I need Full Hip Surgery

Today, I went downtown to see my future hip surgeon. They took measurements of my legs, rotated it a few times to see where the pain originates from. The senior doctor finally did his maneuver and asked, "is this the pain you would like to get rid of" and I yelled politely, YES.  So after expressing to the intern that I do not want cortisone shots in my leg, they too were convinced by the x-rays that I needed full hip replacement. Not a very encouraging thing.. The senior surgeon said., Nothing else will do. I had to get this out of him in the hallway, since in my shock and their professional conversations forgot to indicate what their findings were. So after 9 months of waiting for this initial consult, having given a blood sample and ECG, I am officially on the wait list for another year perhaps for this surgery. My elderly friends said that do not be surprised if it is a long wait, as the hospitals do not have enough Operating Room nurses, and generally there are no surgeries done in the summertime. My now youngest daughter received a photo of me with my tongue sticking out, as to the true expression of how I am feeling. Without a pain management in place, I am sitting /laying in bed most of the day. Hopefully, some morphine patches on my arms will do the trick, and I pray that my doctor will see my need to manage this pain. I have no idea how our ancestors lived through so much agony. Imagine, no surgeons, doctors, x-rays. I suppose they just layed down and waited for the wild beasts to consume them. No wonder their life expectancy was much lower than we have it today.
On top of the pain, I am expected to take on an adventure to loose weight. I don't know how I am going to accomplish this, as I so love sweets, and good food in general. My aunts all have my stature in Hungary. They were agriculture farmers, built to do heavy work. I took on a lot of their genetics. I have been the pillar in my home to support the household, and now, my weight may be a hindrance to even qualify for surgery, or perhaps will reduce my chances of recovery. Sooooo I have much to do, and pray about and keep my mouth shut in the physical sense, and not consume the amounts of food that I am used to consuming. I need your prayers.
