• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

-Dont get behind on your pain meds. Even if you think you can tough it out, staying on top of it for the first couple days seemed to make a huge difference for me. Even waking up to take them. Take the prescription and then in between doses take ibuprofen

How true. A person I know used to work for a pain MD. The MD told them it was easier to keep the pain away that it was to get it to leave after it arrives.

Have some Colace ready for the constipation you will get from the hydrocodone or oxycodone they give you.

Well LAC, going in first thing Monday AM for my hip replacement. Doctor tells me he will have me walking out of the hospital about 6 hours post surgery. Sounds too good to be true, but he claims my proper eating habits and routine exercise regimen will pay dividends for me and I won't have to stay overnight in the hospital. Here's to hoping he's correct. I'm 50 and have yet to spend the night in a hospital as a patient. I'd like to keep the streak alive.

Any tips some of you other olds can share with me who have been through this would be appreciated. Do's and dont's and things you wish you had been aware of prior to surgery.

Also, high dose oxycodone somehow affects your ability to sense bladder fullness. Almost pissed myself a few times. Keep the walker close by.

My 78 yr old Mother has had both hips done in the last 2 years. Her last one was about 2 months ago. She walked out and was pretty much 100% in 6 weeks.

This was one of my biggest issues and reasons for divorce from my ex wife who had boys

If you aren’t their parent then you shouldn’t be parenting them.

In fact parents shouldn’t remarry until their kids are fully grown and moved out if they have a split. If people can’t keep their first family and marriage together the last thing the need is a second family and marriage to further complicate things. Parents make a commitment to those children when they choose to have them and when they put their own selfish desires first, like wanting to remarry, they are breaking that commitment.
