I had a full hip replacement 18 months ago. This was done with an epidural and sedation (I didn't want to know what was going on) I was fine and now walk, run and dance without any problems.

There are others ways to have this operation other than anesthetic which are very successful. The most important thing is to do the exercises and physio afterwards.

Love to you and all the luck in the world to your dad

Great news - once you have seen your dad I am sure you will feel loads better - and then you can get some well deserved sleep.
Love Mary xx

Thats great news so pleased for you and your dad
as SueMaid said onwards and upwards x

Onwards and upwards from here, Glenda. Have a good rest because he'll have you running around after him in no time.

Hi all, and again thank you to everyone for your replies and good wishes I am overwelmed by your responses.

Dad is out of surgery and now in ICU. Spoke to him not long ago, and although a bit groggy...sounds ok.

My prayers have been answered.... or maybe is it his strong scottish ancestry that has pulled him through!!!

Feeling so lost for words.....

Hi girlfromoz, just adding my hugs to those from my friends suemaid, berona, carolee from one board and purple sparkly from another.
A hip replacement is a BIG operation, but if the doctors think his heart can cope it would be nice to see him getting around more comfortably in the future.
Best wishes to you and your dad, Colin in Sydney.

Hoping all is well and your father is recovering well.

Hi hope you are ok time seems to drag when you are waiting on news doesnt it
but im sure your dad will be ok he is over the first hurdle which is good news
wishing you and your dad the best let us know how he is
stay strong x

If he is happy to have the operation, then let him go for it. He must have the right attitude........Although 80 is a fair age for an op, I'm sure the doctors would refuse to do it if they thought he wouldn't come through it. Think of the Queen Mother!

Let us know how he gets on, will you? Wishing you both all the best.

Hi Girl from Oz, no news is good news so try not to worry and hopefully your Dad will be up and about again in the next few weeks, with medication to sort his heart problem out too. Just the right time for recuperation with summer coming for you if he is in your neck of the woods.
Am sending lots of positive thoughts to you both

Thank you everyone for your hugs and kind words.

Sorry I haven't come back to you earlier, went to bed to try and get some sleep...didn't work!!!

They decided to go ahead with the surgery, he will be in intensive care afterwards...so now I am just sitting by the phone.....and waiting.

He's been in surgery for almost 5 hours now.
