Not really, we just like the name…
I had my first post-op checkup today:
There’s one more week of at-home physical therapy left to go and then I switch over to twice-a-week outpatient therapy for about 6 weeks.
So far, so good. Â I had my right hip replacement surgery on November 7th. Â All went well and my hospital stay ended on November 9th.
I’m recovering at my daughter an son-in-law’s house for the next two weeks or so. Two weeks of in-home physical therapy and visiting nurses sticking needles into me have begun. Â And last but not least, I’m wearing T.E.D. stockings, which are to say the least, a Royal PITA.
If you are reading this post, you probably know whether your candidate will be President of the United States for the next four years (unless there is another outbreak of “hanging chads”). And, I am probably in INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital getting a “bionic” right hip to match my three year old bionic left hip.
My bionic left hip is 1133 days old today. I usually walk at least four miles or more per day so that’s another 1400+ miles on it over the past year or. It is still going strong, but I think my natural born right hip might be on the way out. I’m hoping it will hold on until fall. Summer is definitely not the season to break in a new bionic hip.
My bionic left hip is 736 days old today. I usually walk at least four miles or more per day so guess I need to call the doctor’s office and see if I need go in for a 3000 mile checkup. On the other hand, maybe I should just leave well enough alone as the hip is doing just fine.
My bionic left hip is is one year and two days old today. And I just got back from my one-year checkup. The X-Ray shows all the metal is still in same position as last year, which is a good thing.
Got the X-Ray taken, waited about 20 minutes for doctor, who spent about five minutes with me, followed by another 20 minutes waiting to get a copy of the X-Ray.
