[QUOTE="Sondar, post: 85731, member: 4160"] Janet, this is strictly experiential ... my husband had both hips replaced within a year and wishes he had done it sooner. He had a combo of arthritis and years of pounding on the pavement (basketball and a runner). He is in no pain now and feels like a million bucks. But here's the caveat that made me want to respond to you. Physically he was in excellent shape. Given your other health issues, can your doctor tell you realistically what rehab would look like? I think that will be the key to your success, how hard can you work on it after the surgery has done its part? We were just talking about this because a friend had hip replacement in July and has really struggled. husband finally admitted to me he was in pain during the rehab but he pushed through it because he wanted so badly to get back on his feet and back in the classroom. Good luck with this big decision. [/QUOTE]
