I’m Baaack…

Reading all these infection stories is scary.  My surgeon is meticulous & had me doing whole-body surgical scrubs with chlorhexidine for three days before surgery. No skin infections allowed because a bone infection is very hard to get rid of, and may result in hardware removal later!   Wheeled into the Ortho OR was a trip!  It looked like an automotive chop-shop.  Long stainless workbench in back full of a tool slut’s dreams.  Drills, saws, mallets, tools, and parts galore!  Nevermind masks.  Nurses & Docs wore full-body iso-balloon suits!

Day 3 and I’m doing well.  Hip bears weight fine.  Now it’s like recovering from a giant muscle sprain with torn tendons.  That stuff takes 6-8 weeks to reconnect & heal & stretch.  Lots of PT ahead.

Nothing like being an old bionic Hippie!  🙂
