Hello all-
Had my L THR revision done on Monday. But dislocated the hip Monday evening after the surgery- ouch! It wasn't until Tuesday morning that the medical staff decided to get x-rays...of course, the x-rays confirmed the dislocation.
My OS showed up about 30 minutes after the x-rays we're taken. He was adamant that we try to manually put the hip back into it's socket before starting prep for another surgery to correct the problem.
After manually trying 3 times to "pull" the hip back into its' correct position, he was successful
However, because of the complication/dislocation of the hip after the surgery, my recovery time has to be about 3-4 weeks longer than I was expecting...am beginning to "travel" the road of the post-op recovery stages. Yesterday was incredibly happy, today I'm the proverbial complain
Enough now; I'm exhausted just from texting this out to y'all!
