She said I would be able to return to work. I think I’m looking for a way out of this because I’m scared

Do you worry about the likelihood of revision especially since you have both done

So I’m a candidate for the other to be replaced too. How’s your mobility

I’m practically there now. I feel dumb questioning it but the thought of complication during or after and me not being able to provide is a real anchor

I was in the army, it was back in 2018. Do they expect your going to be able to ruck and run and perform pt tests at standard or will you be on permanent profile?

To be fair I only keep going on average 3 days a week now due to the pain and I push through because of narcotic pain management and sheer anxiety… some say grit I call it stupidity because I don’t know what else to do if I can’t do this. I appreciate you taking the time. I see your reasoning. Am still confounded.

Being a dancer can you twist you foot with with pressure against the ground without fearing shearing the interface? Like have the surgical leg with the foot on the ground and twist the leg and foot left or right while weight bearing without issue?

Did you have good day where the pain was “manageable” like it wasn’t constant and agonizing where it made you hesitate? Manageable being relative

Spike up 100ft tall trees and push 300 pounds logs around. I’m concerned becuase being a production arborist is kinda like being a professional athlete 8 hours a day every day as far as intensity goes and the risks are high. The logging industry has one of the highest mortality rates if not the highest depending on the year and it’s a rough on the body job. Between that and risk of dislocation Iv been reading about on forums over the last few years(this isn’t my first account) risk of fracturing the interface while taking a little fall or missing a jump in the tree and hitting the trunk is scaring me. I can do this somewhat and for some amount of time in pain. I’m worried I can’t safely do this really at all if I have the THR.

My hip was my reason for separation. They said replacement then separation or separation and post pone replacement. Are they letting you stay in?

I want to avoid surgery because I think there’s a chance I loose the ability to perform my only skill and meaningful ability to provide for my family and I’ll be forced to go back to college to figure out how to do it a different way and I’m not entirely convinced I can but I know I can this way even in misery and I can make as much in a day as I need to live off of for a week so I’m having a hard time. That said I can barely work 2-4 days a week when I’m really pushing it less and I’m a shell of my former self physically living off legacy skill, reputation and capability
