Time catches up with all of us, and time has caught up with the Ladyfisher’s left hip. An x-ray showed that the joint is beyond recovery and needs replacement. Will be headed home from Arizona after Easter and straight into our orthopedic surgeons office. Total hip replacement is on our calendar for this summer. Prayers appreciated.
Ladyfisher will be back on her feet and thinking about standing in a stream before she knows it. My wife has had both hips replaced due to rheumatoid. Barb’s surgery were 10 years apart the second scar was 1/3rd of the first. The rehab will be painful, I’m sure the doctors will tell her to take the painkillers before she needs them. We will be praying for the best.
You know you both will be in our thoughts and prayers. They have come a long way with hip replacement and I know that therapy is the only way to the fastest recovery. There is pain involved with therapy but it is short lived and you can bounce back rather quickly. Please keep us posted.
May the Creator be with you both and give you strength.
Deanna, you and Neil and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated. Don’t forget to get a picture of your first, post surgery fish.
the fish will still be there so make sure you give yourself an extended recovery time. I had two setbacks already because I tried to get back on the water too quickly.
