Day 2

Saturday,  March 23, 2013
this probably won't surprise anyone but I've been having some problems uploading photos. So all I can offer are these words. Recovery is going well, some pain but bearable.
I'm allowed out of bed & was taken for 3 walks today. They'll try me on stairs tomorrow.
I hope to be sprung on Monday & rehab time & protocol are still a little vague. feeling
confidant about a good recovery.

Well.... here I am..surgery's over, it went very well. Feeling good, very little pain, just tired & hungry. Just finished my first meal in 24 hours. Jello, cherry ice & ginger ale.
Quite exciting. Anywayz, happy that its over. Looking forward to getting on to therapy
& getting home.  Thanks for all your good wishes. Stay tuned,  E d

Very Funny Elin, I'll keep it in mind! Thanks for the help!!
Thanks to you & Bill for your kind wishes.
Friday, March 15, this photo is the sunrise from the Darien train station. The earliest I've been up in about 30 years. We were headed to Special surgery for an 8 hour day of tests & various poking. prodding & never ending questions. Met my sister & brother in law for a great dinner at La Fonda Del Sol afterwards & it made the hospital ordeal all worthwhile.
I'll be posting throughout this adventure. If you'd like to leave me a message, just click on the comments link below my entries. Best to all, Ed

ROUND 4

Howz Ed? you ask!

Well... on March 22 I'll be going back to Special Surgery to repair another hip replacement gone bad.

On March 15 I will spend an entire day in NYC going through the pre-op ritual.

If you want to know how I'm doing, you can follow this blog from pre surgery on the 22nd through my (hopefully) benign & problem free recovery & recuperation. Stay tuned & feel free to stay in touch via 

email - edsmusic@optonline.net and this blog.
