I AM HOME ALREADY WITH MY NEW HIP UPDATE DAY 3

[SmokinAl]

They sure have come a long way with hip surgery. The new method called anterior hip replacement goes in from the front and doesn’t cut any muscles. They just move everything out of the way and put the new hip in. I got operated on around 9:00 AM this morning and I got home around 6:30 tonight. Right now I have hardly any pain at all, but I’m sure it will hurt in the morning. I guess we iill see.They had me up walking around right away after surgery. So far this has really gone well.
I’ll check back in tomorrow!

Sounds excellent Al!
Yep, they seem to want you to get right up already.
Enjoy those BLT sandwiches.

I think bacon grease is a good joint lube....
And it smells good.

Well they sure don't waste any time these days. I know they want people out as soon as possible but this has to be a new record for major surgery!! Glad to hear you're home already Al.
And don't even think about skimping on the pain meds. Probably gonna hurt like hell tomorrow morning.

Wow Al!!!
Talk about speedy recovery!
Glad to see you are home so quickly as they have no smoked goodies at the hospital cafe.
Keep up with the pain med schedule and remember you PT feels no pain. Following the PT regiment will speed your full recovery.

Glad you are home so soon . Did he mention a " nerve blocker " ? Tore my bicep off the bone and split my Rotator a few years back . Told me , take the pain meds now , because when the blocker wears off it's gonna hurt .
I didn't , and it did .

Wow! Holy crap, outpatient hip replacement? Did you know this going in? That is utterly fantastic.

You will likely be a bit sore tomorrow. As nimrod said, take your pain meds regularly and heed the Dr.'s instructions. Glad thing went well.

 

[cmayna]

Wow! and here I thought In N Out burger was fast.

 

[hardcookin]

Wow!!! Glad it was a success for You! I had no idea of the advancements in hip replacement

Hit the pain meds as soon as you feel a tingle. Your nerve block hasn’t worn off yet.
