Hello from the hospital again (24)
LovingMassage: So, found out a few days ago that I have/had a bone infection in my hip which is likely why it broke during the accident. So, anyhoo, now I am 36 and sporting a brand new titanium steel alloy hip. I felt so young all my life, and now I feel so old.
Hopefully I will get out of this hospital by Friday so I can start recovering again again. I am not looking forward to the months of rehab.

don't be silly.. now you are like the bionic man
Anyway.. look at it this way.. LOTS of older people end up having to have hip replacement ops..
You just got yours sooner..
and being younger it means you will heal faster and get over it quicker

Sorry to hear about your physical well being. Will pray for a speedy recovery and rehabilitation.

Was it an infection in your hip or a disease?
My daughter had Perthes disease in hers.. (Legg-Calvé-Perthes) She has a mostly metal hip too
and will have another hip replacement when she stops growing.
She is now on of the school team sprinters.. (bionic see!) haha
swims like a fish.. etc etc..
and you would never know.

that's rough, though i suppose the silver lining could be that, otherwise, the infection may have gone undetected for longer, and destroyed much more bone.
Hope the recovery is quick

Well, I have rheumatoid arthritis but haven't really had a lot of pain from it for the most part. But it complicated this injury for sure.
I will be in rehab for like 6 months. And I am already pretty lean from my work out schedule, so it is amazing that I have atrophied 12 lbs since this all started....especially since I am pumped full of IV fluids and probably once that wears off I will be down 20-25.
I guess I am fortunate to not have had lots of health problems. I guess it is catching up to me now.

I had a car accident 3yrs ago and had a lot of neck and back pain and I found out that if I think about the things I can do vs The things I cant made me feel better I will be in rehab for like 6 months.

your young, healthy fabulous fit body will heal much quicker than an older person after a hip replacement- maybe this time, there will be a better percentage of young gorgeous single nurses!!

LovingMassage: My dad informed me earlier that I have 3 nurses fighting over who gets to be assigned to me.
I am sure there is some prank I can do.
