Hip replacement part two is now over. Everything went well. I consider myself very lucky to get the regional anesthesia instead of general. I had the surgery Friday at 7:30 a.m. and was released from the hospital at 6 p.m. on Saturday. I could have walked out of there using only a cane but they make you use this transfer chair instead. Oddly enough the hospital pharmacy closes at noon on Saturday. Most other pharmacies close at 6 on Saturday so it took us a while to find an open pharmacy but we found one and were happy. Offspring #2 put me to bed at 8:30 p.m. She tucked me in and I laid down with an ice pack on my incision. I woke up once. A strange noise woke me up. Realizing it was my own intestinal gas that woke me up I laughed out loud and went back to sleep. And I slept without moving for 11.5 hours. Never have I slept a better night's sleep.
