Had my thr done about 4 hours ago. Surgeon went with an anterolateral approach, instead of a direct anterior one (removing hardware from previos hip pinning surgery and degree of hip fracture influenced his decision). No intraoperative complications, fractures, etc. Spinal anesthesia/sedation was used.
Have not walked on new hip just yet. Have not gone to bathroom to pee yet. Tightness/soreness around buttock and side of thigh. Pain around 2-3, tolerable, managing with Tylenol every 6 hours. Slight scratchy throat (I use a CPAP machine at home, and I’m a mouth breather, so I’m chalking it up to that).
Waiting to go to the bathroom to start the discharge process and be sent home. Thanks to all the folks in the forum that have sent me get well wishes!
