Friday Night Surprise

I had surgery nine weeks ago on my left foot and been non weight bearing on it and mm use a knee scooter to get around.  Friday night I was going from my scooter to my Lazyboy when I turned and popped my hip out..OUCH.  Wife called 911 and I got an ambulance ride to the hospital.  The ambulance had no shocks and I felt every bump.  Thankfully, the doctor popped it back in and I was home in four hours. The hip had been replaced 20+ years ago so the image shows the replacement parts.



For Father's Day my wife gave me an appropriate hat.

Ouch! That is some serious joint work.

Good to hear that you didn't need another replacement, too much down time is bad for the soul.

Gotta love the hat!
I was fortunate to have an excellent group of EMTs and doctors.  They gave me one good stuff before they picked me up out of my chair which helped.  The doctor put me out for 10 minutes to put it back in and I felt nothing. Now, I need to be careful forever.
that hat is cool !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
