In at 10:30, surgery at 12:30, home from phase 2 recovery at 8:00 pm. Awesome total left hip anterior approach without the swelling I had previously. Pain this am was minimal but the “local” they use finally wore off. Sent home with vicodin - makes me woozy but does little for pan so I’ll stick with alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen with Tramadol if I need it. Tramadol doesn’t give me the problems other opioids do and has always been pretty effective for me. Except my stash is from 2016 so might try to get a new scrip.
Ice, walking, stretching plus a list of exercises until PT starts on Monday. My PT is first and foremost on safety and not stressing joints - they look at how the whole body affects recovery.
Only aspirin for anti-coagulation as I had major bleeding issues on stronger stuff last time.
All in all I couldn’t have asked for a better team and having all I learned here after my first hip has been invaluable.
You guys rock!
