Recent hip replacement anyone? [View all]

I have an appointment tomorrow with my orthopedic doctor and would like suggestions as to what questions/concerns to discuss with him. None of my friends or family members have had this procedure, so I haven't had any 1st hand experiences told to me. I must admit that I'm a little freaked out about this upcoming surgery.
