Well, I made it.
When the doc got in there, the hip socket was slightly worse than expected. Cartilage was gone and I had started bone-on-bone contact.
But all went well and I'm chock full of titanium. Light weight and rust free!
The last 2 days have been a blur (Vicodin + Oxycontin=Good Nice Alice!) but they had me up and walking 10 hours after surgery! 20 feet, 40 feet, 60 feet. I'll run a post route this afternoon. Took the IV, oxygen, calf inflaters out this morning. But, man, when they took that catheter out
That will wake you up! Never had one of those before and not sure lil buddy's looking forward to another one!
They say I'm doing well and should be ready to go home tomorrow evening. Gotta go potty by myself and walk a loop around the nurse's station.
Thanks again for the well wishes and I'll miss yall at breakfast!
