4. I've had a grandmother that had her hips done.

No big deal up and around in no time. Very little pain.
My MIL had her hips done. Same thing.
My dad had 1 knee replaced. Not a big deal. 2nd knee replaced. Fucking brutal, man.
My mom had her shoulder replaced, again just brutal.

Should hopefully put things in perspective. Especially since Booshy (slang for Busha, polish/american for grandma) was in her 70's. And my crazy ass mother in law was in her mid 60's.

You're gonna be fine, man. Just fine. And yeah, I'm sending out good vibes as we speak. Good luck, baby. God luck. And here's to speedy recovery!
