Please Help!

My father just got his second hip replacement on Wednesday. It is not a revised it's a thr on his other hip. Since Friday his hip has been dislocated three times in the hospital. Everyone at the hospital and friends of hers are telling my mother that it is normal, but I am very concerned. My mother feels that if they leave it in God's hands everything will be ok, but I on the other hand want a second opinion and some answers. How common is it for your hip to dislocate that many times or at all right after a thr. His thr on his other hip never dislocated. Please help!
Thanks!

I'm so sorry to hear that your poor dad has to go through this complication on top of surgery. First and foremost what does his surgeon have to say? Is it something concrete or does he give you vague answers.
Second, what do they do to get it back into position.
I would not let them release your dad until this is resolved...you don't need to be at home worrying about this not to mention the pain it is causing your dad.
Stand firm and don't let the authorities bully you as you are entitled to some answers. Patricia from Toronto Canada

The surgeon just keeps saying that it's normal. Unfortunately, the surgeon that did his first thr retired before he decided to go ahead and get the second one done. They finally ordered some x-rays this morning and I'm waiting for my mother to call with the results.
Apparently they are pushing it back into the socket to get it to go back in. My poor Dad is in so much pain and so drugged up I just feel terrible.
When he is released he will be going to a rehabilitation center for a couple weeks.
It's just so frustrating because my mother is so cavalier with all of his health problems and I feel he doesn't get the proper care as a result.

I have read up so much on this in the last couple days and surgeons themselves are telling me this is not common.
I'm going to try to convince him to get a different surgeon on board because over my dead body will I let the same knucklehead open him back up!

I'm sorry...your poor dad.....he must be in agony.
Dislocations do happen but is it normal to happen 3 times in a short space? I would say no definitely not.
Your mam thinks it will be OK if left in God's hands....OK I'm a Christian but God works through surgeons {who dont seem to be doing a great job at the minute}
I know God is the Healer but like I say.....thats why there are surgeons/doctors/pharmicists and medice on this earth. Prayer mixed with medicines are good but not just to sit back and expect God to do it without any help from us.
Sorry I'm preaching
Take care and let us know what happens
Love
Eileen
