Went in around 7:30 am and came home around 5ish. My OS came back to visit me for an hour late afternoon, so that held things up. He's a talker. Said obviously the joint was totally destroyed and my abductor was severely atrophied from years of compensating. He's confident he can get most of it back with PT.
Guess I watched too many of those SuperPath videos with people raising their cane in the air triumphantly because silly me sure as heck didn't see herself on a walker with pain on the side and front. And my aching butt!!!!! I'm in my recliner, just took a half a Norco and hoping that this does indeed get better. He said tomorrow may be worse than today, but then should improve. Tomorrow I start the Lovenox injections too....
It had to be done, but I sure didn't expect the pain afterwards! Had the shakes coming out of anesthesia pretty bad and I'm still a little nauseous and shaky. I suppose it's the fear and pain. Hope I can get some rest tonight.
