I guess your mom is out of recovery and loving the morphine drip by now. I hope she didn't get ill from the anesthsia (I hate that word I can never spell it )

I'm due for 2 lovely hip replacements. I have a few friends who've had knee replacements. They say it's a rough battle, worse than the hips, BUT if you do everything the therapists say, obey all the rules, grit your teeth, you'll be skateboarding before ya know it.

I hope your mom has a quick and easy recovery!!! I don't think moms should be allowed to get sick!
