Yeah - 2nd Replacement Completed
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi fellow Hippies!
Well I had my 2nd replacement done today and so far so good. I feel great, no nausea. They took my issues last time into account and changed their formula a bit. Still a spinal though. Pain is minimal but that could reflect the effects of good drugs! Even got up on the commode instead of the dreaded bed pan! Anyway here's hoping tomorrow goes as well.
Hope all of you are doing well!

Thanks very much Annette. I'm hoping for sleep as I believe I managed 2 hours last night! Still doing well though.

Hey Fiona sounds like you're doing good ! I'm 23 days post op RTHR, going good. Glad you're feeling well enough to drop in and say hello! I remember they had me up and waking 2 hours out of surgery. Not very far or fast but moving mostly pain free. Wish you a speedy recovery, slow and steady, it takes a while. At 3 weeks just just getting around with one crutch most of the time. Feeling stronger every day. Dave 63380

Well done to you. Yes the drugs do wonderful things. I am 12 days post op of my second hip rep and so far so good. This one feels different and felt less traumatic in the wound area. Let me know if yours feels different when you get going. All the best Polly

Hi Fiona,
I'm just down the road in London, Ontario. I also had the lateral...no restrictions according to my surgeon. He is relatively new, so I don't know if this is a newer technique, since I don't hear of it often. Also no cath since this will prevent urinary infections. In London, there is another surgeon who does thr as day surgery. Yep, you go home the same day, after Pt has you up and walking and the stairs. Patients are chosen carefully and I think about 20 a year are done with good success. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks Chloe. I was very determined as I hated the bedpans first time round. Today I'm aiming for needing no help!

I had one too for 24 hours. What a blessing. After ... I tried to use a 'deluxe feminine urinal' (a glorified bottle with a wide mouth and a handle that helped me through a major accident years ago). However, it wasn't easy for me to use this time as it was such a struggle to get vertical enough to use it effectively. And ... I may not have been iuas clear-thinking ...
I was 'swarmed by killer fruit flies'! Actually a figment of my over-anaesthetized brain that had me get out of bed on my own in the middle of the night, through our ward door and out to the nursing station looking for a nurse to disperse them! I think I may have looked/sounded just a wee bit maddddd. 😨 And no one could figure out how I got that far on my own 8 hours after surgery.
Amazing what one can manage to do when 'motivated'!
Have a great day Annette.
Hugs,
Linda

That would really help. I don't know why they don't do that here. I was totally frozen for a long time and couldn't feel a thing. I made them help me as I knew it had to be time. Could easily have been an accident!
Hope you're having a great day!
Hugs,
Fiona - still waiting for PT and OT to arrive. Apparently they come together the first time.
