Thank you for your response. I find myself very frightened about the recovery process and the future. I worry about infections to the implants, dislocations, and pain that doesn't resolve. I wish I could videos of people recovering from simultaneous hip replacements & folks with how it's going years later. I have seen videos with just one hip replaced at a time. I think I am in denial that I have this problem. I have been doing exercises to strengthen hip and knee muscles that have been helping. I keep thinking maybe I don't need surgery.my family feels differently.
