My mother is having hip replacement surgery today.
She's very nervous about it.
If there's any purrs down the back of the lounge or in last year's coat
pockets that you could spare, I'm sure Mum would appreciate them (as would
I).
I'd also like to hear from anyone who has had hip replacement surgery. We're
all hoping that this will return her life to the active vital one she once
had not so long ago - because her hips were so bad she has been a virtual
invalid for hte last year or so. it was very depressing just to see such a
strong fiesty woman (who was considered for Olympic grade discus once) being
so crippled by pain, and I really hope that this does the trick.

Purrs for your Mum and you!
I haven't had such surgery, but people I know who have had it say that
it made a huge positive difference to their lives - nothing short of
miraculous.

Absolutely! We're sending our best purrs.
My younger brother had hip replacement several years ago. It initially
worked wonders for him. The fact that it only worked for him for a year or
so is not due to the hip replacement, but due to the fact that his bones
are dieing. That is, however, NOT the fault of the hip replacement!
Just make sure that she doesn't try to get up and around until the doc
tells her she can. Trying to move around too soon can be very painful!

RRRRRRRR!!! for aching hips! Joint replacement surgery does hurt, but
the eventual results are worth it. My mom had knee surgery in March,
and for the first 3 months she was groaning and cursing. But when she
hit the three month mark, she realized how much better off she was. I
wish your mother a trouble free recuperation period.

Purrs on their way for your Mum. Hip replacements are a big job, but I
understand from people who've had them that they're worth the effort.

Nope, no old purrs hidden away anywhere, but here are a batch of
spanking fresh ones, just for your mum! I hope it goes very well and
that she can lead an active happy life again.

Purrs en route.
At around age 79 my mother had a hip done and it gave her a new lease of
life, even though she had little bone left to put the new ball into. I
expect your mum will do even better.
Purrs again

Purrs for your mum to come through the surgery with flying colors. I
haven't had the surgery, but my FIL did back in the '60's. He got
along fairly well, and would have gotten along much better if he had
listened to the doctor and did the prescribed exercises.
Purrs and Hugs,
Nan and the furkids

I'm probably late with our surgery purrs but we're sending purrs and
headbutts to your mom for a speedy recovery. I've heard a lot of really
great success stories surrounding hip replacement surgery so we're
hoping that she is one of those stories very soon.

Good luck to your mum. A friend of mine had it about five weeks ago, and
although she can't drive or walk very far yet, she can get out and about.

Purrs coming over for your mum, particularly don't panic purrs. It isn't a
nice operation (what is??) and the rehab afterwards can be painful, but
everyone I know who's had it done say it's worth it for the freedom from
pain and very much increased mobility afterwards.
Good luck to your mother.

You got it, Yowie. Purrs for your mum on the way.
Don't know anyone who has had hip replacement surgery, but my MIL has
had knee replacement surgery. I could ask her if that has improved
things for her if it would help.

Purrs for everything to go (or have gone) smoothly and for your Mum to make

pain. And a couple of purrs for you, too.
