46. My best wishes for you. A full replacement? Wow. At least the technology is far improved

vs. that when my great grandmother went for one decades ago (and she did fine). As I said, the technology and doctor skills are far improved over those long ago days, but still, when you're the one under the knife, it's a different animal. My best to you all, during the surgery AND afterwards, during the recovery period. I had a friend go through a similar procedure (but not the hip, the knee) and they were up and about it in literally a day or so. He said that the docs wanted him to immediately move about, start using it.

My prayers for you all, for the surgery and afterwards, AND you all, during this difficult period of time for you. Pls. continue to let us know how things go.
