What a year! My husband had both hips replaced at the age of 53/54. Recovery is hard at first, but the work is worth it. He was Transformed from a grumpy old man, to YMCA Step aerobics teacher! Get into a good rehab program for the first month or so/ we thought we could handle it a home... we were wrong.Go to Rehab!! For prostate cancer try Essiac Tea from Canada, to help heal. And Breathe. the stress of everything very hard to handle. Best wishes with your surgery!
