On October 8th I had hip replacement surgery….I was in the hospital until the 13th when they transferred my to a local rehab place. And I stayed there until October 23rd. On Friday the 24th I went home. It was a lovely sunny day. I was doing well. I had had a half hour of Physical Therapy and a half hour of occupational therapy every day…
But Saturday I woke up with terrible pain in the groin when I tried to walk and lots of drainage. The pain was intense – a 9 or even a 10 when I tried to walk with the walker. I tried to do the exercises I could do. Yesterday Dr. Wilcox saw me in the afternoon. The x-ray showed that everything looked ok. He prescribed a new pain medication and a covid test which happened today. Thursday morning they are doing another small surgery to see if there is an infection or reason for the drainage……..I hope they can find a reason for all this. I am not sure if they will keep me in the hospital. I hope this will all resolve in a good way. It’s a bit discouraging at the moment, but “this too shall pass”,
I hope they figure it out and that it is soon resolved. I know you’re ready to get back to normal, or closer anyway. So sorry for the set back! 😦 Been thinking about you a lot and wondering how you were progressing.
Poor you, having to go through such pain! They can hopefully sort it out soon and it is not a major problem.
Love the autumn picture! Is it from where you live, or near your family’s summer house by the lake?
This is my backyard in Ohio….
This seems alarming. I hope they figure it out.
Well damnation! Thursday is tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you!
That is a beautiful photograph, the colours are wonderful.
I am so sorry to read about the pain and discomfort you are currently experiencing, I hope they can speedily get things sorted for you.
Saying a prayer and thinking of you.
All the best Jan
Kristi, dear friend, thanks for the report on your surgery. I thought you’d fly through it without a hitch. Your recovery began so well. Please let us know soon what the cause of such terrible pain is. I’m just so glad you have so many helpful family members nearby and Andy right there.
Oh boo hiss on this setback. Praying that they’ll soon have it figured out and you’ll be back to recuperating full steam ahead with no pain, no complications, and no discouragements. Thinking of and praying for you, Kristi.
Love,
Vee
Very sorry to hear this — although glad the the major op is over. Fingers crossed for a very quick and pain free resolution.
As I write it is Thursday (albeit a different time zone) and I am sending ‘good luck’ thought waves across the Atlantic. So glad you have Andy and your family with you.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, Kristi. I’m hoping it all improves very quickly for you. Sending you aloha from Hawaii.
I am finally getting over here. I hope that now the pain has been dealt with and you are alright. I feel so badly this happened. They make it sound like these operations are no big deal, but they really are. Hope to hear from you soon, Kristi.
Peeking in and tiptoeing out… Hope to find you home soon. 🕊
How are you doing now, Kristi? May God grant you strength and courage, and peace! ❤
Just stopping by to say hello, you are in my thoughts.
All the best Jan
Hello Kristi! This is Kay just stopping by to say hey. It is now 2021 and I am wishing you a happy new year and good health. Praying that your health has improved since you did your last post. Peace of God be with you this day and remain with you always. Love, Kay
Hi Kristi,
I keep circling around looking for a post. I hope your absence means that you are focusing on the best things in life. Anyway, just wanted to say that I have missed you.
Love,
