Hip Replacement Date

WhitbyWanderer

Hi everyone,

I've finally got my date through for my hip replacement which is the 25th October, I'm so excited and looking forward to a normal life again. However, as I am widowed, living alone with no children I will be relying on the help of friends and neighbours when I come home and was wondering if anyone can give me an idea as to what to expect and if anyone else has been in the same situation. I'm sure the hospital will provide me with plenty of information but nothing beats having help from people who will have experienced managing alone.

Thank you
