Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I had the weird experience of visiting the Millennium Point Museum in Birmingham during one of my walking excursions about 10 days post-op after my first resurf. I was walking past a row of video screens when I heard a banging sound coming from the screens. There was a movie showing the hands of Ronan Treacy, my surgeon, performing a resurfacing operation. There I was standing with my two canes, aghast at what had just been done to me. I know just how you felt, believe me. Naturally I was very proud to have survived, and yelled out " Hey, I just had that done! " I'm also glad I didn't see it first.

Yesterday while sorting through things (packing) I came across that file with the DC in it. And decided to pop it into my computer and watch what I'd been through. HOLY BATBEANS! Have you all seen this thing?? I made it past the incision (watching through my parted fingers) but had to turn it off when the time came to dislocate the hip. No wonder my psyche wouldn't let my body go to sleep for 4 weeks after that! No wonder we have muscle pain. I mean, folks, this is some kind of procedure. My sister loves to watch that sort of stuff so she popped it back in to watch. I entered and left the room according to how squeamish I felt. I have this whole new level of admiration and respect for our surgeons. And I have a whole new level of wonder at this ol' hip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you feeling after that anesthetic? Mine was only about 35 min. the first time and I still felt a bit woozy for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a video of a THR before my surgeries. I'm generally not squeamish, so sat down to dinner to watch it. I was fine until they invaded the femoral canal and all that marrow oozed out. That ended my dinner. And made me that much more determined that I wanted a resurfacing if I could get it. I can watch everything but the incision, and the staples. That part just gives me the willies! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
