There has been several posts on some of the boards the last couple of days about the risk of dying through hip surgery!
Thats not really what I want to think about!
Apparently there is a risk of 1/200 will die through a complication-jeez thats a scary thought!
I am really trying to focus on the fact that 199 out of the 200 are absolutely fine, but I'm having a hard time convincing myself. I knew that there were risks involved, obviously, but its something that you can put to the back of your mind, until you read it in black and white!
Still, possibly a large part of those statistics are the elderly that have hip replacements, and are not in perfect health anyway , not healthy 'young'( well not really, but I still like to think so) patients.
Gulp!
You have no idea how many times I have gone thru the same thinking process. You will do just fine! You have gone thru it before, you will do it again to tell the tale.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly. I think most of us must have gone through it as some time.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing ok,
