I know from reading this forum that the surgery has been described as "horrendous" by someone while another described the pain as "insane". Knowing this and what I've read about the surgery and the long, slow recovery period, I wonder if those of you who have had surgery had family members and friends who didn't understand your pain, depression, need for pain meds., etc. I think my mom (83) thinks it will be similar to her hip replacement. I guess my question is, that while one is really recovering as well as should be expected for this major surgery, do those who aren't aware since they do not know anyone else who has had it, think that you aren't doing well, while you're actually right on target (or maybe they think you're a wimp!) I probably won't even care when it's my turn.
