Well everyone I have read and taken heart of all that you have said. Today I am walking with a cane. I really have no pain but as said stiffness. It is no longer in the hip area but the groin. I never liked tylenol (just imagine you have to take tylenol to build up its effect but advil not and since my BP has always been low ibuprofen elevates it slightly so I don't want to faint (in the summer when I sweat like a pallbearer). Advil is instantaneous and an inflammatory which tylenol isn't. I have also read what is said here but I was given advil and tylenol to take with simultaneously for pain. The advil is finished. I too have seen someone on dialysis due to tylenol. I will see my OS July 16 and will make sure to see if it is contraindicated.If it helps you
@Cecropia I am glad for you. I think we must follow our bodies and do what is best for ourselves.I hope your pain leaves your body and you are left with smooth walking and doing all that you want to do and you feel like a butterfly. I wish I could have that strawberry pie. My mom was a baker. I love gathering recipes.
Many meds do not work on me. They had a devil of a time at the hospital and had to bring in a new anesthesiologist the following day after surgery.@mainegirl1 it was my bloomin OS (probably a great salesman--aren't they all) who said I would be driving in 10 days and running in 6 weeks. Oh yup I will be running to the appointment to flog him with a wet noodle.
I really have been without pain (except nagging back ache pre surgery) for a couple of weeks. My right leg feels almost normal the left well is the slower sister.
It was sunny today and we ate lunch in the garden outside of the heat (30). Tomorrow is the day. The PT is the one the government provides and gawd only knows whom I will have at re-hab but I have my own.
@winemama 2-3 errands holy batmobile you are moving. I can only wish. Good for you. Like to hear about others' progress.
@cornishgal--OMG 2 within a week that appears to be worse than bilateral. I am in awe. Get the sleep you need forget the walking and other stuff. I am here to tell you it goes up and down up and down. Be blue all you want after what you have been through--eh gads.I'm with you --yup and this time next year we will be doing a jig--well first I have to learn.Thinking of you too.
Er scrap the sunny day I hear thunder and see lightening -getting real dark and we are about to have a real downpour.
