The bestseller from the patient's perspective. Expanded, updated, and completely revised. A motivational book for everyone who realizes that movement is becoming laborious, even painful. The cause could be the hip! Authors Heidi Rauch and Peter Herrchen, both 60 years young, know what they are talking about, as they have been living wonderfully and actively with two artificial hip joints for years. Therefore, they want to encourage others - with the expanded, updated, and completely revised new edition of the bestseller from the patient's perspective "Courage for a New Hip!". With humor, a touch of self-irony, and a lot of positive energy, the two authors share their own experiences and provide tips from A to Z on alternative therapies and aids. In total, 15 individuals aged 21 to 72 share how well they have coped with their hip surgery and how much they appreciate their new hips.
