Hip replacement and cycling

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum so looking forward chatting about all thinks cycling! I've just turned 60, been a keen cyclist most of my life and in the last 12 years or so have achieved many life-long goals in cycling; mountains, end-to-ends, sportives, charity rides etc., I had my left hip replaced 5 years ago and was determined to get back into cycling, very little help or advice out there but in the 5 years to date managed to clock up over 6000 miles on my bike. Now I'm facing another operation for a hip replacement on my right hip.

I know I'm in a tiny minority - female, 60 years of age, long distance cyclist, two new hips! I am as determined as last time to get back on the bike as quickly as possible and already planning next years rides. It would be nice to hear from anyone who is in a similar situation.
