Now I am so frustrated. This is not about me . I am the coach for a person that has gone through three hip surgeries on one side until this last , which is the fourth on the same side,and is total joint removal. Let me tell you he has arthritis in both hips also both shoulders. We have made countless trips back and forth to Boise from La grande Oregon. this has now gone on for four years or better. The first replacement was doing fine till he fell.11/2/2016 was the first surgery,TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY REVISION 4/30/2018 then on 7/11/2018 TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY POSTERIOR APPROACH REVISION and finally 1/07/2020 OPEN REDUCTION INTERNAL FIXATION FEMUR PROXIMAL total removal of hip. He is now in Meridian . Got his surgeries done in Meridian Idaho. He is at a rehab facility telling me he wants to come home . Now I know that stretching is one of the most needed after surgery. He has no one in our hometown that can make sure he gets that done. He was trying to tell me he would be better off at home. This I know is not true as he has no one to exercise him here. Im sure he would sit in his elec.chair and do nothing. Can anyone help me ? I know they wanted him there for 3 weeks, but he is going to try to leave After only 16 days of physical therapy, im sure the DR will ask him if he has someone at home to take care of him, and im also sure he will tell them yes to just try and get released. He also owns a dog that sleeps in the same bed as he. Im at wits end. please any advise would be greatly appreciated .
