Pretty uneventful! Still a little loopy and sore, but no oxy since around 2PM yesterday, mostly Tylenol and an anti inflammatory whose name I forgot. Got a larger head and a constrained locking ring according to the operative notes. No change to femoral component. So not very invasive as far as these go. I’m already feeling better than earlier yesterday afternoon, pain has subsided a lot. Walking fine with walker, no limping or gait issues and I’m hoping to ditch the walker in a week or so. No log leg but muscles are pretty tight.
Question: I bought a lounge doctor to elevate at home, my nurse here thinks the angle is extreme and is worried that I’ll blow the 90 degree restriction. I have other less high options. Thoughts?
Hopefully get discharged today. At home PT to start Friday, outpatient two weeks later. I’m fully weight bearing. But I’m tired, I think my BP is much lower than usual. Slept well last night.
