We are still here in Norcross, the weather is great, sunny and in the 70s during the day and 40s at night.
Ann went to the doctor to get a Cortisone injection. The doctor has to guide the needle into the joint using a Fluoroscope. He must get it right into the joint. The doctor said it was one of the worst cases of Arthritis he has seen. He finally found a small opening and all went well.
The pain is much less, but not a cure. Anyway, this was only to prove that the hip was the problem and not the knee as the other two doctors said.
Next step was to get a pre-op medical clearance. Which was done and Ann passed with flying colors.
Now for the hip replacement. We just received a all from the surgeon that it is scheduled for Dec. 20 at 3:30 P.M. She will have a private room and be in the hospital one to two days. As soon as she can walk 150 feet and climb a few steps, she can go home. Home, or RV, physical therapy has been arranged. We should be able to hit the road in six to eight weeks.
To say the least, Ann is ecstatic. Ann has some exercise to do to make her recovery faster, which she will do twice a day. Right Ann?
So I guess we will just relax, go the movies and just hang out until the 20th.
Life is good on the Roan Road…
