Daylily,
I'm happy for you that you've got a date for the op.
Three weeks gives you a good amount of time to organise things at home and get yourself as healthy as possible to ensure a speedy recovery.
Please keep us updated and endeavour to obtain the metal ion levels so we can all share the results as they return to normal.
Best
Toby

Hi all, well d-day has arrived!!!!!!

Going in hospital for revision of BHR tomorrow, the operation is the day after.
Have not had the results of the metal ion blood tests yet, would you believe the blood was put in the wrong coloured bottle and got sent to the wrong laboratory???!!!!
Anyway had some more bloods taken last week. The surgeon says he is almost certain that there will be above average metal ions going off the angle of BHR cup.
He's putting ceramic in this time just to be on the safe side, do not really care what they put in as long as the pain goes away.
Will post again as soon as I am able. Should be out by Friday I think.
Take care all

Good luck!

Hello all, well I'm back from the hip revision operation. It didn't go according to plan,
Apparently the cup bit of the re-surface was too big for my pelvis!!!! ( Supposedly I have a small one, you wouldn't think so looking at me)
and because of that the outside rim has rubbed the bone off the outside edge of my pelvis which meant a bone graft. The cup was also slightly loose as the consultant said it was extremely easy to get out. (The cup was a Duron???) sorry I'm not up on the tecky stuff, which I believe are prone to loosing
Saw my x-rays post op and it looks like a mechano set in there with all the screws!!!!!!
So only partial weight bearing on operated leg for 6 weeks (20%) then in 3 weeks it physio for range of movement exercises.
Feeling pretty good all considering, pain under control with pills, I was on liquid morphine for a couple of hours post op, but that deep bone pain is gone so it's only the normal healing now.
All onwards and upwards now, just glad the DXXN thing is out
Got back home yesterday afternoon 1 and half days afer surgery
thank you all for your help and support, it has been much appreciated and I will continue to post when I've any significant news.

Great to hear that you are out and on your way to recovery.  Aim sorry everything didn't go as planned but now you know the reason for the problems.  It sounds like they solved it and you will be fine.

Best wishes as you recover.

I'm glad the surgery is over for you, Daylily. Although it didn't go as planned, at least now you can get on with your life. That was quite a long ordeal for you. I'm sure you will be much happier now. Let us know how it goes.

That's great daylily, sounds like you're on the way back. So the cup was too large for you? Sorry to hear about the issues, but really good luck and thoughts for you.

I am very sorry to hear about your infection.  I hope you will continue to recover OK.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  Infections are terrible.  I know many people will be thinking of you.

Pat

[daylily]

Oh Toby how horrible for you. You must have worried sick about it.
Lets hope it's all ok now.
Very painful achilles tendon stuff, my physio said mine were like old ropes, that was years ago, he said I'd never walk properly, wrong thing to say to me, of course I had to prove him wrong.

Glad you're back home and OK ish?

[newdog]

toby,

Is everything O.K.? Did the infection go away? I assume you would not have been sent home if it wasn't. I hope you are alright.
