THR Toddlermom, a double hippy at last
Soooo....the third bit of antics happened at the hospital. Forgive all of the typo mistakes. My eyes have been having trouble focusing to write. In recovery, it took several hours to get moved up to a overnight room. This is when life got interesting. I had been told to hold on...- Toddlermom

THR Toddlermom, a double hippy at last
I am out, in a roon, and recovering. Catch up once I get home- I am finally a double hippie, thank heavens. Bye bye knife feeling in my femur. Nerve block and sedation made the recovery room easier.

Hip Arthroscopy Hip Arthroscopy
@Jo33 So sorry you are experiencing pain! Almost 8 years ago, I had the same surgery at 37, and my doc told me in the recovery room that he probably should have done a THR. Your response is totally understandable to such a surprise. Sometimes I think docs don’t really do a great job...- Toddlermom

or, almost! Check in is 7:30 am central. All is quiet around here. It has been raining all day, and it sounds lovely outside my window. My family is all asleep, and of course you are left alone with your thoughts and reflections. My last snack was a slice of homemade pumpkin bread...- Toddlermom

Tomorrow is the big day!
Forgive the brain dump. The lead up to hip #2 has been very different this time around. I feel far more disconnected to what is coming. Part of it is.....My kiddos are older at 5&7 and soooo active. Part of it is I am juggling a job and we moved a couple months ago (so there have been...- Toddlermom

I have a date!
@Layla Confirmed with the ortho scheduler that my new doc doesn’t yet have the Mako for hips (only knees). But the scheduler totally geeked out when I told her that my other THR was a Mako, lol. She talked about how excited the doc was to have the Mako knee, when did I get it....and so...- Toddlermom
