Knee/Hip replacement

[Medjugorje]

HiI have Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and recently underwent revision hip surgery and am awaiting revision surgery on both knees. So personally I looked at all the positives & negatives and decided that by having the surgery my quality of life would improve. With both knees and my right hip causing me a great deal of pain along with IPF life was becoming sedentary. I knew I had to exercise my lungs so after looking at the pluses and minuses I decided to go for the hip operation this will be followed by knee operations early spring God willing.

Talk to your family & consultant surgeon looking at the negative and positive outcomes. Try to be positive. For me I can visualize all the activities I used to do but by having the surgery this coming summer I plan to do some minor activities that will help with my breathing. I hope this helps we all make choices it's about making the positive choice that is best for you.

What a great attitude you have Medjugorje, facing 3 surgeries is daunting but your positivity will see you through. Just think when its all over you will be like superwoman. Good luck x

Hope I'm not like superwoman if I am then I've had the wrong surgery 😂
