Well as usual I'm a day late , got parts in and thrashing on the Great White
[ Yeah I named it ] .
Jackee I hope you get back at it soon cause I ain't got time to raise Cain about anything.
If you learn any good pain management tricks pass them on as I hurt everywhere.
That reminds me I'm going to west Texas this morning maybe I can get a jug of Horse Liniment.
Anyway get well soon and keep on them to make more sugar free Mars treats cause the population is getting older and Lactose Intolerant.

Come on Jackee, we're dying to hear how you are doing first person. I can see you have posted elsewhere-can you throw us a bone here by bringing us up to speed on your recovery/rehab and generally how you're feeling. We are still praying of course.

Sounds like something we could have done with a couple of stainless rod ends and some JB Weld? 
Hurry back, Jackee!

I am SO sorry everyone, especially you Jenn, for not seeing this thread. Thanks so much for all of your good wishes and prayers, I've been trying to whittle away at over 2500 emails and I haven't been out to 'mater much at all.
Tis truel Had a total hip replacement of my right hip at 9:30am Friday, May 16, was in a room by 1pm and walking by 3pm. Was released from the hospital at 2:30 pm on Sunday. I'm staying with my cousin Tom and his wife Cheryl's for my in house physical therapy.
I had my left hip replaced in 1999 and had general anesthesia. It took me weeks to rebuild my strength and stamina and stop feeling groggy. This time I had a spinal, and Tom said I was as alert as soon as I came out of the OR as I was before going intothe operating room. A world of difference.
Started the PT on Tuesday. All of the bedrooms are upstairs, so Ive got the step thing pretty well down pat.
The incision hardly hurts and even the exercise isn't so bad. I have, however, developed a pretty intense pain in, well, in the center of my right buttock. Gives the phrase, 'pain in the butt' a whole new meaning. I would like to ask you all to continue to pray about this one because I have to be able get back to only needing a cane before I can function on my own. I need to be able to drive as soon as possible. While most doctors don't even want their patients in a car, much less driving one, for 6-8 weeks, mine says I can when I can. Of course, the risk is being involved in an accident. I have a follow up visit next Thursday at 3pm and had hoped I could drive myself there. If I don't get some serious relief from this pain, I don't think I will even be able to get in and out of the car, or TO the car.
I went into this surgery, not expecting much pain relief, as the hip had pretty much stopped hurting last year some time. The pain I expected to continue, was in my extreme lower spine, tail bone... which has been causing most of my disability. I had only been able to walk/stand for 1-2 minutes before having to sit down from that pain. A minute sitting, and I could go on. Not able to do much, with that criteria, that's for sure.
This other pain doesn't go away much. It will subside when I sit, but it starts again as soon as I walk. But I have virtually no pain from the actual hip replacement.
Please keep me in your prayers.

Thanks again everyone. Here's the latest.
I had to call the doctor yesterday about the pain. He called it sciatica. I didn't have this before the surgery, and somene is going to have to do something to get rid of it because I can't function like this, it is so painful. I can't stay in bed because of the surgery, and I can't walk much because of this new pain. Remarkably, there is still little discomfort from the incision site.
I'd been off my anti-inflamatory because I have to self inject Lovenox, which is to prevent deep vein blood clots. I spoke with my doctor's partner, and he told me to go back on the NSAID for the sciatica. It's really been very painful to go upstairs at night. I haven't seen much relief from the pain since starting back on the Celebrex.
I cannot explain the devatation I feel because of this set back. The surgery went better then I could have imagined, as well as the hip recouperation. I realistically was not anticipating much pain relief from the replacement because I wasn't having much pain in the hip It was from my lower spine, which was the next on my Jackee's Overhaul list I'd given my primary care doctor, of things I want fixed. I was NOT expecting the surgery to cause me a NEW pain, which is much worse then before I had any hip surgery. Just a different kind of pain. It's possible the nerve has been pinched because both legs are now even. I just don't know.
Please keep this in your prayers. I have to have something to relieve this new pain before I can get on with my recouperation to be self sufficient. This really came at me from left field.
