I never got the Arnica , so Ive just been dealing with it, not too bad now though.
Some increase in energy lately and of course I abused it yesterday! Ya ya I know, I should know better but sometimes impatience wins.
Been walking for a few days, around the house, mainly without my cane. Lots of concentration to keep my gait right, also heel toe chant aplenty!
Have not needed any Norco since Monday before PT, occasionally taken tylenol. No real pain but having some discomfort in the R side SI joint, thinking that its just readjusting to my new hip.
R leg feels a little longer but I have noticed that feeling has been slowly decreasing.
Monday is first post op OS appt and totally excited to see my pair!!!!

Hi Haldox
Just catching up again - I leave BoneSmart for a few days and there are 4 pages of new postings. I must keep up with the flow!
It sounds as though you are doing pretty well. It still amazes me that you can get away with only 10 hours in hospital.
I expect the ankle bruising is calming down a bit now. I know I had worse bruising in my lower leg and foot than I did in my thigh. I also had a large blister on my heel that I just couldn't understand. I sometimes wonder what actually happens on the table while you're under, but I guess it's better not to know the gory details!
I think you are well over the worst now and on your way to a full recovery and full mobility again without pain. That's gonna be such a good place to get to! :yes 4:
Best wishes
Roger

Had 2 week check up today!
Sad news-no xrays this time, gotta wait until the 6 week mark.
Great news-All is good-2 stitches removed,restrictions lifted, ordered outpatient therapy and told the only thing I need my cane for is clunking my husband upside the head if need be.
But Dr Berger did instruct my husband that Im still excluded from cooking,washing dishes and especially NO laundry. Also gave him the advice that shopping is good for the hip!!!:th_heehee::wink1:
I asked Dr Berger about my R leg feeling longer. He had actually explained to my husband post op that my R leg was shorter and he had to give it some length!Husband forgot that important detail.:DOH:
So it seems I should be good once I get these soft tissues back in order.
Again I am in awe and overly thankful for this wonderful surgery!!

Haldox,
Congratulations on the glowing follow-up report! So sorry tho about the housework restrictions - too bad your husband gets to have all the fun for a while... those are 6 month restrictions, right?

Thanks everyone!
Usually the OS isnt like that. Hes mostly right to the point and out, he mustve had a good day.
The Bactrim is doing a number on my stomach, very,very nauseous!! Just took a Zofran, see if it helps.
Oh ya, I slept on my side first time last night!! It only lasted a few hours at a time though, even with a pillow between my legs the soreness,pulling would wake me up and Id have to flip to my back. It was like heaven!
