misterfeet's blog: "news"

so its almost 2 weeks after surgery, i'm stuck on crutches for awhile yet, but all in all i'm getting around pretty effin' good.  i have the hard core pain meds and some physical therapy exercises that I do 3x a day.  sitting at a computer desk is a bit uncomfortable, right now i'm in a recliner with the laptop, but to be honest i miss my damn mouse.  this finger pad crap is not for me.

evidently i lucked into a great surgeon with my referral from my family doctor.  he uses larger hip parts (than most dr's) to replace the originals with, which makes the joint stronger and should allow me to do all of the activities that i enjoy after healing.  in fact, he said i have absolutely no limitations whatsoever, as long as i can accept whatever pain comes with an activity, the joint can stand up to that activity.  i'm told he also inserts the joint at a different place than is typically used during hip replacements, which results in faster healing time.

the dr told me that with the size of the bone spurs he removed, that he is sure my life will be much more enjoyable now.  i'm already walking better than i had been before the surgery, altho with crutches, i still needed support to go any distance before.  also the limp was wrecking my lower back and my knee, those pains are completely gone.  i'm amazed at how much better my entire body feels.

i sure could use a beer tho :p

thanks to everyone for the well wishes!  i have a lot of mail to go thru so its going to take me awhile to get back to everyone.  lmao at logging in and having shouts from strangers asking me to make them pix.  gonna try and start logging in a bit more often, but at any rate, have a great holiday weekend.

thanks to everyone that has kept in touch during my recovery, special thanks to Bunnz, Carrie, Misfit, and Vixen that have written almost every single day.
