This isn't a question, but hopefully I will, over the next few weeks and months, be able to provide answers. I've been in contact with so many of you who have hip fusions and are at the point I've been... having enough problems that you are ready to consider if THR is right for you. I decided it was right for me after my problems got so much worse the past year, and I hope my exeperience might help others so I'm creating an online recovery journal at www.dragonflygarden.com/recovery.html. My surgery is tomorrow morning and I will update the site as I can.
