Miss Ruby Tuesday- "My Hip Replacement Surgeries"

My little slideshow of what led up to my 1st and 2nd Hip Replacement surgeries... you will also see a few pics from the surgeries and the X-Rays of my New Titanium Hips! :) http://www.missrubytuesday.com

Yes- It was scary and it was rough and there are some serious risks involved regarding dislocation and infections- but- all in all- it was worth it!
No- I Can't run... but indeed -I can walk! :) - ANYBODY who needs this surgery should put those fears aside and have it done!

[akamissrubytuesday]

@502raymond your not able to walk yet???? wow- I would think your doctor would be testing the parts... perhaps you need to be doing the physical therapy to build the muscle around the parts... Call your Doctor & inquire why your not able to walk. Best wishes to ya.

Hi-- I had my right side done in Oct, and the left done in Feb. I am feeling better every day, but like you I love to dance. My therapist kind of bummed me out last week when she told me about the things I should NEVER do again. I have been an equestrian for most of my life and she made it sound like riding horses was much too risky a prospect. How do you deal with these questions? Right now I feel like I'll never be able to even bend over safely!!

@gcastroism - thanks for the advice... I've had em over 3 years now & I may not be able to dance as I once did... but- I'm loving the ability to dance... the trick is rebuilding the muscle surrounding the titanium (which as a dancer can be done fairly easily) & to NOT break the "Rotation Limitation" rule. - I do my push-ups & krunces daily plus the my plie's other leg exercises daily too.... as long as I don't fall or do something stupid like try to ride a bike or run or jump-= I'm good. ;-D

sweethart, I would not do any dancing unless you want to have many more surgeries. Those implants dont last too long if you push it. Good luck
