The post op care is VERY important.
I like you don't say much when in pain and surgery for me is not an option so home care and letting things that flare up heal is very important.
King Vanity and I have been doing accupuncture for bone, muscle and attacment injuries the last few months.
The practitioner is also our RPT from the local Home Health hospital that is my advisor on his pulomonary needs.
We know all about chronic pain TC and the best pain killers are worthless.
It sucks as you know being a physical working person sitting still or not having a limb functioning is more very frustrating. And relying on others is not in our vocabulary. So I assume you are much the same.
So to get this hip fixed PLEASE TAKE the time needed to allow post op HEALING as that will be the KEY to your outcome. TRUST ME on this.
BTW I knew something was up since early in Feb. as your postings sluffed off and I knew if it was about your daughter we would have heard so I had a feeling something was up with you.
Which means Prayers were going up long before BG clued us all in.
I'll bet you do, op.
I used to say that I could understand, but I didn't.
Only when you live with it 24 hours a day with no relief in sight can you understand.
When the body finally gets so exhausted that it drops into a quick recovery sleep of a couple of hours then wakes back up to the same pain, one can understand.
My heart goes out to you and KV. You've got more strength in your big toe than I'll ever muster.
You would think that in this age of medical miracles, there would be a pain killer that works, but I agree. I haven't found one, either.
May God bless you and KV, and may you have a Happy Easter.
