How My Revision Went
Posted , 10 users are following.
Yesterday showed up at 10am for surgery scheduled at 12 noon. Surgery went much longer then expected so I ended up in my room about 7:30pm.
I had my previous surgery June 20th of this year, making it 12 weeks. I'm 48 and live in the states.
I had iliopsoas tendinosis or too much tension on ny groin tendons. (FLEXOR muscle group).
With that problem I had severe pain and inflammation in my groin and thigh. Any lifting of the leg in front was painful, so no hiking or walking up stairs like a reg person. If I tried to do exercises or swim I would pay dearly later.
So today My OS came in and told me about my revision. He wanted to replace the stem with onw thst had a shorter neck, which would pull my leg closer to my pelvis and tried that but it was way too close and would touch pelvis to hip. So he opted for a different implant with a smaller ball to release some tension on that tendon. They al so cut or released part of a tendon.
So today I went to PT twice but only from my chair because I was waiting on blood for a transfusion because I'm very low and so light headed I couldn't do the standing exercises with the walker. < i="" could="" do="" those="" easily="" with="" my="" first="" surgery="">
Walking using a walker was a challenge because my leg won't come forward. I had to pull my shorts tight around my thigh and pull my leg forward.
I'm not going to push it, I'm just going to take it slow because I know I'll have to strengthen different muscles to be able to walk again. It's going to be a long process I think.
I have a huge booty on one side. They cut into the same scar area so I can just imagine how well that will heal. NOT PRETTY! Lots of scar tissue since I have a lot of junk in my trunk. 😃
I'll be in hospital a couple more days then back home.
I didn't have to pay since it was a revision within 90 days. I was worried about that. My first surgery is costing me about 4500.00 that's with insurance. My part is 10%.
Just sitting in the recliner dreading the bathroom stall.
I have to say I am loving their food. So much good stuff!! Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and spinach for luch, tuna melt, veggie soup and a bomb Cobb salad. Oh and cheesecake. They say during healing you burn 1500- 2000 calories! So they feed us yummy.
Staff is wonderful here a Good Samaritan too.

I am feeling better just very very swollen.
Last night I was iceing my leg and my husband brought me a Jamba Juice (ice slushy) oh my gosh, my groin started cramping and spasming and went into my thigh and it just started jerking like crazy. I I rang the nurse and said I need heat NOW! She says "oh no, can't give you heat" I said "You give me heat now please I know what I need." She brought me two heated blankets and we placed them on my thigh and the spasms stopped immediately.
That was crazy! LoL 😲 just goes to show we know what we need. They were going to give me shots! So now I don't eat ice chips or ice water. Just lukewarm water or hot tea and coffee.
I haven't let them medicate me too much. I onlytake a third of a percocet. I don't like the carry over into the next day from Vicodin.

Oh and my site is posterior. Cut through the exact spot from last time. It as sealed with a "plastic surgery" seal. That's what my surgeon calls it. No stitches are visible. There is a big sheet of clear tape, plastic wrap looking stuff- its waterproof.. I'll take a shower tomorrow here at the hospital.
Not sure if I'm going home tomorrow or what😕

It sure hurts like hell. Seems worse then the first but oh well I will know more within the next couple months. It is so different once we'very had these surgeries we are well aware of just how long things take to get to a point where they feel better. It sure isn't what they tell us in the beginning! Not even close!
I hope you feel better and I will say a prayer for you too DD💚💛💜

The surgeon originally was only going to place a smaller neck to relieve the tension on the tendon . That didn't work out in the surgery room so they made the ball smaller and released the tendon. I think released does not mean cut all the way through, I think it's cut at an angle or something I'll ask again at my appt on Thurs.
I am in the US. In San Jose CA.
