Okay fellas...First day I've felt good enough to jump on the computer and check in.
Surgery went well and as we feared my bone disease along with the connective tissue damage
was the reason it needed to be done. This was something that surprised the doctor as nothing
showed up on the MRI's or Xrays. Kinda taught the Doc a new lesson in Sometimes the patient is right!
Anyways this time around was more painful than the last as they not only replaced the ball but
had to scrape out damaged muscle and scare tissue.Apparently there was alot of that. Anyways I got home last Thursday
and wound up in ER the next night as a clot/hemotoma tore through the suture area and blood was everywhere...I mean everywhere!
Scared the hell out of us and the pain was through the roof. I've never experienced that much pain. So after the hospital got it cleaned out
and recovered the area they sent me home with strict bed rest orders. I tried getting on the computer to fill everyone in
but my eyes really hurt when I would look and the screen and I would get a headache. Today I think has been my first good day since being home.
I'm hoping it's clear skies ahead. See the doc next week and then start PT for atleast 6 months. So in a nut shell I'm doing better and I will try to get on
a little more everyday. Have alot to catch up with...Thanks everyone for your thoughts and well wish's.
