Hip Replacement: How Did Preparations For Surgery And Recovery Affect Your Successful Outcome?

Bobette:

When I looked back at the total preparation I was impressed from beginning to end. I was impressed with the speed that Dr. McFerran set things up to relieve the discomfort that I was having. I was impressed with the hip replacement class which prepared me for what I might expect in the hospital, how my day might go in the hospital, how my recovery might go in the hospital, and what I might think about and what I needed to prepare to go home; picking up the throw rugs and getting a cheer that was raised so that I was not bending to sit. All of those things I was prepared in advance so that it just flowed. It just felt like it was a natural process. I knew what it was expected of me and I was prepared to do it.

The thing that was the most important to me was that they told me beforehand what I could expect and what I was going to need to do and that was so helpful to me. I can’t begin to tell you how helpful that was. I think you are always anxious when you are in the hospital. You don’t know what is expected of you. You don’t know what to expect and so they made that very comfortable and so that it was a process that was easy, and I have told several people that that was probably the most important thing was preparing me for what was going to happen so that I wasn’t caught by surprise.
