I'm "celebrating" RA Awareness month by having hip surgery on the 24th. Yippee...considering the option of continuing with that pain, the unrelenting fatigue & the soreness in my shoulders from using a walker/canes. I'm not getting old gracefully. It's like all of a sudden someone dialed me a whole decade older & now I live in slow-motion. But don't sweat the small stuff, right? Carry on, compadres!

 <inline-mention username="Richard Faust" user-id="3227544"/> I'm having a Right Total Joint Replacement (posterior). I had a long informative pre-op meeting today with the surgeon. She answered my questions & concerns & really improved my attitude. Then my "chauffeur" & I had ice cream cones on the way home as we drove through the gorgeous Oregon scenery.

 Hi <inline-mention username="creativegal" user-id="3241383"/>. Sounds like a pretty good day. I can tell you that Kelly was diagnosed at age two, 45 years ago - before modern treatments, with the damage to show for it. She had both hips and knees done at 15 and 16 respectively. She still has both of those hips and the one knee that needed a revision was due to a different issue - nothing to do with the replacement. And the technology and procedures have only improved since then. We have a lot of people here who have had great success with hip replacements. Please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask questions - this community is here for you. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
