I need hip replacement surgery.
| Tue, 04-14-2009 - 1:54pm |
My appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon didn't have a very happy result. I haven't scheduled it yet, but am thinking I might as well get it over with. My heart feels like it's in my throat...needless to say, I'm upset & frightened.
It has been rainy & gloomy out for 2 days, but yesterday I saw a gorgeous rainbow! A good sign? Cal

Remember, Eldersis had hip replacement surgery before Christmas.

Hi Cal:
I am sorry to hear that you need hip replacement, but the new hip joints they use today are really a marvel.

Now the question is answered, no bone disease, just wear & tear. Anticipation is always the worst, so I suggest you get surgery scheduled ASAP. Just think of recuperating during the summer resting on your deck/porch and enjoying the warmth. I'm always grateful I've lived long enough that so many replacement surgeries are common and real engineering feats. Be sure to get a surgeon who has done a lot of these AND check out the hospitals records for MRSA infections.

Also good to know you had a lovely Easter celebration with your family. Next year will be even better with your new hip!!

Cal I agree with all the girls, go ahead and schedule the surgery. I think you would want it done before really hot weather sets in. Then you will beable to take your trip to your getaway that you always do and really enjoy doing things this summer. We all wish you speedy recovery, look at Eldersis and what she is able to accomplish now that her surgery is done.
Prayers to you Cal and keep us posted as to when you will be having it done.
Hugs Betty
