Francine describes why she decided to blog about her hip replacement and if it helped in her recovery.

Francine:
Well, they make you get up on the same day, and let me tell you something, I actually started a blog before my hip replacement because I was annoyed with the way the hospital treated me and I was really afraid that I would get a staph infection in the hospital or that I wouldn’t be able to get nursing care. And I realized that, if I was blogging and I was out on the Internet that people would, I wouldn’t be lost in the shuffle of anything, that people I knew would be reading my blog and I could get help from the outside if I needed it.

I mean, It may sound crazy, but all of those things really help, and on the day of the surgery I took my BlackBerry into the operating room with me, and I had it in the recovery room. And I began blogging in the recovery room, and I am not sure I made a whole lot of sense, but I went back and read it, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

And that really made me feel like, "Oh good, this is over; I am blogging," because I had blogged before and I was like, "You know what, I did not lose any brain cells. I am awake; part 1 is over. You know, I am on the pain drugs, and now the next step, get off those, you know."
