Hi All,
I am just home from the hospital, it was unfortunately much more complicated than the surgeon anticipated. It was a 6.5 hour surgery, where the cup and stem were removed. A smaller one was used with a different mechanism to allow full motion of hip flexor and no impingements. The tendon was damaged and I also had a femur fracture. The surgeon explained everything in detail during rounds but I was pretty out of it. Last day I needed a blood transfusion, my BP and hemoglobin were very low.
They asked me if I wanted to stay a fifth day but I wanted to get into my own place and not be woken up every 90 minutes for vitals. My son is staying with me for two weeks, he is an absolute angel. That is all I have for now. It is nap time!
