Hammer time

18 Feb

Just think for a second about using a power saw to cut out a significant chunk of your skeleton…. There’s nothing delicate about today’s total hip replacement (THR) surgery. 

Sadly, my hips are in bad shape following my bone marrow transplant and long-term steroid use. Both have a degree of Avascular Necrosis. The left one (being tackled today), is fractured across the head of the femur. 

  

I’m tired, in serious pain and feeling rather impatient to get this done. It’s hot, I’ve been fasting, I’m thirsty!

Enough of the whinging already, let’s get this done…….
