Went for an ambulance ride on New Years

[Neil955i]

New hip is not as bad, got it leftside replaced. After overall five weeks (three weeks REHAB) I didn't feel anything anymore. Only the scar reminds me of that intervention. No pain, no reztriction of movement, nothing.

Good to hear Ruffus!  I have arthritic hips, so who knows?...

my brother had his knees replaced, both at same time, spent a lot of bicycle time, back to work in 6 weeks
Got e-mail from my PCP, he has referred me for mor PT.   $40/session copay = $400-$500/month

Prepping for my upcoming colonoscopy next Tuesday, that may not happen, I'm feeling diverticulitis pain coming on, call into my GI doc, probably ask me to go to the hospital for labs & Ct scan

[randyo]

and yet another ambulance ride, ER knows me well, fix me up as best they can, send me home via Lyft service
still haven't had the colonoscopy, had to postpone when I got diverticulitis yet again, had an endo something or other, biopsy of my pancreas, later in day after procedure experience unexpected pain, called 911, back to hospital, Ct scan, no perforations procedure looked good, stent in my pancreas

I'm babbling, one of my drugs is making me loopy

hate to suggest this, Randy, but have you thought of getting one of those 'life alert' type things you wear that let you summon help at the push of a button?

Hope all your medical issues get sorted out.

I have a SPOT GPS locator with a 911 button

another ER visit last night, no ambulance, Anne drove me in, in and out reasonably quick, about 2 hours total, small scrip for Vicoden and another for Pregabalin, still buzzed on the hydrocodone content

[Ruffus]

Poor Randy, best wishes from this side of the pond!

still need the Vicodin, used sparingly, I have 2 left, the Pregabalin has to build up in your body a couple days
I   have been able to get back to my core exercises on a limited basis
