You make it sound like sensation-free hip joints are a bad thing.
I WISH I couldn't feel mine.
Well, having the top parts of your femur sawn off and a titanium prosthesis installed, replacing what was sawn through and removed to the medical waste facility is only recommended in the most dire of circumstances.
I was at a point where I was really looking forward to having this done for me. I had given up on a great many things to arrive at this point.
All is well, as long as the pain meds and the "invaded body, tolerance promoting, anti-rejection meds" continue to work.
Hang in there big fella.
Yeah, thanks
Three months out now and I am skipping the cane as often as I can. I am fighting my way back to being the man I was before this second surgery.
My surgeon is amazed at how quickly I have mustered through this latest ...
Honestly, every time I move it hurts, like twenty times worse than the worst bad beating I have had, but I have learned from my first surgery, that I will never win, until I just suck it up an take the pain, then push myself to all I know I am capable of withstanding.
Each morning is a nightmare of intensely brutal pain, but each night of rest and rejuve is pure paradise.
Looking forward to finishing a few projects. Construction projects are a great way of feeling healed. I have a few sound system projects in the works, as is my passion.
It is one day at a time, Pal.
Thanks for caring.
