Uh Oh

[clwhit]

Last evening, I did a stupid thing. I went outside in the dark searching for my puppy's bone that she'd left outside. I did have a flashlight but it was DARK. I know you can all see this coming . . . I stepped in a hole! I didn't completely lose my balance and fall, thank God. Today, however, my upper thigh and knee (right side - had RTHR) are bothering me. When I first start walking I'm okay. After a few steps though the pain gets pretty intense.

I see my OS on Tuesday for a regular check. I am 18 weeks post-op. I was going to brag about how well I was doing. Hopefully, this pain will be gone by then and I'll still get to do the bragging.

I take it you twisted as you stumbled? In which I'd suggest you get along to the hospital and get it xrayed. Better be safe than sorry. Is your hip cemented or uncemented?

Ouch! So sorry to hear about your mishap. The things we do for our pups! It's got to be just awful to find yourself in pain again after getting so far in your recovery. Hopefully this will be just a blip on the radar and you'll be back here in no time at all to do your rightful bragging!

Thanks for the replies. Josephine, my hip is uncemented. My leg seems to be doing better this evening. Will be having my hip x-rayed on Tuesday when I see my OS. Will let you know what I find out.

Cemented would have been more resistant to such a tumble. Hope all is well.
