I am anxious as most would be when you undertake the replacement of a hip. After years of waterskiing, snowskiing, and biking, it just plain wore out. The arrival at 6:30 A.M. escalated my concerns about surgery, pre-registered but necessary to arrive and wait for two hours! All went well, the doctor had no complications and the anthesiologist certainly knew what he was doing! I would post a graphic of the scar but it is quite gross. When you marry a woodworker be prepared to know measurements, 7.8 inches and many, many, staples!
The nurses were wonderful and the CNA's were great with the exception of one who perhaps will find another field.
An added feature of my abode for four days was the view of the Flight for Life as it approached and landed right outside my window. (twice) There is no place like home though and it is great to be recuperating with pain diminishing on a daily basis. Thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers, calls, visits, flowers, food, and candy!
