Keep your thoughts positive. I have a lot of friends who now set off metal detectors and they've all had great outcomes.

Me and my Mrs are rootin for both of ya Bear, we hope for the best. Hard work and careful supervision are important in the PT process afterwards, I've had my shoulder and knee both worked on, and my physical therapist says I made all the difference in healing. Best wishes!
We'll sure be thinking of you guys, but I wouldn't worry.
These days, hip replacements are like getting your tonsils out.
Just make sure she does the follow up exercises.

Gone but not forgotten. RIP
Best wishes to you both. Will probably be easier on Mrs. Bear than you. I had a total knee replacement about a year a go and it went well. The surgeon who does both told me a hip is much easier for the patient than knees. Hope that helps

My prayers and thoughts are with you, John and for Mrs. Bear also. I have had two total hip replacements in the last 16 years and both went without a hitch. Complete recovery, quick recovery, no residual pain or problems. Be sure that she does her therapy. That's the answer to everything.

Give her a hug from down under next you are with her.
Cheers from Oz.

Hey Bear all waiting for the good word, we know you probably can't get to the computer because you are playing nurse and doing the house work. Just give us the all clear when you can.

Thank You All for the Thoughts & Prayers!!
We really Appreciate that !!
This is the first time I felt like playing with this Mac---Been in a Crap mood, since the problems started.
With us there is no such thing as "Routine Surgery"
At least this time it wasn't the Dr's fault, like our other surgeries.---So Far.
Got her to Hosp @ 5:30 (15 minutes early).---Yesterday (Wednesday)
Surgery started at 7:30----Supposed to take 1 1/2 hours.
Found she had a bone density problem.
So they had to use a Bigger Spur, and wrap the bone with wire.
This changed the surgery time to a total of 4 1/2 hours---Lost a lot of blood.
Then she spent another 3 hours in recovery, because her BP was about 70/40.
Took her to a room when it got up to 80/50.
So overnight last night they pumped 6 bags of IV into her to hydrate her.
Then some more IV today, and her BP was up to 114/77, so in came the PT gang.
They got her up, and had her walk around the Bed & back again, but she got light headed.
That was because when she stood up her BP went from 114/77 down to 78/56.
Back to Bed & more fluids from IV.
I asked them "Why not some Hemo-Globin?" They replied, "We're thinking about it".
So I left about an hour ago, and laying down, her BP was 118/58.
Personally I think she lost a whole lot of blood, and I'm hoping it doesn't hurt her Kidneys like the other hospital did to mine.
I wish I had better news to report to you guys, but that's all I got right now.
Thanks again, guys, and keep trying Please.

Wow that's tough to hear Bear :(. When you want everything to go just right, and it doesn't, you can't help but be reminded that even in the medical profession, it's only people doing there jobs and some don't do them as well as others. I had great luck myself, but never the less, my family is in your corner, we really hope this turns around for you and the wife, and maybe the next quack on shift will know his "shift" and get her sorted promptly, or maybe a miracle happens. Bark at the nurses if it makes you feel better, but keep up the good fight none the less. We'll be praying for you tonight, and it's been a while in my house. I know what you mean about a "good surgery", bad luck falls outta the sky and smacks me in the face every day, it came with the last name apparently :P.
Best Wishes Bear,

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife, Bear. IV Saline can increase volume and blood pressure, but it doesn't transport oxygen. Her body is busy healing from surgery and making new blood. Fingers crossed.
Bear, you and Mrs. B have all my thoughts and prayers. Hips are usually a piece of cake for the bone docs. Sorry to hear about the complications, but like you learned they have procedures for those too. Once she gets over this initial recovery and her PT, her life with the new hip will be so much better. Count me among the titanium bone club members.
Dote on her as much as she needs. This is your opportunity to be her angel.
