Very, very scared to have knee surgery and hip surgery

There is nothing unusual about the questions you asked and I'm glad you're finding another surgeon. Sounds like you need your knee and hip replaced. Those are very common procedures. Success depends on doing physical therapy BEFORE and AFTER surgery. Ask the surgeon about this. I did it and had both knees replaced this year with great results. I'm a 67 y/o male andI got in great shape for the surgeries and followed all the post-op instructions.
Keep us posted and all the best!

I'm not sure if I mentioned that the next-to-the-last surgeon I saw threw me out of his office (not literally but definitely told me to find someone else) because I asked him if his eye was ok because it was bloodshot. He got upset with that question and told me to leave because he said I was insinuating that he wouldn't do a good job. Oh, well. I'm glad I found another surgeon. 🙂 I was so scared anyway, the surgeon that did the job made me feel confident even though he didn't spend much time with me. I think by that time I was played out and anyway his reputation on healthgrades was wonderfully high.
