Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You've just been told you need a hip replacement - and your head is full of questions no pamphlet seems to answer.The clinical guides explain the procedure. They don't tell you what it's like to live through it. Diary of a Hippie does. It's the real, week-by-week journal of one man's total hip replacement: the pain behind the decision, the nervous countdown, surgery day hour by hour, and the slow, honest climb back to walking.Written by a patient - not a surgeon - John Harbour shares the fears, the small victories, and the 'I wish someone had told me' details, alongside the notes that kept him going. It's short enough to finish in a single sitting (you've got plenty on your mind already), and warm enough to feel like a friend who's been through it sitting beside you.Inside, you'll find: - An honest account of what to really expect - before, during, and after hip replacement surgery- Answers to the 3 a.m. question: 'Is this normal, or should I be worried '- How to prepare your body, your home, and your nerves for the day- What recovery actually feels like - and why healing at your own pace is okay- Reassurance for the family and caregivers supporting you, too'A lot of good information that can be very helpful for other patients considering hip replacement or scheduled for the procedure.' - Dr. Geoffrey Westrich, Hospital for Special SurgeryReaders call it 'the one' - the book they wish they'd found before surgery. Whether you're facing your first hip replacement, supporting someone who is, or simply want to know what's coming, Diary of a Hippie turns dread into a plan.
