Here’s an update:
I entered the hospital early Monday morning for hip replacement surgery and in a very short period of time — a little over two hours — my doctor told my husband Jose, that it all went well. He even handed him a small x-ray showing the new device secure in its place.
I’m scheduled to be in the hospital for three days and the physical therapy team assigned to me hopes to have me walking down the corridor by the end of today, my second full day.
My husband was kind enough to develop an email blast list, containing the names of family, friends, colleagues, etc. This allows him to write one letter and send via the list which then goes out to our circle of support. Well wishes have poured in from Tucson to Tel Aviv to Toronto. One friend who was at the Pyramids in Egypt even wrote saying he was “sending the power of the pyramids” to me as he thought about me. Flowers have started, with one NTC friend, ending a lovely bouquet of pink, yellow and orange flowers.
My hope is that I will be posting once again as soon as Friday of this week. Stay tuned, thanks for checking in and for all your good wishes.
Hope all goes well with the rehab, take care,
Jim
Thanks!
I’ve been looking forward to your write-ups of your experiences! Keep well, my friend.
Good to hear the surgery went well, take good care!
I hope you had a good day being “Halled” and that your physical therapy continues to go well.
Thanks! I decided to be utterly foolish and wore a Canadian flag as my superhero cape (to hide the gap from those nasty hospital gowns…)
Looking good – now, stay good!
