That was my problem after my knee replacement, did great and Dr released me in 5 weeks, walking and doing what ever I wanted, the next week I was back in hospital having emergency surgery for staph infection and spent 3 months in bed taking drips 3 times a day of very strong antibiotics. Then had to take meds by mouth for 2 more mos. 9 yrs later still have minor flare ups and have to take meds for a few weeks. Didn't know if I was going to live or die the first 2 weeks and was so sick I didn't really care which. I ended up having 3 surgeries on that knee before it was well.<br />So please please take it easy take your meds and don't do anything unless he tells you too.<br />I will be praying for you. <br />MollyMarjorie (Molly) Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876434453158175693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-22220000310806440392010-06-18T19:28:33.872-05:002010-06-18T19:28:33.872-05:00I'm so sorry your having a long recovery but I...I'm so sorry your having a long recovery but I had to laugh at your words..

I understand because knees and hips are what I see come in each day at our rehab center. It is a long haul. <br /><br />My mom just had a colon resection and she is feeling the same. Wants to be up and around, but it also is a long recovery. Prayers for you. It will get better!cottage farm villahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421843400178564923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-42301776421688590442010-06-13T20:23:51.520-05:002010-06-13T20:23:51.520-05:00Dixie...me sympathies on the surgery/recovery...su...Dixie...me sympathies on the surgery/recovery...surgery is the easy part, right? my sweet hubby had ankle surgery May 4th to repair old football/basketball damage...back in the 60's when he played ball the coaches called you a mullet and gave you extra laps for "whining like a girl" so those hairline fractures went untreated...but 40 years later it was time to get it fixed...6 weeks off it the cute young doctor said...but Mr.Invincible thought he'd be back to fishing and mowing the lawn in half that time...NOT! His cast comes off the on June 21...right before we leave for Paper Cowgirl...he thinks then he will be mowing and getting around just fine...I have mentioned the nasty word "rehab" a couple of times, but he is not hearing me...fine, I'll be out of here and having fun times in Waxahachie...I'll bring you your first glass of wine or stop in to visit Nancy and me...the Mojitos will be chillin'. Leave room in your trunk for all the loot you'll want to pick up at Vendor's Night. I hear Mendy is doing a wonderful Make-and-Take.

I always bounce right back after anything and figured I'd be home in a couple of days - hah - who knew getting in the car would be such an ordeal. Hey - come to Paper Cowgirl with whatever you need - heck we can get you a wheelchair and prop your leg up. Do you have a temp handicap parking deal? Get one. You aren't that far out from surgery and it might be easy to go IN somewhere and then think...how am I gonna get OUT of here!
