Friday was sort of a blur but I made it! The nurse came in to give me the "I don't Care" medicine and that is the last thing that I remember before waking up in recovery 4 hours later. The 1.5 hour surgery ended up taking 3 hours! Dr K said that my hip was in worse shape than what he thought so it took extra care and time getting it right and I appreciate that. He was able to re-shape my femur head and remove most of the bone spurs. I am just so relieved that it is OVER and I can move forward!
Getting around on crutches is more of a pain than anything and honestly...I feel like I could walk without them but I will follow orders and use them. Sigh. Physical Therapy starts tomorrow and we will be hitting it hard. I visited with PT today and he is still in shock that the procedure wasn't covered by Tricare...but that...I could write a book about!
Thank you all for the well wishes!
Logan insisted on trying out my CPM machine. I have to use it 4 hours on/4 hours off. :)
