Had my second hip replaced. Left at 3:00 am and drove about 65 miles in a snowstorm. Got checked into surgery center at about 5:00 am. Got wheeled into the hip replacement room at 7:00 am. Same doctor that replaced my left one 12 years ago. He is GOOD. Got discharged at about 11:30 am and came home in the sunniest day yet I think in 2023. Pulled into garage at about 12:45 pm. Post operative pain hasn't kicked in yet. Hip pain is gone. They inject a numbing solution in the muscle that works like a long lasting novacain. Maybe tomorrow for the muscle/incision pain. |
