I'm OUT! The operation was a Snap! 45 min on the table. As they wheeled me into the OR, I was seranaded by Warren Zevon singing "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO! Wherewolf ofo London"
This song will have special meaning for me from now on.

Physical therapy was a great thing. I was only at the hospital for 3 days, and I felt fine getting out.

Now for some observations.
They Use the word Cure! So nice to hear.
They spend more time doing tests and being supportive than when I was in for the RC. mmmmmm
They constantly had to be told "He has a neo bladder, that is why his urine is so weird." Oh yeah

My final thought.. This hip thing is a breeze. I'd recommned it to anyone. After the RC, this is truly a vacation. I can now walk somewhat normal.
My wife still thinks I'm insane

This may sound strange... I am going in the hospital today for a new hip. Life has been so crazy lately, I am looking forward to this as a vacation. (sick, I know)

Last year was a wild and wooley time for the RC...This operation is like a wondrous adventure. I was given a tour of the rooms, an indepth talk about pain meds, a touchy feely "we're going to have a good time" sort of pre admission visit. I felt kinda like when my wife had the baby and we toured the maternity ward.

I just wanted you all to know I haven't left for good..... Just for the better! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'll see everyone in a few days, when I am bionic
