Good luck with the new hip.
Thanks.
Waking up after the surgery, realizing that you can not move half of your lower body, is the worst of it. Or you think so until you have to fart or something that demands involuntary movements down below.
At least that is what you think, knowing you are done moving for a day or two, until an A-Team of large nurses stands you up and makes you take a few steps, barely conscious after four and a half hours of general anesthesia.
(REALLY!!???!!)
It is amazing how quickly they set you on the road to recovery these days!
Now, fives weeks after surgery, I am still on pain meds, but I am doing great in physical therapy.
