Comment on You can't act fabulous after a hip surgery.

  She won’t be able to for quite some time because she just got a knee replacement! When I drove over to the town where my mother lives (for other reasons) I came by to pick up something for my daughter and my mom met me outside and told me her housemate was in so much pain that she hadn’t slept all night and had finally fallen asleep. This was around 3 pm. I feel bad for the lady and I’m now wondering if she’s going to go through with the hip replacement if the knee replacement has been this hard on her. She’s in her 70s and her mother is still alive in her 90s, so hopefully she’s got a lot of years to go. I hope it all helps.

  Crazy part: She lives upstairs and my mom lives downstairs. They agreed to not change bedrooms. The housemate is planning on getting up and down the stairs sitting down.
