My whole right leg

 So it’s true. At age 45 I got a hip replacement after 2 failed repairs. I did have a successful rebuild back in 2013, but getting bucked off caused me to go back under and try to get it fixed again. That surgeon was cocky and a jerk. He tried. He failed, he tried again then I fired him. I found a new hip surgeon and he managed to get me a new titanium right hip for Christmas 2024! 

Of course, there were struggles. Nothing is ever cut and dry when fixing the human body. It seems that being straight in my hip revealed my old pain in my right knee. Go figure. Something that had been brought to my attention in 1993. So my surgeon went in to fix that on October 23, 2025. What was just a clean up ended up being cleaning up the crazy, damaged cartilage in my knee then doing a lateral patella release! Yay! My knee needed that! Seriously! Since 1993!!!! Well, some might recall that on 9/19/25 I broke and tore my ankle. You heard me!!! Six weeks before my knee surgery, I fell and broke my ankle! Chip fracture with ATFL tear. My other surgeon, Weido, the ankle surgeon wanted my knee fixed first. Zarling fix that knee right up! 

You should know that I take a lot of medicine for inflammation and pain. Nothing narcotic. I have to quit these meds ten days before surgery. I did that for the knee and holy cow Batman. All my pain came crashing in. The broken ankle, yeah it hurt!!! Three days after surgery I went back on my daily meds because they work better than my narcotic meds. Well I’m back on restrictions. My whole body hurts now. Sigh. I’m on antibiotics and I feel like I have been hit by a train. It will be ok. Ankle surgery will happen 11/24. Literally, my whole right leg will have been fixed in aYEAR. We started with the hip, then knee and now ankle! I have torn tendons and tears in ligaments in my right ankle. I will be in a cast for 3 weeks, a boot for four then sling until it is released! 

Yeah surgery sucks but I’m fixing myself! Just praying that all goes well and heals well!
