    THR JackiesLost's hip

    I have not been here for a few years and today I found myself needing some support and quite willing to give some. I had my first hip replacement in 2010, long story short here I was badly infected. I have been on antibiotics since then and also had 2 additional replacements done. After bottles...

    Hello..it has been awhile

    I apologize for being a lost hip reciprocate. Life has been difficult since I had my hip done since then re-done yet again. Not being known for my lack of patience as a patient, I am so very tired of all of this. There have been approx. 3 months of living without a dripping hip and month upon...

    me and my hip....

    This is coming a few days later than I had hoped to be on here much sooner. I saw my family doctor and he sent me into my surgeon and the decisions came. First off though,my surgeon did not think I had dislocated anything. He thinks maybe it is my back, I have a curved spine and arthritis in my...

    me and my hip....

    ...and so the saga goes :cry:Hello again everyone Tonight I try and write this and make some sense... Two days ago I should have been able to celebrate, it was the first time I had absolutely no discharge. The one and only reason I could not is because I was rudely awoken in the middle of...

    me and my hip....

    I have missed this place so much.... I have not been here for awhile, it seems like years to me actually. I have somehow managed to let myself slip into a depression and am fighting now to dig myself out of my little hole. I just found myself being so darn tired of this never ending saga I...
