Janet,
I followed you for quite a while and hope that you know how many of us are hoping and praying things turn around for you. You are in my prayers.

Hi everyone. I thought I was being very selfish in not giving you an update after all the good and bad that you have seen me through so.....

nanamac is back! :grouphug2: !

Hi Janet...and welcome back..

So glad to hear that things are going well.

Thank goodness! Just reading through the thread and catching up and feeling like it was surreal with you vanishing into thin air! Everyone will be thrilled, Janet!

 

[nanamac]

Hi again. I couldn't change the bold, blue text so had to start a new post.

I had my left hip replaced on Wednesday March 14th and all I can say this time is that it has been a piece of cake :yes 4:! Don't get me wrong, I am on 8mg Dilaudid every 3-4 hours, but I feel like a million $$$!

So, I came back to share this in case anyone else out there had a bad experience with a first hip replacement, never say never! This time I am even walking without crutches for small stretches. I have already forgotten to take pain medication because of the lack of pain.

On the morning of the surgery, my OS admitted to there being a 5/8 inch LLD and has evened that up and said that that alone may take care of the thigh/femur pain that has been ongoing since the first replacenment.

I am on top of the world right now. If it weren't for the wonderful members of Bonesmart, I don't know if I could have gone though this again, but you gave me the strength and courage to do it again!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring so much.

I will tell more later, but I am still quite tired and may need another transfusion on Monday. I have missed you all so very much. Thank you for getting me through a very dark time for a while. Much Love, Janet

Janet....you're back!! Whoot! Whoot! You have been missed so much here on BoneSmart. I know it must have been really tough in those weeks and days leading up to your revision. But, our prayers have been answered and you are finally doing well in recovery! My gosh, there is nothing better I could hear today.

Please take care of yourself. Go slow and don't let yourself get too excited about this new, good hip so much that you overdo things.

Yay Janet I was thinking about you earlier today and here you are! Fantastic to have you back my dear and even more fantastic to hear how well you're doing. Will look forward very much to hearing how you progress. Do hope things are looking up for the rest of your family too.
Lots of love
Anne xxx:yes 4:

Thanks everyone. I just don't have the strength to type anymore tonight, but promise, I'll share what I can remember tomorrow. He is a good OS, just needed to grow up and get some more experience.

Hey, they have to start somewhere, right? If only I knew then what I know now, thanks to Bonesmart! Nite nite...

You mind and take one day at a time you know the score and how many t shirts do you have. Just be careful and take things gradually.
