You're about 10 years younger than me and should recover well. My only advise is to follow the restrictions on movement religiously. You really don't want to dislocate that hip.

I broke my hip about 10 years ago in a major fall and got a rod at first. The break healed, but the joint didn't get enough blood to remain healthy and I got a total replacement about 6 years later. My understanding is that a total replacement first is pretty standard at this point.
