Re: “If I can sleep and manage the pain then there isn;t any reason to stay at the hospital.”I strongly disagree. You could have a stroke. You could have a heart attack. You could have a drainage tube come out, or internal bleeding. There are all kinds of reasons to have surgery done at the hospital and to stay at least two days. (I'd have advised you not to let them rush you outa there since they're usually inclined to discharge patients earlier rather than later.) Just ask OCU. (Oh, that's right. He's hiding from us.) His surgery was less invasive, not open heart, yet he almost died when he was in the bathroom at the hospital. If he hadn't been in the hospital, hooked up to a monitor, that would have been the end of him.

Here's a question I've used with doctors before. Ask them, "If it were your mother or father, what would you advise them to do?"
That'll make it real for them. If they say they'd recommend doing the surgery on an outpatient basis, then you'll know that the surgery is really not that big of a deal. If they pause or don't want to answer, then you'll know that it is.

You're a big boy. You can make your own decisions. But I really don't understand why you'd have something as serious as hip replacement done on an outpatient basis. I wouldn't agree to that.
