Post Op Day 2

Phew, glad to be home!  Spent two nights in hospital as the first night was pretty rough with pain and shortness of breath.  I had a great anaesthetist who asked me what drugs I wanted, so I made sure he gave me some Zoffran before I woke up in recovery.  It did the trick and I have not had one bit of nausea!  Also had an anti-nausea patch put behind my ear.  My nurses were also lovely and the hospital is like a hotel, couldn’t have stayed anywhere nicer!

I feel like I’m doing incredibly well.  Post op I couldn’t lift my leg off/on the bed by myself, and today I can get around with no problems.  I have been having a cocktail of drugs including Oxynorm, Codeine and Voltaren so I’m not sure if I ‘actually’ am doing well or if the pain is covered up by the drugs.  Don’t want to be too optimistic at this stage.

I spoke to Mr R yesterday and this morning.  My labrum was pretty wasted, thin and calcified.  He tried to do a repair but there was no repairable labrum left so had to remove it along with quite a lot of damage to the femoral head/neck.

I managed to get two photos of me in traction, but no action shots unfortunately lol…I will get the scope pics when I see Mr R for my post op check in two weeks.

I am frustratingly tired.  Every time I try to read or watch tv I fall asleep so looks like I’ll have no choice but to rest up

Thank you all again for your kind words!
