Just an update on my condition. Theoretically I have lots of time to post right now, but in fact everything takes so long, and I have to rest so often, and the pressures of my grad school studies are so large, that it’ll be hit and miss.
Anyway, I had my right hip replaced at a Minneapolis-area hospital on Thursday. In general my recovery has been on schedule, my condition good under the circumstances. Right now I’m spending a couple weeks at my brothers’ and his wife’s place in Iowa, where the environment is a little safer than in my house.
Thanks for your prayers.
Glad to hear, not only they you’re doing well, but that you’re staying with someone. Continuing to pray.
What a world—that you can have a hip joint replaced and go to grad school at the same time! Glad to know you are safe with family. Will continue to pray for your swift recovery.
Iowa has a 57% higher recovery rate for hip-replacement patients, compared with neighboring states. I have absolutely no reliable data to back that up. I place a high premium on the placebo effect, however. Although that’s probably shot to hell now.
Get better soon.
