Super Moderator florduh Posted February 25, 2011 Super Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2011 O LORD, guide the hand of the surgeon and keep our Sister Noob safe from harm. We pray that our sister touches the lives of those she encounters in the hospital and rehab. Especially Becky, the activities director, for she is rather hot. I wonder if there is a dance pole in rehab. I digress. In the blessed name of the Pasta we pray, Ramen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't I tell you??? The latest physical therapy for hip replacement patients is pole dancing! Becky teaches the class!!! And then we all take a shower... Thanks for the great prayer. I know FSM will be looking out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted February 27, 2011 Super Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2011 I look forward to lunch in the hospital cafeteria and later, pole dancing with Becky in rehab. This will be fun! (well, for me, but of course I'm not right...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted March 1, 2011 Super Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2011 It is finished. No more bone on bone. Surgery was successful with no complications. Friday should entail a move from the hospital to the rehab facility (where Becky works ) Thanks for all your prayers (well, you know what I mean!)

noob Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks again, everyone! My BFF, florduh is keeping me company while I wait for the wheelchair transport. He gave me my makeup back! He doesn't look good in red lipstick. I think he's more of a pink guy! So far, so good... hopefully Becky will have me pole dancing in no time! She says they have computer access now so hopefully I can spend part of my rehab time playing on Ex-C. I feel better already just checking in for a moment. I'll be back...

Super Moderator buffettphan Posted March 5, 2011 Super Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi Noob, When you first posted about your upcoming surgery, this song popped into my mind. I rounded first never thought of the worst As I studied the shortstops position Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg Someone call a decent physician Im no pete rose, I can't pretend Though my mind is quite flexible, these brittle bones don't bend Chorus: Im growing older but not up<br style My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck Let those winds of time blow over my head Id rather die while Im living than live while Im dead Sometimes I see me as old manatee Headin south as the waters grow colder Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder But that's how it goes (that's how it goes), right to the end Though his bodys quite flexible, that barnacle brain don't bend Chorus Now don't get me wrong This is not a sad song Just events that I have happened to witness And time takes it's toll as we head for the poll And no one dies from physical fitness So what the hell, we'll take it right to the end As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins Chorus http://www.lyricsfre...+buffett/#share May your metabolic rate be pleasantly stuck and your return to nightlife be swift and uncomplicated! ---------edited to fix screwed up formatting of the lyrics--------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolish girl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey Noob! I know you can't check in, but I'm thinking abut you! I hope you are recovering well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I am happy to report that I am home and on the road to recovery. The surgery was extremely successful thanks to a very skilled surgeon and great follow up care. I still have a small amount of incision pain, but there is no more bone on bone pain as there is no more bone on bone! I now have two titanium hips that will hopefully last me a long, long time. Once again I was amazed by my wonderful friends and the love and support they provided. As before, florduh went above and beyond the call of duty taking me to the hospital, waiting until I was out of recovery, taking my panicked phone calls when I thought I had been hurt by an inept CNA, hauling my stuff around, visiting me every day, running errands, hauling me around for several outings and my follow-up doctor appointment and finally spending almost all day Friday getting me home from the nursing home which entailed more stops than I like to remember. Well, I don’t want to forget the stop for lunch at El Cap. That was simply divine!!! Thank you florduh! Yes, I know I owe you!!! Of course, florduh was not the only friend that was there for me, he was just The BFF! He also took great photos and sent them to me to document my 2011 Hip Adventure. Is there anyone who really wants to see my incision??? Thanks to everyone here for the support and good wishes. I loved the Bones video, francotiradora, and buffettphan that was a song I had not heard before… how appropriate! Knowing that I would be able to access Ex-C when I got home made me a tad impatient the last few days before my release. I missed all of you a lot! Of course, seeing Daisy again was my primary motivation to get home. She has not been too perky and I am concerned. I’ll give her a couple of days to acclimate and then I might need to take her to the vet. It is great to be home but I will admit, I miss the wheelchair, the hospital bed, and the three meals delivered to my room every day. I’m also going to miss seeing my friends every day and honestly, taking care of myself and walking with a walker are very exhausting. I’ll graduate to a cane in three weeks and then after six weeks of that I will be able to walk without an aid. I’m heading back to work tomorrow and as much as I am looking forward to it, I’m pretty sure I am going to be pining for a nap about 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. Thanks again, everyone! It is wonderful to be back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
