Hi gang! I returned from the hospital on Sunday but this is the first time I have felt like getting online. Surgery went well with no complications. Had some issues with muscle twitches in my legs which REALLY HURT on my operated side. My PT called them "fasciculations" which are the body's natural reaction to pain but exacerbated by stress and anxiety (what, who me?). If I stay on a strict pain med schedule, these are minimized. Getting up and wandering around the house also helps. My PT is really experienced and has even had a hip replacement himself. I feel like he is a gift from heaven -- just what I needed to get motivated to do the exercises I need to do. Very happy with that. Can't chat long. I still need lots of rest. Just wanted you to know I am coming along OK and optimistic about my rehab.
Thanks again to all. Love, Gail
