Mom broke her hip Monday, had surgery on it Tues and was walking on it some this morning. Thanks!

I hope 🙏 everything works out well for your mom as well!

My wife has had some issues too, but received a STELLAR report today!!
I saw people referring to it but must have missed it upstream. Glad she’s doing well in recovery! Also good to hear the wife doing well! Momma’s in good spirits so I’m thinking she’ll ace this!

Was heading out west today but rerouted down to Nawl’ns. Get some gumbo while I’m there I guess. What was the meme…It’s Friday eve? 😂. Everyone have a great day!

Also you can’t lift more than so many pounds or you’ll pop you stitches. Mine was 5 lbs and the first thing I did was fall out of bed and try to get up. I weight more than 5 lbs, so does a gallon of milk , a Pyrex full of 8 cups of water and some oven and fish washer doors. One of my brothers went around weighting everything and putting anything over 5 lbs beyond my reach. I did pop an internal stitch which meant a lot of more tests, but I did ok, the bruise was something else though since it came from deep within.
Oh wow! I’m glad to hear all this because now I can start to prep the area ahead of time. She’s the type who wants to do everything and wont ask for help, so we’re really going to have to watch and stay on her. Great info!
 
One last thing, I found the hystersister website very handy, they have a section for various reason for surgery and they will send progress emails for your type as to what to expect as you go along. There is also a forum to chat. Also ice, learn to love ice. If you do 20 mins every hour for 6 hrs , you get fairly numb, I actually slept with ice after I pulled the stitch, Youre not supposed to do this but I did ok, I put a wash cloth between me and the ice so it froze slower. The only pain killer I took was hydromorphone because it was that or fentanyl. Best advice I got was don’t let the pain build up because then it takes more meds to get it down, grim and bearing it doesn’t get you better any faster and probably slows you down.
i didn’t get addicted even after several weeks of 2 tablets 4x day, and had no problem going off. I just needed it less and less until I didn’t, pain seems to eat meds. Tramodal is a joke.
SWMBO had the Iceman machine for her knee replacement. For those not in the know, it’s a cooler with a motor and tubes that run water into a neoprene bladder. You stuff it with Ice or we just froze water bottles and backfilled the water over them. It stays cool for around 6 hrs or more. I’m betting I can just let her have that and she can put the bladder on her wound?

Thanks HDH!
Like you, I missed the original post about your mom, but have been following the best I can and I've got a good feeling about it.
Please send her my best!

Glad to hear the good news about the surgery.

Doubly glad to hear the news about your wife’s report.
 
Actually, there's a fairly good age gap between me and my oldest brother.
One of my first childhood memories is one of his friends, swinging me around by the arms in circles. He thought I was screaming with excitement, but I was screaming in pain, as both shoulders were out of socket.... I've always thought that might have something to do with my "special skill." 🤣
Holy hell! It must’ve been 2x as bad putting em back in. 😬
 
A long day yesterday getting work done in the garden … I was so tired I slept till 06.30 am this morning. And what a day to be out walking the boys up the hill. So calm and still with the riptide up and the river full. I am so blessed to look out on this every day. And then away to the hills later to fish in my happy place!
Wow gorgeous, G.

After everything you’ve been doing the last couple weeks, you deserve a day like that!
 
They did...I used to not be scared but we had a tornado come through town and I was outside and it apparently affected me .. especially at night ... Scary....

That and my bedroom and kitchen are in west side of house and when the winds come it hits my house like a freight train
Trauma effects people as well as animals and tornadoes are Traumatic!

My dear old cat was in the barn (her outside hangout spot) when lightning struck directly across the road and lit the field on fire.... That event turned her into a meteorologist.
From then on, she was my early warning system... she'd sense a storm coming, alert me, then crawl under the couch until it was completely over.

Yes that definitely would get one’s attention. I watched that Netflix’s special on Joplin Missouri tornado. So unreal wow
