The other most important thought is you need to have the hip replaced asap and you indicated in earlier posts that Medicare is around the corner. It sounds like it's taking valuable time out of your life because you can't be as active as you'd like. Line up an excellent physician with many hip replacements already performed and great references. You won't need a houseful of help, recovery is relatively quick and easy unless you have underlying issues. And if we don't win the big prize, good luck to you.  |
One of my old high school classmates is one of the top sports-med surgeons in the country. He's still based out of New Haven county and his ortho group specializes in knee and hip replacements. So I'd just call on him to do it.
I can still be active now, but it's painful. Bone-on-bone arthritis ain't no joke. But I'm hyper-flexible and have what's known as "open hips" so I can still dance, ride my bicycle, sit in the lotus position with relative ease. Walking and sitting like a normal person in a regular chair is hard to do, and lately sleeping is difficult if I roll onto my side.
