Hi Everyone,
Just returned home, 16 days post op. Spent 2 days in ICU, 2 1/2 days on orthopedic floor than transferred to HealthSouth for about 10 days of physical therapy (what a wonderful, professional, compassionate group there). My surgery was a total of 15 hours and Dr. said he was able to give me an 80% correction, which is phenomal from what I have heard for my age group. (57 years old). I have heard 40 % is about average.
I am ambulatory with a walker and considering what I have gone through quite independent. (Of course it was difficult for me to ask for help under any circumstances before, so I am going to have to grin and make a heck of an adjustment.) Well folks, would love to tell my long story but will save that for another day, still poop out pretty quick.
I just wanted to say Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes, I am sure they were instrumental to the success of my surgery and my recovery getting off to such a good start. For Now.
Love,
SkiAnn
