Hi! Everyone:
Just thought I'd give you an update.
All in all it wasn't too bad once we figured what pain meds I could handle. Yesterday I was on Percocet. Felt like I was going to faint, my head and neck were sweating really bad and my mom said I got the shakes really bad was nauseated and thought I was going to get really sick. We finally figured out that by putting the bed part way up and switching to an anti-inflammatory and one Vicodin I was able to do the things they wanted me to do. Also right after surgery got the itches.
Dr. Rector and his staff are so awesome as well as Boulder Community Hospital. Michelle and Stacie came to see me both days and they were very supportive.
Thanks for all the support I received on this web site. I'll write more as I make progress

Glad to hear you got the pain meds figured out. Congruatulations on the new hip!
Good Luck and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
