I've got a date with a surgeon

[falalalala]

for August 12th!

Another 2 months of sitting on my broken butt.

I think I can do this.😅😅

That's him on the right.

[Peruzzot]

Best of luck on getting pain free fast.

[falalalala in reply to Peruzzot]

Thanks!

[starlight5]

wow! surprised at the delay. Are you able to hobble around at all at this point or supposed to stay off your feet completely?

[falalalala in reply to starlight5]

Me too! Nope, can't put weight on it yet and he said my leg is an inch shorter. That is my "good" leg too, so I've got to get something done.

If I had broken the hip on my MS-y leg, I might not have had anything done as it needs to be taught a lesson for being such a jerk.😂😂😂

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Are they going to do the surgery by going through the front or the back of the hip? My husband had double hip surgery and they went in the back of the hip. There is little to no cutting of the muscles, and he went to severe pain before surgery, to zero pain after surgery. His recovery was very quick as well. That was 7 years ago. I hope that your surgery and recovery is as successful as his was. 🤗

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

Thanks, that's good to hear he's doing well.

They're going in through the front.

After recovery, did your hub regain full mobility? My concern is bending at the potter's wheel.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Yes, full mobility. They discourage things like jogging, sitting Indian style, but that’s about it. He did do PT and that is key because they show you how to do things that help and not hurt.

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

That is good news.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

You will be okay, and out of pain, falalalala . My husband was amazed that he was pain free, almost immediately after surgery. He was in pain for many years because of his hips. He didn’t have to suffer needlessly and should have had it done sooner! Glad that he did it!

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

😀😀😀

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

LOL! When I get restless leg syndrome just on the one side, I often tell my hubby that my leg is being an a__hole. But yours sounds more troublesome! 🤣

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

😅😅😅

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador]

Hopefully, your husband understands,  falalalala ! 😆 Just teasing!

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

He has yet to sign the permission slip.😂😂

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

That’s hilarious, falalalala 😝

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

I even bought him a nice set of pens!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Getting all official, falalalala ? 😆

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

😆😆

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

😂😂

[erash]

why so long and are they doing an ORIF or hip replacement…if I’m too nosy, ignore 🤪

[falalalala in reply to erash]

That, I do not know. He's a very busy kid! 😅It surprised me too.

He wants to do a partial hip replacement. It's a compression fracture at the femoral neck.

[erash in reply to falalalala]

I guess busy means he's popular and in demand because he's good 👍

[falalalala in reply to erash]

Or he'll be on vacation at the Betty Ford Clinic.

Ya never know!🤣

[erash in reply to falalalala]

Oy! 🥸

[falalalala in reply to erash]

😅

[Greentime in reply to falalalala]

😂

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

Bring a portable breathalyzer with you!

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

😅

[AquaZumbaFan in reply to falalalala]

I hear Betty Ford clinic is very nice this time of year and don’t trust the doc on the left because I think he is holding the film upside down… Lol 😂

[falalalala in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

😅😅

[CatsandCars in reply to erash]

That's what I was thinking!

[Xvettech]

wow! I’m sorry you have to wait so long! I also hope you do good during sx and before!

[falalalala in reply to Xvettech]

It is weird because they act like your ready to die unless you act now.

The surgeon looks very young so I expect my future x rays to show the "LEGO Hip Replacement Set"🤣

[Xvettech in reply to falalalala]

😂

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

🤣🤣🤣

[Xvettech]

it is weird. I agree

[lbenmaor]

Good Luck!

Leslie

[falalalala in reply to lbenmaor]

Thanks!

[CatsandCars]

Sorry you have to wait so long, but having a date can be better than being in limbo. Best of luck to you! ❤️

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

Thanks!

[Greentime in reply to CatsandCars]

I misread better than doing the limbo! 😂😳

[CatsandCars in reply to Greentime]

🤣 That's hilarious. It's funny how sometimes misreading or mishearing things makes them funnier. The limbo was fun when we were younger, but I don't think it wouldn't be too fun now! 😄

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

You have to prove you can limbo before they'll release you from the hospital.😆

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

That would be very bad! 🤣🤣🤣

[Greentime in reply to falalalala]

🤣

[falalalala in reply to Greentime]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Mollyabigail]

August 12??? That makes me mad. I am sorry you must wait so long.

[falalalala in reply to Mollyabigail]

Thanks, me too

[Stomper22]

how exciting!

[falalalala in reply to Stomper22]

Yes, it is a thrill.

[Jer29-11]

Oh no! So sorry to hear you have to wait so long! Maybe you can be plugged in earlier if the surgeon has any cancellations? Ortho surgeons are always trying to fit extra people in the schedule, lol! I’m an OR nurse and in on these surgeries frequently. You’ll feel so much better after surgery! Keep us posted 😊

[falalalala in reply to Jer29-11]

That'd be good but I am used to it at this point.

[goatgal]

Looks like he's eager to fix you up! An adjustment or two, a bit of pruning, a tap here and there and off you'll go. And since he'll be doing topiary work all July, by August he'll be at the top of his game.

[falalalala in reply to goatgal]

😅😅

[Robsmom]

Wow! Sorry you have to wait so long, but rest on your broken but and stay cool. Hopefully, afterwards you'll be pain-free.

[falalalala in reply to Robsmom]

Thanks!

[Cutefreckles72]

Hang in there. You can do it. 👍

[falalalala in reply to Cutefreckles72]

Thank you!

[stepsforNeeC]

Praying for the best!

[falalalala in reply to stepsforNeeC]

Thank you!

[Tazmanian]

Good luck

[falalalala in reply to Tazmanian]

Thanks!

[Biggums]

Thank you for the humor.
