Today was Hillary’s hip replacement surgery. The surgery was about 2 and a half hours long. It took the surgeon a little longer on her becasue there was a lot of scar tissue in her hip from the intial injuries and broken bones. She lost some blood but it was transfused back in later on in the day. The surgeon said the bone that was removed was very rough looking and soft (not good). and that the pain Hillary was having was very evident in what he took out.
Hillary is doing very well, she is taking pain meds so she can’t feel anything yet, only that it feels like a deep scratch. On Tuesday the physical therapist got her up on a walker. She also can eat some food.
If everything stays postive she will go home Wednesday afternoon! Thanks for being there Graeme.
Full recovery will take 6-8 weeks, that is a long time not to be able to cross your legs or bend down.
