    Hi there,

    I can remember how I felt when told this. But honestly it will be the best thing for you.

    Don't forget we are all here to help where we can. You will probably have loads of questions for us. Just ask away.

    If you put 'hip surgery' into Arthritis Care's search engine you'll find their very comprehensive leaflet on it is top of the left side. For me the worst bit is sleeping on my back for 6 weeks. That apart it's all good. Just do your exercises before and after to help the supporting muscles help you.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
