Welcome Aboard Welcome Resumepro,
The pain will get less and less as the days progress. I went through 2 hip replacements in less than a year apart and trust me I know the pain you are going through. Just keep asking for the pain relievers they do help a lot and you will not have such a hard time with rehab.
I am looking forward to seeing you at the fishing seminar in January along with mboy I don't know it fishfinder is going but it will be great to meet you all.
Again Welcome Aboard.
Paul
