Sandra, thanks for coming here and letting us know that his surgery went so well. I am hoping and praying that his recovery goes as well as so many people I know have had wonderful success with their new hips. Yes, us men don't listen the best but continue to be supportive and encourage his progress. I have seen such a difference in his postings since he met you and I know how much he counts on you. Thank you for bringing hope back into his life and I am wishing he has a great recovery.

Dave,

I'm so glad your surgery went so well and on the next day you're able to post! Yay!! Sandra has done wonders for you and will continue to keep you "in line" I'm sure :D

[Mark N]

Dave, it is good to see you posting so soon and it is good of Sandra to keep you in line along with getting your life back on track. I hope this surgery relieves you of much of your pain and has you more mobile as you recover.

[911]

[shotspine]

I'm glad this is behind you now and you can begin to heal and enjoy a new life with less pain. You have a great support system with Sandra.

My sister had a hip replacement complete redo and is a happy camper. She has NO pain in that hip now. Her first hip replacement never offered her the pain relief she has now after the redo. Hope you have the same results.

Sandra, just wanted to say HI and you sound like such a very special lady! Take care of BOTH of you!

[houghchrst]

Dave I am so glad you are doing so well, that Sandra is a wonder and I hope she is going to get well soon too. You will recover faster at home I think. A lot more comfortable and less exposure to other nasties that like to hang around at the hospitals. Get lots of rest and we'll be here for you when you are good and ready for us.

Dave, glad to hear you are at home and getting to rest. I hope Sandra is able to get some rest with you at home. You have a great set up at home and I hope your recovery goes well.

Sandra, I can tell you how helpful it is to have a partner that cares for you and takes care of you following surgery and during recovery; you are a wonderful blessing for Dave. You have made a big difference in Dave's life just from the words he post here on the forum.

[Nana4&cntn]

Dave,

Glad to hear you are home!! Things always tend to be better at home. I am sure Sandra will keep you in line so you don't do too much too soon. I hope the new hip provides you with no pain and more mobility.

Take care,
Kathy

Deb

[Nana4&cntn]

Sandra,

Dave is so lucky to have someone like you in his corner. I know you have medical issues as well, so make sure you take care of yourself also. It seems to me Dave had said you are a nurse, I hope I got that right.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both,
Kathy

[911]

thanks everyone , sandra would have replied herself cept she is not feeling well , i am doing better getting more and more movement everyday with my leg so i guess all is ok , it still hurts like heck but i am told thats part of the game with a revision ,,,, thanks Dave and Sandra

[Mark N]

Dave, it is good to hear from you and it sounds as if recovery is going as expected. Sorry to hear that Sandra is feeling ill. Keep up the healing and it is good to hear that you are moving around more.

[mainepain]

Dave,

Sorry for being a bit late replying but I am glad you are now home and recovering. I agree with that you just can't get comfortable in the hospital. With all the people, noise, needle sticks, IVs, Tubes and an unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable bed. Your recovery really doesn't being until you are home.

I hope that your new hip will bring you many pain free years and you and Sandra can enjoy what new found freedom that brings.

[debhun]

Dave keep up the good work and I hope both of you feel better soon.

[911]

[Mark N]

Dave, it is good to hear you are still doing well with your recovery. Stay off the ice and snow:).

[houghchrst]

Hi Dave, I haven't been here in a while. Just wanted to say hi and that spring is here though at the rate it is progressing you'll be able to run the 1 minute mile by the time it is nice enough for the flowers to actually peek out their heads and the grass to turn green. I hope things are still going well and that you guys are doing good.

Have a great weekend.
