Awesome! Good to hear you're walking...wow

This is a goose and gander type thing, DocB, I have read some of your posts where you basically said to take it easy and follow the Doc's, the other Doc's, orders, so, with all due respect.

Do what they tell ya, and go easy.

Oh, and congrats, I am watching your progress, my left knee is approaching warranty work.

And remember, you don't need to prove the old adage about "doctors making the worst patients..."!

Godspeed for a complete and expeditious recovery.

Ron Scott · July 12, 2011, 08:38:47 PM

Great!

WDH · July 12, 2011, 08:41:54 PM

I bet that you are a fine patient ;D.

thecfarm · July 12, 2011, 09:53:26 PM

That is good news. ;D

Magicman · July 12, 2011, 10:21:21 PM

Thanks for the good report doctorb. I don't even want to think about it 'cause my left hip doesn't hurt as badly as my right. I just blame it on handling lumber, slabs, logs, chainsaws, chains, tongs, cant hooks, shoveling sawdust, plus taking about a thousand steps every day. :-\

Glad to hear the waiting is over and you are on the mend. And now the rehab starts.

fishpharmer · July 13, 2011, 04:34:55 AM

Doc glad to hear your up and at it! I wish you a speedy recovery and hope your fishing soon.

Jim
Those were some very thoughtful words expressed in that note from your wife. Thanks for sharing her progress.

doctorb · July 13, 2011, 01:50:09 PM

Jim-

Please thank your wife for her thoughts. Please tell her I am doing extremely well. I had PT this morning. Did steps and walked the hospital floor with crutches. Again, it is a very rewarding situation for me to receive sentiments from your wife.

Gary_C · July 13, 2011, 02:01:59 PM

Sounds like you are ready to go home. How long do they plan to keep you?

customsawyer · July 13, 2011, 06:27:28 PM

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Dan_Shade · July 13, 2011, 06:50:06 PM

it sounds like you'll be running marathons in no time!

doctorb · July 13, 2011, 09:02:16 PM

I ran several marathons in my young adulthood. Maybe that's why I needed the hip replacements

Dan_Shade · July 13, 2011, 09:08:01 PM

at any rate, glad to see you're up and about :-)

sandhills · July 14, 2011, 12:05:26 AM

Glad to hear it went ok and hope your recovery does the same!

red · July 14, 2011, 06:47:29 AM

clww · July 14, 2011, 07:36:00 AM

Doc-Glad to hear of your successful surgery! As it sounds that you're doing well, I wish you continued success while you recuperate and progress with the PT.
