Doc says I have arthritis and fluid on the right knee. Now it's over to the ortho to discuss treatment options.

@dauphin87 Good luck!! I just had both hips replaced via the new surgery, and, though full recovery takes a long time (like to be able to do yoga, etc.), I’m so glad I did it!! I had no idea how bad off I was until I had both hips replaced.

@LindaGoodliffe I meant to ask you. You had both hips replaced? Simultaneously or separate surgeries?

@dauphin87 I had the left hip replaced Jan. 10th, 2023, and the right hip replaced Feb. 28th, 2023. I stayed overnight in the hospital both times, and I’m glad I did. That first night pain can get intense, so don’t let them do outpatient.

@LindaGoodliffe thank you!

@dauphin87 You’re welcome!! It’s a scary thing to face joint replacements, I know. I was crushed at first, but now I’m just disappointed I’m not the bionic woman. I feel like that should be an option at this point. 😂

@LindaGoodliffe That's so encouraging!
