THR left hip on Oct 26th in Calgary. Most people here doing a spinal or are some still doing general? Everyone is pushing spinal but I'm leery. Maybe get to take some selfies though.

I had my posterior LTHR on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, had a very positive hospital stay. Nursing staff was great as was my OS. Had spinal with sedation so I didn't have sore throat or fuzzy head when I woke up. Was sent home on Friday, October 16, late afternoon. Not too much pain as am taking Codeine during the day, Norco before bedtime. The only problem is when I get up from bed to use bathroom I"m leaking urine. Didn't know this would be a problem, so I put extra pads on my bed and have hand towels to use so I don't leak over the floor. Is this a common occurrence? Doesn't happen during the day when I use BR. Don't need to wear Ted hose as I am on Coumadin. My left leg is slightly swollen. So far so good except for the leaking problem.

Tomorrow is a big day with Kocob, ilovefall, slapstep, kktoland all scheduled! Thinking of you all & wishing you all successful surgeries and speedy recoveries! Lady luck3 happy to hear you had a good hospital stay and are only experiencing minimal pain. Keep up the good recovery!

Is it too late to get in the Oct. group? I'm having a THR right hip on Oct. 28. anterior approach, Dr. Mason at Orthhcarolina. Looking forward to a great surgery and even better recovery, thanks to all the wonderful information and support here! I've enjoyed so much of the encouragement and information I've read on this site! Debra

@Lady luck3
Don't worry, I think it's fairly common. Maybe some residual numbness and our slowness to get to the pot on time? I've seen others post about it on their recovery forums, too. It goes away fairly quickly. I hope this helps your worries.

 

[Lady luck3]

Thank you CricketHip for this information, you are right as have this problem under control, it only happened my first night home from hospital. I worry to much as this is my first time with a new hip. Now my new worry is a swollen foot, but probably my fault as am not icing as I should have. Just so glad I have this forum to go to for advice, etc.
