My only recent bed rest time was four years ago for my hip replacement. They kept me in the hospital for 4 days and packed me up and sent me home on Friday morning. Then I started having a reaction to the blood thinner. My leg started to get HOT and red and swell up. I was not willing to wait until morning so back we went to the hospital. The bastages made me wait in the ER for a long time until the pain meds had worn off. Then a ER dock comes in and thinks the wound might have an infection. He clips off a few staples and starts poking around with a q-tip. I was in agony. I told him to stop that until I get some pain meds. It had been 6 hours and even without his poking around I was overdue for some meds.
They finally put me back in the very same room I had been in earlier that day. 5 days later I went home for good. Now all I have is a pain free joint and a 8 inch scar on my hip. I was in a walker for a week then just a cane. It was just a few weeks before I was back at work. I would have gone crazy with anymore time at home.
Hey, Monday is done!
