New hip finally scheduled.

[Llynn]

I won't bore you with the details but since last November I've had replacement of my left hip scheduled and cancelled multiple times. Today I got a call saying the State is allowing hospitals to once again perform elective surgery and I am one of the first scheduled to be operated on - in late May.

Since it has been some months since my surgeon last performed a hip job I'm hoping he still has his skill set. If I see him walking into the OR with a copy of "Hip Surgery for Dummies" under his arm.......I'm speaking up.

LOL. Also speak up if you ask him if he's a little rusty & he answers: "Don't worry; I reviewed the instruction manual, but the hospital is short on sterilization equipment, so I'm soaking all my instruments in Bourbon."

Well, as long as he's not soaking himself in bourbon.....

@Llynn Good luck with your replacement, hope things go well for you.

Good luck. I hope your surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery.

Ask if he is doing a front approach, a front approach is harder for him, but recovery is faster for you.

@Llynn I hope your surgery goes smooth and you recover swiftly.

Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.
