Recovering from Hip Surgery Mood
Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A General Update story
Just got home from Rehab and am recovering from another revision from a hip replacement...just had a revision in june and the cup loosened.  I am still in pain and now my leg is 2 inches longer.  The surgery was 4 hours long and the surgeon said he had to rebuild my hip because the pelvic bone was so worn away.  I am on oxy, vicodin, and muscle relaxers for the pain and the foot drop  is still there and drives me crazy.  The neurontin just doesn't seem to help.  I'm tired of the drugs and wish I was off of all of them.  Realistically, I would need a miracle for that to happen.  I'm just tired and wish and hope and pray my body will get better.  If you read this, say a pray for my healing.  I just hurt and I want to be better.  I find that this life for me is just hard...this was my 16th surgery and I just want to feel good and get out of this wheelchair.  I want my life back.  This disease has taken enough of me.  Well need to go clean the kithcen.  Be happy and be well.  Peace, Carol
