Patient Story: Barbara from Hagerstown, IN

What was life like before joint replacement?

I was a total mess. I had to rely on a walker before having joint replacement surgery.

What was the moment you knew you needed to move ahead with surgery?

My turning point in deciding to have my joint replaced was when I started falling, and my arms and shoulders couldn't hold me.

What is life like now?

My life is purely wonderful after having surgery. My in-home rehab was great. It is so great to get back my life.

What information do you have that would help others considering joint replacement?

I wish I would have done it sooner, and yes, I have no pain now. I have so many people to be thankful for! THANKS!
