I am supposed to be in the hospital tonight waking up with my new hip....NOT...short version is first cathter test...still shows contamination...second one...with foley cathter...still there. Surgeon came in and said sorry but we cannot go forward. Big risk...is if any infection could go directly to the new hip. Not a good thing. FYI...for years after you have to take antibotic with any dental work , cleaning or filling or anything because of risk of infection.
This decision came after.....iv in, blood test, in gown, leg washed with idodine, leg marked by surgeon and compression nylon on left leg... (right one would be put on during surgery)...In other words we were ready to do go. To say I was disappointed is an under statement. Bad part today....did not have a good nurse...best part....chaplin came in and prayed with me.... that calmed me down. Thanks to Larry for being there for me...calm and supportive and loving....
Tomorrow...appt. at 11:00 with urologist to see what is going on with this situation. After we get resolved we can again move forward with the new hip. This journey has not been a straight line...very curvy and curvy road make me nauseated.... thanks for all your thoughts, cards, prayers, e mails etc. hugs to all
