| 1391558 | 2015-01-05 23:38:00 | Hi everyone, Just had my new titanium hip joint installed yesterday at Rotorua Hospital. Quite sore, but am drugged up ok. Maybe going home on Thursday! They kick you out as soon possible these days . LL |

| 1391559 | 2015-01-05 23:41:00 | Hope you get better soon. These days the health system seems to like going to a drive thru. If you die of complications later at home it's not their fault.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1391560 | 2015-01-06 00:17:00 | Yeah, the faster you get moving the better your chances, lessens blood clots, and being active shortens your recovery time. Just make sure your dressings stay clean and replaced regularly if you have the conventional ones. | PPp (9511) | ||
| 1391561 | 2015-01-06 00:33:00 | Best wishes for a speedy recovery LL. After my recent gall bladder op (open surgery as it was gangrenous), I had the District Nursing Service visit to change dressings and check on healing etc. Marvellous women and a marvellous service. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1391562 | 2015-01-06 01:13:00 | All the best LL. 2.5 years since I had mine done. My surgeon asked if I wanted the joint kept to use as a gear stick head? :) :) Ken |

| 1391563 | 2015-01-06 01:50:00 | Get on with your exercises! :) It really does help. Oh - and keep the pain relief up so you can do them, and go walking too... And mind the hip precautions. It is much better to avoid a dislocation than to cope with all the phaffle if it happens. A hip replacement is really a very good fix - makes such a difference to your life. Pleased to hear it has happened for you. |

| 1391564 | 2015-01-06 02:11:00 | Best wishes Lady. Hope my head replacement goes equally well; though they do say the transplant involves Igor's discernment. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1391565 | 2015-01-06 02:47:00 | Quick recovery LL. | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1391566 | 2015-01-06 03:15:00 | I was told they use ceramic now. I was also told I don't qualify as can walk 300m, touch my toes mostly, only needed help a few times to put on socks etc.... Anyway, fine with me, I would rather avoid it as long as I can |

| 1391567 | 2015-01-06 03:55:00 | You will find that the hip operation is worthwhile in the long run. I have seen people go for physiotherapy after the operation. Seeing the improvement over a number of weeks makes it all worthwhile. | Bobh (5192) | ||
