I'm back home...minus one original hip and plus a new metal on metal hip. I have a 40mm metal ball which is supposed to be fairly good sized according to my surgeon. That was just what I was looking for.

I can't believe how much better I IMMEDIATELY felt getting out of the hospital. The food was horrible and I was naseaous the whole time. I'm back in my home now and I'm out of it with an extremely sore leg but I am feeling pretty good considering.

I believe the soreness is the muscle and soft tissue that was shoved around to get my old hip out and the new one in. My surgeon avoided cutting muscle or tendon to make this happen.

It's like having a new toy...except I won't be able to play with it for a few months. :)
