Update on my hip surgery

First I want to thank all those who responded to my call for positive thoughts, prayers and information
they really helped I pulled them up as I needed up till I had to give up my phone😊
As you can tell I made it thro the surgery
Fine anesthesia was fine only downside so many others doing same missed the PT who would evaluate me going home today
So here I lay might be a good thing as I have history of blood clots so they can monitor that closer but I think it will be fine. Down fall for the nurses they have me on I’ve fluids and it makes me have to pee a lot 😀 and since they haven’t had me up for therapy to walk it’s bed pan time
But I guess between the nurses and me if that’s the worst then I’ll take it.
I guess I will reevaluate after the trip home either tomorrow or Thurs ( probably will stay line more day at sisters house in case any problems and to let it settle more before a 3 hour car drive over the pass
Hope for good roads!!! What ever day we travel
Thank you all again

Hospitals so busy this month as everyone wants to get things taken care of before their deductible kicks in again. PT should have you first on their list tomorrow. I will keep sending good thoughts your way. Praying for safe passage for you on your journey home 🏡 🙏🏻👍🏻😘
