Hi All,

This is the first time I've seen this thread in a while. Was out of it a bit again...I gotta tell ya, for all the stories I heard from people about how you are suppose to be up and around pretty quick, well in my case, it was not true. Typically, I usually do okay with surgeries like this but this one has taken the longer route. My surgeon recently told me that my hip was more tore up than what I originally knew, +2 surgeries on top of it did not help.

This weekend I had to go back into emergency, while the whole healing process was going on, I've been steadily building up an allergic reaction to some of the narcotics/antibiotics I've been taking. It all belw up this weekend, and I was to the hospital again. Anyhow, I think I know what drug was causing all the chaos. My solution was to stop taking them, and that's what I did. Problems have seem to subside a bit now.

Pat, thanks for the nice offer. As for going to the next breakfast, I think I'm out, as I can barely walk on a walker 1ft every 2 seconds, and any type of movement still aches pretty bad, so maybe in December or something.

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone. I really appreciate it. Duane
