Hey guys, I know some of you already know about this but some do not. I will be having hip repair surgery soon and will be down and out for a while. Something that has to be done, hip replacement was the prognosis but I am too young to get that right now since they only last about 20 years, so hip repair should postpone that for 10 to 15 years if all goes well.
Seems the good news just keeps coming. Anyways, just wanted you to know where I am in case you dont see me on.
best wishes on the surgery. My brother had to have knee replacement 2 yrs ago this month, he waited as long as he could too. GL
Good luck with the surgery and hopefully they have something better in ten year that will make the hip surgery last longer. Keep us posted.
Hope everything turns out well
Will keep you in our prayers
Good luck hope it goes well!!
You're going to be in a lot of pain for a while, but the important thing is take the pain meds every 4 hrs as prescribed and really attack the physical therapy to get your motion back. When I had my knee done the dr told me to concentrate on getting the motion back within 3 wks and then I could build strength the rest of my life if I wanted.....now I can squat or kneel with no pain....never did work on the strength tho....lol. Don't just do the p.t. 2 or 3 times/day....do it all the time you can stand it.
Good luck skeeter! Hope all goes well!
had mine done 2 years ago this month all i can say is pt,pt,pt and more pt weent 3 times a week the on off days hit they gym walkin and stairsteps
good luck
Good luck Skeeter, my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Thanks everyone. Yes I know about physical rehab. Did it for my knees, now the hip however that is something I am having a hard time wraping my head around for motion. Well we shall see, I will push it till I can not push no more, got to get back to good fishing health. Just got to find out when they want to do the surgery now. And thank you all for the well wishes and prayers, probably going to need them to stay positive.
hip is 75% easer than knee had both done was easer to recover from hip
Saying a prayer for you Sketter. Hope everything goes well for you.
Little Sketter you have our prayers and best wishes.
Good luck Skeeter
wish you well anda speedyrecovery
Very much appreciated guys!
Best wishes in the surgery and outcome. Have had both mine replaced. Should have not waited so long to get them replaced.
Thanks dfar
So give us an update Skeeter, Have you had the surgery yet.
Not yet, they scheduled me for 12 July. I elected for the open surgery versus the orthoscope due to the amount of bone needing to be removed from the ball and from the socket as well as the soft tissue that is in the socket needing repaired. Pain is just getting worse so far, just trying to keep it together till surgery. Then it is rehab time.
Good and bad timing I guess since the government will be furloughing my job during this time. LOL salt in the wound I reckon.
Good luck Lil Skeeter! My wife just had her left hip replaced and she was going up and down the steps at home 2 days after she came home. She had it done on the 20th of May and you would almost not know it to watch her get around. Best of luck.
Good to hear she recovered quickly. That is what I am praying for me as well. Dr. said he didnt want me to drive for 3 weeks! I said "WHAT"! Anyways thanks for the well wishes.
Had the surgery, at home now trying to get back to normal. Very strange feeling within the hip that I am not use to but Percocet tends to make it feel a little better.
Glad your better hope the healing time goes quickly.
Glad to hear you back home. It is always good to get back to your own place. That strange feeling will go away after awhile and then you will enjoy walking without the pain before. Good luck on the recovery.
Good luck there Skeeter. Hope your back out fishing soon.
Good to hear Skeeter! May your recovery include some ripin lips!
