That's probably why you are reading this now. And you have a lot of hip pain. You're not sure what's causing it. And you're not really sure what, if anything, can be done about it. And because it's already pretty severe, you suspect it won't get better on its own. So you know that, sooner-or-later, you'll have to do something about it. But what? You've heard about hip surgery-but that whole idea seems kind-of scary. You don't even want to think about having surgery if you can help it. But how much longer can you "help it?" You know you will have to decide to do something. Perhaps you've stumbled onto this book for a good reason: inside is all you need to know to make the right decision. And it's not written by a surgeon, or a hospital, or a prosthesis company-or anyone else who will profit from your decision. It's written by a man, Dan Junot, a retired licensed mental health professional, and former clinical director for a hospital based urological clinic, who--himself--suffered seven years with severe hip pain before deciding to have total hip replacement surgery-not once, but twice (right and left hips). Dan wrote this short, easy to read text ... free of medical "big-words." What it is "big on" is truth. It is a realistic account of his actual experience-everything-both the good and the bad. Nothing is spared. What you need now is factual information to help you decide how to deal with your pain. Not sales tactics. Dan's account of his experiences are based upon his contemporaneous notes plus his own color illustrations of the surgical process, as well as a modestly depicted, photographic record of his incisions and healing. Armed with this knowledge, you will have the tools needed to make a sound decision as to whether or not total hip replacement surgery is for you. Don't kid yourself; don't think that you already know the answer, because you probably don't have enough factually based knowledge to make an informed decision, just yet. But, spend some time with this book, and you will learn the things that you will need to know to successfully plan your own future. Things that could determine whether your future ends up a painful or a pleasant one ... one with limited mobility or one with enhanced freedom of motion ... a future with a physically restricted lifestyle or one with almost no limitations. But, be sure to take time to consider your options now-before it's too late. If you wait ... your health could decline and treatment options along with it. Then you could be really stuck with hips that become progressively more painful and problematic. Let this journal be your personal guide, a handbook-if you will-to plotting a course of action towards eliminating your pain, taking back control of your life, and once again being able to enjoy simple, day-to-day, routine activities. All that you need to know to make the right decision, and rid yourself of that incessant pain, is an investment of a few hours reading. That sounds like a good deal-a mighty good deal! "I wish there had been something like this for me," says Dan. "But, there wasn't-so I wrote it. To help you! Now it's in your hands: the key to getting on with your future. Best Wishes!"
