Home from the hospital after hip surgery

Out in 3 days , doing well , starting home pt tomorrow then hospital based later . Surgery went well , pain minimal execept for coming off the meds which bound me up like Boulder Dam . Pretty nasty last nite but home today  starting the road to mending

Glad u made it thru pal!!

Those damn pain pills did the exact same thing to me. I found if you chase em with a cold one it helps

You'll be kick'n ass and tak'in names in no time there Daddy-O

You'll be dancing in no time

Welcome home, Warp. Glad you're on the mend.

Read some good books and do your PT like it's your job and you will be back on the course and hill soon

You got this! Heal up mang.

Heal well, heal fast, Warpster.

Don't give him any ideas!!!

thats great news,yup now the fun begins,first few weeks r kinda tuff,but i dont think you will have any problems,keep moving as much as you can,i took pain pills for a few days when i got home then weened off them,never any real pain.im sure they gave you a stool softener,be sure to take those,or it cud be a real pain in the ass(lol).im comming up on my year aniversary and i feel great,tho there not as good as original equipment they seem too b working well,and the pain it gone gone gone so it was way worth it. good luck an youll be back at it in no time.

Thanks guys had a minor bleeding issue last nite had to go to doc for a change o f dessing , no big deal just a minor speed bump, it will get better each day

Good luck Warp, my Dad came home yesterday. I made him blueberry waffles, a two cheese omlette, bacon, and sausage...for dinner. Nearly two months of nursing home food must've sucked.

Nice work.

Like Coach Z said. Physical therapy IS your job.  Get well soon.  BTW pain meds did no good for me, plus I couldn't be on them in order to drive my kid to school.  O.M.G.

Cornhead awesome that your dad is back and you have done everything to cement that bond . Deeds like you have done for you father are often the best medicine for the patient . btw nice job in the kitchen dude. Sounded great

So many friends have visited me , or contacted me and others like the VERY good guys on this site have shared their expediences with  this surgery and recovery .....i am VERY grateful to everyone who has brought both encouragement and insight as to what to expect during the process

As you all know There are good days and others that are a bit more of hurdle but what everyone done is much appreciated

I am Enjoying reading the GOLDEN Handcuffs thread , im my day we called it the Velvet Rutt .  it happens to damn near everyone ,so your feelings are quite universal .With some planning  i was able to escape it fairly early at 51 .

 i KNOW how hectic your pace is out there today and making time for skiing is one the BEST mental health breaks you do for yourself . Matt's description of ENNUI brought a smile to my face , that is EXACTLY the term i used to describe the Velvet Rutt back in the day with my colleagUes . Many failed to understand why and how I was able to leave a job that was  a peak experience , but knowing oneself and financial discipline is key

Hey its good to have dreams ,aspirations and a PLAN ...

Thanks Warp, you'll be back on the slopes, I have no doubt.. Keep the positive attitude, and be diligent with your rehab. I know you will on both accounts. I'll make a couple turns for you at K Monday. I've never skied in October before, can't wait.

I was invited by a certain banned member here. He may be a dick online, but his passion for skiing is undeniable. Before K announced they'd be opening, he was going to ski Sunday River on Monday. I passed on that offer, 14 hrs in a car to ski a single WROD is beyond my passion...or I'm just getting old. Anyway, heres to the possibility of an October - June 2015-2016 season, let the games begin.

My dad had his hip replaced. He was never a skier so no comparison there, but he can still hike ok and he's 82.  Good luck Warp!

Good luck to you too Corn and the team.  I think only 7 or 8 of your buddy's accounts are banned, so maybe we'll see at TR from K from him or you. I'll keep my eye on AZ and TGR too. Have fun.

Need to do a lot of PT....use those bands and work on lateral mobility.
The muscles will heal, but they need to be worked.
you can do it.
