August of this year, and if I want to dance at her wedding I really need to fix my hip.

I had my pre-op appointment today as well as my chest x-ray, lab work and visit with the nurse educator. I am going to blog about the whole experience so others can know what to expect. As I began my online search for information about personal experiences with a hip replacement I was very interested in how their recovery progressed and think others may be interested in mine.

Interestingly, they found I had a bladder infection today. I am totally shocked as I am symptom free and wonder if I will feel differently as I start my medication. Who knew, maybe my tiredness and aching were all a side effect to the bladder infection.

Not sure when or what my next blog will be in relation to the hip surgery, it will all depend on whatever happens that is blogworthy (new made up word?).
