Day 28
Well woke up with some discomfort.  It is more of a low intensity deep ache with a tad groin twinge.  Have to get ready to go to Richmond.  They discontinued the antibiotic and halved the Coumadin and I'll have blood taken today to see where things are
There is no change with being off the Rifampin 1 day.  If the insurance has not approved the Lovenox injections by tonight I have been instructed to go to the ER.  The Home Health nurse will check again tomorrow
Saw the implant and the myriad of wires surrounding the bone, where they performed the osteotomy & greater trochanter.  The immediate post-surgery x-rays look good but todays look like the wire has been squashed in places and the possibility of a compression or new femur Fx.  The progression is on hold until the NP can confer with the surgeon.  She wants 2 more weeks of home therapy if possible.
it's real ly depressing because I thought I was doing everything right for the most part.  I wonder if when I would support my leg in my hands to give some relief and got the pitting edema if the wire could have been distorted.  the appearance of a possible Fx didn't look good.  What can you do but move on and be depressed and hope it doesn't affect anything
