Thanks Sue,
Yeah it was just carelessness on my part and thinking that bending forward was somehow not bending the hip. Duh......
Well lesson learned. But damn, the pain! I don't do well with opiates so they gave me ketamine. That worked great for about 15 minutes but I was feeling very, very weird. And when the Dr did the closed reduction, they gave me ketamine and propofol. Felt like Alice in Wonderland.....
So you needed a second surgery to put in a larger femoral ball? Wow.
Thanks Sue.
Joe
