Well, it's over.  I now have 2 titanium hips.  I ought to really set off some alarms at the airport!  The pain sucks, thank God for the morphine machine, the hypos of some other pain killer and the pain pills.  Yep, I needed it all and it is still miserable pain and although I sort of knew this was going to happen you never really imagine it will be as bad as it end up!  I was hoping it wouldn't hurt as bad as last time.  I mean last time my whole thigh was sliced up but  even though the two incisions are much smaller it still hurts like hell.  All I can say about that is it will get better but it won't happen overnight.  I am being a patient patient!

 

Today I sat in a chair in my room for almost 2 hours.  Later in the day i was to go for my first walk but i really wasn't up to it.  I felt too dizzy and weak to do it and told the physical threapist I would be waiting until morning.
