OMG! You poor thing! My heart goes out to you.
Well, my first dislocation happened while taking a shower in March 2019. My operation was in December 2018. I remember it just like yesterday. It was a beautiful warm March day and I opened my bedroom window to get some fresh air. I decided to wash my hair so I jumped in the shower. While washing my hair I guess I twisted just right and my hip dislocated and down I went. I hit my head on the tub and laid there screaming, crying and yelling for help for 4 hours. Finally, the neighborhood boy heard me screaming and ran to the neighbors for help. Opening my window was my savior. I live by myself and it was a Friday and no one would none anything until Monday when I didn’t show up for work.
My second dislocation was Sept 29 and then again Sept 30 while in Abingdon VA while bicycling the Virginia Creeper Trail. I said to my boyfriend while we were walking through the Autumn Fest, that something just wasn’t right with my hip. My hip doesn’t feel good. We walked down to the creek and I squatted down to the ground and my hip dislocated. They had to rescue me with a gator to get me off the trail.
I had two dislocations while at my moms and then I had one while in the hospital laying in bed. I push the button to raise my head up and my hip dislocated. Just so many horror stories and so much pain.
My femur did not have to be broken likes yours.
Now that I know what a good Hip feels like, no mind never felt completely right before the dislocation.
After my dislocation in Sept, the OS said that they need to create a custom hip and since I was on my fourth operation, I had to wait it out with a partially dislocated hip until my operation on May 30th.
This hip feels good. I’m like you with the worrying
That this is going to happen again.
After reading your text and talking about the ambulance ride to the hospital and the fentanyl, brought back my memories being the same but mine was Morphine and I kept begging for more because I was in agony. They went as high as they could go with the morphine and I was still in pain.
It’s so nice to have you to text to and understand what I have been through and what I’m going through. I will definitely stay in touch with you and let you know how my progress is going and you please do the same.
