Scott
Oh yeah and Scott is doing great - well, he may disagree with "great" but I think he is. He walked with his walker to the end of his bed and back yesterday, but getting back into bed is a tough one. Yesterday afternoon he seemed to be getting stronger by the hour. He's going to try stairs in his therapy on Saturday! Isn't that amazing? Well, he had some ups and some downs yesterday, and listening to his blood-curling scream when the nurses flipped him over without bringing his hurt leg with him almost made me vomit. Oh. My. God. That part was horrible. But he is feeling better and will be coming home Saturday or Sunday. He's on special restrictions for 6 weeks because of the extent of the surgery (removing much more bone growth than expected) but he will hopefully be up and around by this weekend. He should just need help in and out of bed. AND he's doing great with his physical therapy, he does his little exercises over and over, he's very intent about it. I think he's in better spirits mostly - well also because it's over - but also because it was obvious from the surgery that he really needed it done. I think he was never really sure that the hip replacement was the answer, and who wants to go through that surgery only to find out it was something entirely different that was wrong? But all the bone growth was proof that there was no other answer. Now as soon as this side heals (sometime after 6 weeks) he can have the other side done, and that's the side that has really been bothering him. Okay, that's my update for now. I gotta finish work and get to the hospital. Posted by Pischina at August 19, 2005 1:09 PMComments
