THR Sarak - There's Life After a Hip Replacement

[MammaT]

I am impressed, driving after 7 days and it being the right hip!

@danabanana - That is fabulous! Now forming - the Super Hippie League. Current members are the Desperado and Unstoppable. The only qualifications necessary is at least one THR or hip arthroscopy and the will to let nothing get in your way of recovery - not doctors, physical therapists, other illnesses or anyone or anything else. Who else is in?

@Berber7227 - what's your Super Hippie name? Choose and then tag someone else that you think should join!

 

[danabanana]

Driving!?!?!? Wow!!! This SuperPath way is indeed super!!!!

Hehe @ "Super Hippie League". Love it! I'll provide the capes!

 

[SaraK]

Not sure any of us recent hippies could put on tights to go with the capes, though!

 

[danabanana]

No tights...we are bringing Sexy back with Compression Socks!

 

[SaraK]

[Shudder] so glad I didn't have to do compression socks! I do rock scrub bottoms, though.

We should have Edna Mode from the Incredibles movie make suits for us that camouflage incisions.

@jaydub63 - What is your inner Super Hippie alter ego?

 

[jaydub63]

Maybe Class Clown since I try to find the humor in life.

Ah yes and for me, it would be the fuzzy pj pants.

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.

@SaraK Nailed it! Especially these 2 lines lol!

Can I have some of what you crazy ladies are on although it probably isn't legal in the UK
Got some great tunes going round in my head now must look out all my eagles stuff .

 

[SaraK]

Your surgery will be soon. And then you can see what the meds and cabin fever turn into!

 

[SaraK]

@danabanana They considered a core decompression on my first hip but didn't think it would be of enough benefit because of torn/degenerated labrum. I feel for you for going through it and then having to go through THR. Equivalent of THR then revision.

 

[danabanana]

Thanks @SaraK

It was one of those tough decisions. I was an ideal candidate though, being early stage AVN and young. If there was a chance for it to work and I could keep my parts, we decided why not go for it. My OS had performed the surgery many times in Ontario but I was the very first here at my hospital in BC. I became quite popular in the orthopaedic medical community for some time. This newly formed Dana's Hip Club was fascinated with the procedure! Haha Unfortunately the hoped outcome wasn't achieved. Super disappointing not to mention deeply frustrating. Oh well....onward and upward.

Last night was so much fun, I decided to go out again tonight - the band was "Groove Thang." I didn't drink tonight so that I could take some meds tonight to help recuperate. I promise tomorrow will be a day of rest, but I needed one more night of fun before I head back to work (part time) on Monday! And things will be much more sedate during the week.

 

[MammaT]

Party animal!

 

[SaraK]

@MammaT - you're making me feel young - I don't think I've been accused of that since college (if then)!

Hey Sara...hope you have a great Sunday.
