Good review. This one can help anyone who faces life altering challenges. It doesn't only have to be hip replacement.

Although I've never had any encounters with surgical procedures, I could learn a few things from this book. The author takes the reader into the world of a chronic illness patient, and details every step of the healing process.

This seems like an important topic! I like that the author uses her first-hand experience to create a guide for those who have had hip replacement surgery. It's great to hear that the author's writing style was clear and concise, and that the book was well-organized. I also like that the suggestions included could be applicable to people who have had other types of surgery, not just hip replacement. Illustrations are definitely more entertaining than reading a book full of medical jargon, and even though there were alternative pain management suggested, I'm glad to know that they were not overpowering. I'm not sure this is for me, but I'm glad that you enjoyed this professionally-edited book! Thank you for sharing!

I appreciate the author's time to write such a helpful book on surgery and more specifically hip surgery. The simple guidelines for helping a family member prepare their home in advance for household accommodations they will need after surgery is quite on the mark. Nice review.

Sounds like the book is a good mix of practical ideas and personal experience of hip replacement. I hadn't thought about how life-changing a hip replacement could be. It is wonderful that you related to and found this book helpful. Thank you for a great review.

I think this is an inspiring novel. It is a guide and has therapeutic sessions for persons with stress and other traumatic experiences. The author offers insight into his hip replacement operation and is moving on from the experience.

Thanks a lot for the enchanting review. It is well-written. I will have to read this book, especially given that it can be read in a single sitting. What I like most is that the author not only shared her own experiences but also explored other possible scenarios.

I’m sure this would be very educational and helpful to those in a similar situation. I won’t be reading this one though but would definitely recommend this to anyone I know that is in need of a hip replacement.

I appreciate that, for a serious topic, the read was somewhat light and quick while still being filled with information.

A concise guidebook on hip replacement will be very helpful to deter unnecessary worries regarding the surgery and to create awareness. Wonderful how a book on such a topic can be made easy to read. Thanks for the informative review!

I am not in need of hip replacement surgery and I don't know anyone who is going through it yet, but this sounds like an incredibly valuable resource for those who are or know people who are. I actually like the alternative healing ideas, although I'm not a big fan of acupuncture myself. Thank you for the helpful review.

I sampled the book on Amazon. A courageous and very helpful person Tiffany Anderson has come up with her personal story of her motivational life-journey where she went through a lot of physical discomforts and mainly two hip transplants. As mentioned in the official review by Cecilia_L this book would be a very significant guide for any person who wants a better understanding of something like hip replacement or similar surgeries and can help themselves or others accordingly. Hats off to Tiffany Anderson. :) :)
