I am feeling the fear already. The book they gave me says “Joint Camp” like it’s gonna be all fun and play? It’s gonna be PAINFUL. Who are they trying to kid? I sure hope I can manage stairs, they don’t let you go home till you can do them and I don’t want to stay any longer than necessary.

your mom is elderly and ti is not, that’s the difference. it is much more difficult for them, i am not surprised they want Ti to go right home to stairs. I was in the hospital with 80 year olds when i had my hips done, believe me, it is very different as far as recovery time.
