Hi folks,
Just had my right hip replaced yesterday. Today was fun, due to my height the Physio said it was going to be awkward and he was right. 4 attempts to stand up resulted in me getting lightheaded and the blood running from my head. Nearly fainted and the nurse said if I went there was nothing she could do other than let me. She is a good nurse and we had some humor in between it all. Eventually around 5pm I could get around and wasn't light headed.
Hip feels weird, like it is spring loaded and pops. No pain from movement but my gluteus and thigh muscles are sore.
Let's see what tomorrow brings for me. Just happy it has started.
