Here we go again!

Y'all have prayed for my family on several occasions and here I am asking for your prayers again.
It's time for the right hip joint to be replaced

, the Doc had to replace the left knee in June in order for me to be able to support the new hip

. Had to tell folks I went to the doctor 'cause my hip was aching and he replaced my knee

. He assured us today, the hip replacement recovery is a lot easier than the knee rehab and I should be able to be back in the deer woods sometime in late January.
Hospital stay is probably 3 or 4 days, if all goes well.
Please keep Miss Joy and me in your prayers while we go through another hard place. Knowing others are praying for our needs certainly makes the road a lot smoother as we travel along holding on to the Great Physician's Hand.

I am adding you to my prayer list right now Phil!
They told me the hips are much easier than the knees.
I will have to have my right knee done next year, but thank the Lord, no hips yet!
I will keep you & Miss Joy in my prayers Phil.
God will get you through this ASAP!

Sounds funny, fix the opposite knee first, but actually your Dr is purty smart
While the right hip is healing/recovering, you will favor that side....meaning you will walk, stand,
and generally put more stress on your left side. Having not done things in this order would
have really had you miserable .. .. ... ....
Good Luck and fast recovery. You'll be dancin' the Watusi in no time

Phil, You're on my prayer list. My wife is having her first hip replacement in early Jan. so we just went through the introduction class on what to expect. Her operation will be a constant reminder to be praying for you too. Dave

Cuz, we may not hear from him until he gets out of the hospital (He said 3 or 4 days, barring complications.) (and rehab? He didn't mention that but they do it with knees.). I don't recall him ever saying anything about a tablet or smart-phone.

Phil didn't say when he was going in the hospital for the hip surgery did he?
I didn't see it is original post. If anybody hears from him please update us.
And keep the prayers going for Phil!

Howdy Boys! I have a new hip, they put it in yesterday afternoon. Waiting on the therapy people to come by and stand me up. So far so good, thanks for the prayers! Miss Joy brought her lap top so I could check things out. Don't have any idea about going home yet, supposed to be quicker than the knee job back in June.
Y'all have a great day.

That's funny Josh. I had a similar experience. I went in for what I thought was to be brain surgery. Ended up getting hemorrhoid surgery. True story.
