+ 2 years 38 days (hip #1)


Not sure if I should still be titling these blogs with a post transplant date but they do all count. I have passed most of the hurdles but it can truly take 10 years for my body to be fully and completely settled with the new me. I think I will keep it for now as I don't have any other interesting blog titles. 
So things are going good. We just had the first hip replacement Friday and I was home from it Sunday. Yes- 48 hours is all it took. That’s OK with me.  I have spent more time in a hospital than I would have liked over the past 2+ years. I still go to the Mayo Hospital for appointments just about every week but its a whole different story when you spend the night.  
As for hip recovery process, we are still working out the finer details. As it stands right now, I will be home for about 2 weeks dealing with pain meds and mobility issues. Then as I move to using a cane and have better mobility, I will work from home and ease back into the office routine. If all goes as expected, this hip will be better than before and we can move on to the right hip and take another step to the newest version of me. 


As always thanks everyone for the continued well wishes.
Take Care All. 

Just thought I would throw a recent photo in with this post, it was taken 6 days per-surgery.
