Hello all. I live in VA and am 57. I fell in a grocery store and broke my femoral neck. Didn’t realize it was broken until I had more and more trouble walking. Fast forward had emergency hip pinning on 10/03/18. Spent 12 weeks on 30% weight barring with walker, and then progressed to Cane and PT. Unfortunately, started having knee and hip pain mid February and ended up in horrible pain. Had LTHR last Wednesday 03/20/19. Surgery was lengthy. Pins removed posterior and left hip replaced. Had complications and lost voice for a week. Home Saturday. Today is Day 9 for me. Swelling still and in more pain than I was earlier. Maybe due to more activity. Hoping to share this journey. It’s been pretty isolating. I’ve already been home 6 months and this next phase just started. Sending healing vibes to all those post surgery. Hello from Virginia.
