Successful Surgery
Hello all. Thanks for visiting, caring, and praying.
Jeanette underwent successful hip replacement surgery at Beaumont Hospital this afternoon. (Well, this evening; the whole thing got delayed about 3 hours.) Anyway, she's out of the OR and in her own room recuperating. She'll be an inpatient for at least 3 days.
A 4-inch segment of her right upper thighbone was removed and replaced with stainless steel parts. (Any more of those and she'll be starring in Terminator 4.) She's able to move the leg but has been advised not to bend the hip very far until the sutures heal. There is a fair amount of pain but she's on some "really good sh*t" and she's mostly just tired and woozy. I stayed with her until 9pm and then went to collect the kids from Grandpa's.
The boys and I will be visiting her on Thursday. She starts physical therapy immediately, so I expect her to be doing jumping jacks by noon Saturday or so. ;)
