@Jamie Hi Jamie! Thank you for the help. I'm not in recovery mode even though I had my surgery 3 months ago. Right now I'm in 'sorry, the surgery failed mode', still in pain, still only able to inch my way around the house, . My surgeon wrote in his notes that I needed a custom cage, cup, flange thingy, well that's what I found in his notes. Am I so out of date to expect someone to at least spell it out to me face to face?
I noticed as I got older and my hair got more gray I became invisible out in society and I honestly don't care. I'm getting sick of this awful pain and sick of being ignored. I'm not a person that asks for help, I'd rather find someone who can help me and pay them and appreciate that they were available to help me.
I had a great recovery in all my previous joint surgeries because I went out and researched for myself what to do and not do. I set my home up like a hospital...everything waist high, I joined Costco and loaded up a cart with lots of food, toilet paper, ziploc freezer bags. Also got the toilet riser and TWO grabbers because I knew I'd drop one of them. I cooked lots of food then froze single meals to pop in the microwave. I lived alone in a semi for many years, sometimes finding myself shut down in a blizzard for days. You learn what's necessary to do to stay alive and make it back home again. I guess it's a lot like the military, which I tried to join but was turned down because of my knee.
So now I'm in limbo....floating....wasting time.....
