Thanks, for checking in with me. Had hip replacement at Mayo Jacksonville on Tuesday after having kidney replacement in 16. Was discharged late last night and meeting today with the nurse and PT folks at home. I will be heading back to Mayo for blood work tomorrow. I love how the orthopedics and kidney teams have communicated throughout the process and continue to do so. Now my PT therapist has arrived for my first session, should be interesting.

This is wonderful news! I had no idea that the surgery already occurred. I know that you are looking forward to being active once again. It sounds as if you are definitely receiving the best of care. Mayo is the best. (My granddaughter who is 5 says me and grandpa are the best!)
Scott, are the labs tomorrow for hip or kidney, or both? Do you know what/if any extra precautions were needed due to your transplanted kidney? Will you have any extra precautions for yourself as you heal dure to the kidney?
I hope the PT went well today.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
