Hey ! Thanks for posting in my Hip Replacement thread as well ! I think there’s a lot of benefit to having TWO Dopers walk (ha) this path at the same time so I hope both threads stand on their own here (ha again).

Which kind of procedure did you have? Anterior? Posterior? Star?

Hydrate up !! It’ll help flush out the stuff making you dizzy. One day at a time !!! 🙂

Cross-link to the thread I opened up on my surgery.
