PITBULL Posted July 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2008 Well wifey had her hip replacement yesterday. Doc said everthing looks real good. So far she isnt in too much pain....so far. Today they are gonna get her up and walking. Guess we will see how that goes. The staff where she is at has been great. The only thing she was worried about was that she had to have a spinal. She said it wasnt too bad. But shes an animal..."Not too bad" for her would drop most folks. LOL. I stayed the night with her and just ran home to shower and feed the dogs. Now I gotta strap the walker ( which she doesnt like HAHHA) to the back of the bike and motor back to the Orthapedic center where she is. I will keep ya posted.

PBJ Posted July 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2008 Tell her to hang in there after the post op pain is gone shes going to feel so much better. My wife had the operation 3 years ago. My brother-in-law got a walker and put a headlight, horn,mirrors, saddle bags and reflectors on it so that when she was walking around she at least looked like she was riding. But at least no more constant pain with every movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosebud Posted July 22, 2008 Share #5 Posted July 22, 2008 You will have a hard time keeping up with your wife after she has healed. My mother had her hip replaced about 6 years ago at the young age of 82. Today at 88 she's walking 2 - 3 miles a day and swimming when the weather cooperates. She is going to feel so much better! Give her our best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcruiser Posted July 23, 2008 Share #11 Posted July 23, 2008 for a complete and quick recovery! Be sure she follows through wiith the post-op therapy and exercises. After a few months you'll have a hard time keeping up with her! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted July 23, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 23, 2008 My best wishes for a speedy and drama free recovery. Your comment about the walker made me laugh, but it also brought a question to mind. Does this mean you can get a handicap hangtag and park in the handicap slots WITH THE BIKE? Inquiring minds couldn't possibly want to know!
