They didn’t send you to a rehab center first? Are they going to be doing outpatient rehab for you?

I’m glad to hear everything worked out well, Drifter. Did you get the extended warranty on the new hardware?

I would think they would have kept you at the hospital if there was a discharge.

Glad to hear you are home and doing reasonably well Drifter. Be cautious and careful getting around until the wheels heal a little bit. It would have been nice to have heard you were in a rehab center for awhile first.

Hopefully his insurance payment is settled before a repo man shows up at the door.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Good to hear you're recovering well, Drifter. Did you end up doing your therapy with home health? My experience with home health has been great.

That is great Drifter. It amazes me what they can do these days. Hip replacement just sounds so painful, and scary as hell to boot.

Sammy, it was a little scarey but...... I had complete faith in my surgeon, a Dr. Rishi Gupta......

Here's his website: https://www.cfaortho.com/our-doctors/170...Gupta,_M.D.

As for the pain, nothing more than the usual post operative stuff and that's being controlled with medication
