Tomorrow is the big day. I am scheduled for posterior THR with Dr Brian Evans at Georgetown University Hospital at 7:30am.
My husband, Bob, and I are staying at their hotel tonight.
It has been a grueling 7 months since I fell down 13 stairs at my home and fractured my femoral neck on June 30. I was rushed by ambulance to RESTON Hosp and a trauma surgeon repaired my hip with three cannulated screws.
After a week in the hospital I was sent to a rehab center for 3 weeks with toe touch weight bearing restrictions. Things looked good until I started having groin pain the first part of Oct.
I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of femoral head. I also may have a nonunion but that has been questionable.
The pain has been progressively bad, especially now that I am off of NSAIDs until my surgery tomorrow.
I have been very grateful to all of you who have answered my pre op questions, shared your experiences and given me some outstanding advice.
I feel like I have some great friends already on this web site!!
Say a prayer for me tomorrow and I will do the same for you.
I will keep you posted on my surgery.
