I'm OK

 It's day three of my hip adventure. I am OK.


Sleeping in bed is not comfortable, so I have moved to my recliner.

So far the pain is manageable without opioids. We got the vomiting under control pretty fast this time. My hip is very stiff and sore when I first get up, But is gets better when I do laps with my walker around the house.

Tom is a great care provider. It's lot of up and down for him so he's earning his good night's sleep.

I am managing our steps up to the second floor quite well, and did so the day of the surgery.

Thanks for all of your good thoughts and wishes.

  1. Linda, it is so good to see you! I've been thinking about you since Monday. I'm glad to hear you are doing well and I know Tom is taking very good care of you. I understand sleeping in the recliner because sometimes the flatness of a bed is just not what you need to be comfortable. Please take things slow and easy and give your body time to heal. You have all my healing thoughts and good wishes!

  6. Dear Linda, I, too, am glad to read that things went well for you. Not so for our country ... Georgia did well, but not Washington, DC. It is so scary, I never thought anything like this would happen ever here. Imagine a president encouraging violence. I want to go to bed, cover my head and cry. I think you are in a good place to be right now ... at home and well cared for. Wishing you continued improvement, Jane.
