Yup BigDawg is still around , lurking and keeping an eye on this Place, given me a few smiles , ( Those smiles were more than needed)
Some of U at the HBH knew that I was going in for Hip Replacement in early June , So after HBH, I slowed down n stop drinking and smoking cigars (at the request of the Doc until I was released ), So ON June 4th I started my adventure, I went under the knife to replace a Older Hip Replacement i had had done in the early 90's , the Doc and his team when to work replacing the Ball and Socket and doing some Bone grafting, The Operation had a few issues and did go a few hours longer than normal, But all was good , I was in the Hospital for a few days an was looking forward to getting home and start my recovery, So on June 7th was released home and was a happy camper.......
Afternoon of June 7th was seen by a Home Heath Nurse and PT, we went over all the does and don't, learning how to walk, get dressed, all that fun stuff and I was doing great and felt strong .....1st night at home ,God I was doing great , decided to do a lil walk in the house (still using a walker), went into bathroom to practice getting off and on the commode ( I was 25% weight bearing and pretty stiff legged).........
That is when the fun began , while rising up into / onto the walker my new hip went flat to the floor and dislocated out the back side , it was all I could do to keep from passing out, ( Never have I felt any pain Like this and looking down seeing that the hip was out of place ) Fighting to keep it together so Momma could get me back to the bed....... Yup 911 was called and the Fire Department, at the Hospital they doped me up good and tried to get the hip relocated back in, But NO she wouldn't go.........
Now more X-rays , CT Scans putting me in all these position that hurt like a Bitch, Thank GOD I was done, (or so I thought) and into traction I went for the next three days (Had to wait for another Team of Doctors) to look this thing over and now figure out how to rebuild and replace all these parts.
A New Plan was put in place and on the 13th Operation was done and all good, Lots of Bone graph, all kinds of Hi Tech parts, Had to stay in hospital 4 more nights, dealing with PT, and all that stuff , THANK GOD I got to come home on the 18th and things r almost back, I'm Non weight baring for 6 weeks , in a Brace when i'm not in bed, using a walker again and moving around the house one step at a time , Have a Home Health Nurse and PT come to the house every other day , DAMN ITS GOOD TO BE HOME ! Still not smoking or Drinking until released from Doc , But I'd be lying if said I wasn't thinking about one ........
