Title: hip fixed or is it
Post by: hootn on December 08, 2011, 08:02:49 AM
time will tell, havent been able to put any weight on it and will not be  able for a bit. got home late monday evening. i think it was after lunch when they wheeled me into surgery. dr said there was more damage than he thought, looking at the ct scan taken year and half ago. hell i could have told him that. heck i think the wear was making it better for me so to speak. but he said everything is better now. just got to get this thing ready for march 15th.

Therapy is a pain in the butt ,but it will be over before you know it. The turkeys don't stand a chance.

I agree with others about Physical Therapy.  It's important!

Physical therapists will have you doing things you will believe are stupid, can't possibly help, are a waste of time or are totally ridiculous.  PT's aren't stupid.  They know what seemingly silly thing you need to do to help you heal right.

Give what they ask you to do an honest effort.  Stick with it and don't quit.

If something isn't healing right, the physical therapist will be your best ally to get your Doctor to address it.  They can't be your ally, if you don't do what they ask or quit before the PT discharges you.

I wish you the best on your recovery!
