Got That New Hip!
 

Well 4AM comes pretty but I'd rather be the first of the day than the last!! The surgery went smoothly and lasted about three houirs. Now I am the proud owner of a Stryker hip!

Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers! I have a real issue with operations and knowing my CA family was there for me really helps!!

God bless you all!

Glad to hear everything went well, I have 2 stryker hips and mine came with a 20 yr warranty for both...Did they go in through the side or the front?

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Through the side using an existing scar. 50yr warranty with a potential to have a lainer in 20. Boy has tech improved!!

Good luck in your recovery Jeff! I had a Stryker knee put in several years ago and only have one thing to say, with a good surgeon and good parts like Stryker, your life has changed for the better after some rehab. The more work you put into the rehab, the more complete your recovery!:tu

Day one of recopvery is going great! I have already been out on a walker and crutches and they are talking about me going home tomorrow!!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Glad to hear the good news!!!:noon

Get well soon!!!:tu

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Good to hear...have they had you on the steps yet? that was the hurdle I had to clear in order to be sent home...Still rehabbing my left hip which was done late Oct 2010 but having issues with the right which was done by the same surgeon Jun 2009. It's a long process and like someone else said the more you take the rehab at home seriously the quicker you'll be on your own two feet again

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

I'm scheduled to do the stair test first thing tomorrow morning, if I do well I may get to go home! It may still be friday though but I am ok with that. I am so amazed at how different things are nowadays. I had a femoral osteotomy 17 years ago and was in the hospital for two weeks! And now they get me up the next morning and out of bed!

I have a titanium socket with this new plastic liner that is supposed to last 50 years, apparently it is the latest and greatest that they only give to young people. I am excited about this new lease on a painless life!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Welcome to the NEW HIP CLUB:tu

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Glad to be here!

Looks like a Friday discharge now, would be safe I think.

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

I have the ceramic features...I'm told I won't squeek for some time and I'll never need to change the oil...oh and I don't sound like the 6 million dollar man when I move...

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Love that they give it a badass name and glad all went well.
Enjoy your recuperation. Probably gonna need a few more smokes to pass all that time, aren't you?

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

So glad all went well Jeff!

Keep us posted.

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

:wo GREAT to hear, my friend!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

PTL, brother!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

I have been Hugh, I have been! Given the fears that I had and potential complications that could have come up things were guided along nicely I am sure!!

Jeff - I shoulda packed a travel humi! The weather here is awesome now!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Congrats Jeff!! Glad things are going well.

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Hope everything goes well, Jeff! Technology is pretty dang good!

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Awesome Jeff! I glad you are doing well. I wish you a speedy recovery. P.s. The Stryker hip is what I've got too it's treated me great. 14 hour retail days not a problem. Just make sure to do your part with PT. Good luck brother.

Re: Got That New Hip!
 

Great news Jeff. Truly an answer to prayer that everything went well and your pain free.

Re: Got That New Hip!
