They can still do the surgery they did on you for reasons and there are quite a few different types of surgery’s depending on the condition.  Hopefully though like some people who get tattoos, get one on one side then the other side wants one so hope that won’t happen but if it does it does.

Here in BC Canada they mostly now do the anterior hip replacement surgery which only requires a 4″ vertical incision as day surgery and send you home the same day, but when I had my right hip replacement surgery in September 2015 they still did the posterior 6″ incision which cuts across the muscle and is much more invasive than this newer anterior approach, so required a hospital stay of 2 days. There is lots of info on both procedures on the internet. The new anterior approach makes the 4″ incision in front of the hip and the old Posterior approach makes the 6″ incision from  behind the hip on the Glute (butt) muscle.

I too had to have a few classes on what to do post surgery; log roll, sitting on a toilet, going  up and down stairs, and other do’s and don’ts. … I opted for a spinal tap with a mild sedation so when the surgery was finished I came awake very quickly. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for two days post surgery but I was up walking the same evening of the surgery, walked the halls for hours with very little discomfort, and the next morning I asked to be released to go home…which after my doctor read the nurses reports, he approved.  Naturally I was very careful for the next few days and weeks but the whole thing was a “piece of cake”. My incision healed quickly and I have had no problem with that hip….and it’s been 9 years now.

Anyway, just a FYI of my experience, which again was Silverngold

I don’t know what kind of surgery you’ll have, for example one will have less sutures than another type of hip surgery. Either way there is a lot of  bacteria including antibiotic resistant in hospitals also colonized on hospital workers because of it like MARSA. It normally won’t bother you went healthy or a open area of the skin. So make sure you suture area is cleaned with NS dried and covered everyday. I noticed the longer suture lines were more prone to looking red and sometimes small drainage starting I could usually knock out with topical antibiotics when still superficial and usually found them with their bandage off more than once. So keep them on make sure they where gloves when cleaning and bandaging  cuz they could be carriers themselves. They don’t even test it in medical staff anymore or they’d have no staff lol

There seems to be a battle going on with pharma and colloidal silver as in not yet finding the evidence of certain adverse effects like nerve damage of what they claimed or thinking the colloidal silver with turn you into a blue Smurf  like it’s the same as other forms.

I did find that low dose colloidal silver is considered 10-30-ppm.

Couldn’t respond earlier, I had to text everyone I could think of to tell them not to pick up my daughter at the hospital she has to stay there. All those drugs she’s on she’s not  in right mind but if she doesn’t have them she’ll be i. Too much pain. Once she other left she wanted to leave too, he should of stayed.

Not too much information; thanks for lead on colloidal silver and good luck with your surgery.

One point about sleeping on your back. I, too, sometimes have trouble with my breathing and my throat seeming to close and sort of gagging. I find that lying with my head as low as possible is better than propping it up, forcing the chin towards the chest. The idea is to rotate the head in the other direction thereby opening up the throat. The most extreme would be to use no pillow, but I prefer to just sort of punch it around to get some support under my neck but still have the head back and down as much as possible. The only other way I think I could do it is in a recliner, but that doesn’t seem to be an option for you. But, yeah, you need to do your research ahead of time and find something that works. If you can’t get comfortable enough to sleep at least some, it’s going to be a tough row to hoe.

If you can talk to your anesthesiologist tell them about your breathing while laying flat on your back or your doctors to tell him or her.

You can move on the unaffected side for awhile but might be too much pain to move initially. When you do keep your body straight when turning, no twisting or moving one part upper lower by itself has to be together with something between your legs so your leg stays straight on affected hip. They might be able to raise the head of your bed a tiny bit and use pillows under your shoulders partially then one on top of that so you don’t push your head down obstructing breathing You will be medicated for awhile so that might help. Yeah I remember the tonsils thing. First I escaped and they couldn’t catch me so they called my mother. Then when they put the gas in my face I held my breath.That resulted in not getting enough and I woke up in the middle of surgery. The doctor a year later I found out when about 8 then got caught doing unnecessary surgeries and committed suicide. When I woke up during surgery I could see kids on gurneys lined up and he was going from one to the next and wasn’t wearing scrubs, none that I could see and the nurse wearing a white uniform wasn’t wearing gloves but did notice what he didn’t, I was awake.

Immune system up vita D C zinc with copper and good bone supplements.

Just got done taking to local relative and my daughters friends and told them they got her on all sorts of drugs enough to think their using chemical restraints to keep her in the hospital.

No worry’s, although medical kinda screws up my writing after so many years I still know it just don’t do it. I already figured it out.

I like the American Biotech labs stuff.  They claim special process to get the nano particles finer than most, for better absorbtion and effect.  I also use their silver gel for external wound healing.  Like the stuff they use on burns.

Met my surgeon today.  Still a long process ahead.  I need to get prepared… go to a preparatory ‘boot camp’ in December with my brother who will care for me here for the transition.  Surgery is now scheduled for Feb 10. I was hoping sooner, but the surgeon is a popular guy.

I need to get any dental work done before that to eliminate any possibility of mouth bacteria getting into my system.  I will need to do some stretching exercises also, as much as possible. And I gotta start intermittent fasting to lose some weight. Like Goldielocks says, they are very careful about not allowing any infections of the bone and the hardware they install.  He says it is real hard to kill an infection in the bone joint if it gets in there.

My best friend who had this done tells me I will need to sleep straight as a board also.  That’s going to be a problem for me as I am a ‘side sleeper’ and roll over frequently during the night.  I have an unusual amount of epiglottal tissue in my throat that is a real snoring and choking machine when I sleep on my back. I never had my tonsils removed as was all the rage when I was a kid.   Maybe need to prop me up with some pillows or something.  But I’m being awakened now when I roll over as the hip pain stabs me. So what’s new?

Saw my Xray.  No spacing left between the ball and socket, and I have some bone spurs around the edges from the grinding.  They ream all that out before installing a metal socket to bone, with a plastic cup insert.  Then a heavy ceramic ball on a stem that is pounded into the femur leg bone.  It’s a complex operation and I am expecting a lot of bone pain immediately afterwards.  I gotta remember to tell him Morphine does not work for me.  After my colon resection, two doses did nothing right out of surgery. Then I had to wait several hours in pain for it to wear off before they gave me Fentanyl.  That worked.

OK… too much information?

OMG! –  i may have done a horrible thing – a definite Mea Culpa.

Here is the original #10 text >> “Push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress”

In my defense, i  was rushing when I made my post.  I assumed that the Reader Comment I pasted was a ‘voice to text’ transcript.

So as i gave the text one last quick read, when I read #10, I assumed it was a typo and changed “imposed” to “opposed” without thinking.

I wish now that i didn’t do that without proper documentation.   but as i said – i was rushing…

Personally, I could make a good argument for EITHER – it all depends on the individual case.
