The 911 Emergency Crew got me to Menorah Medical Center, where I stayed until late Saturday. They were able to get the hip back in place; however the surrounding muscles, nerves, etc are all stretched out. <br /><br />Oh, and It actually took me 7 hours to finally catapult out of the bathtub and crawl inch by inch to the den to reach my phone.<br /><br />I have never had this much pain in my life.<br /><br /> I now have a 5Star Alert around my neck that will always be traceable. Another item is a hip /pelvic abductor brace which goes around my back, front and down the left side to my knee; I wear this all of the time. It is metal, hard plastic, and Velcro. It is Very uncomfortable, but necessary to hold my hip in the socket. In a month my surgeon will determine if I can start rehab.<br /><br /> Do please pray that this hip heals. It has been almost a year… I am being as positive as possible! Thank God for friends and family (who have really gone above and beyond)<br /><br />Xoxo<br />Karena<br />Art by Karena<br />Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.com
