Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).

The Dr says I have to wait until the 23rd to go full weight bearing on my hip. Getting tired of the crutches already ,and it hasn't even been 4 weeks yet. Going to be fun chasing the little one on crutches for the next few weeks.

You all but said it yourself, you need to be 100% if you plan on keeping up with junior. It is only a few more weeks, you have made it this far, don't mess it up now. Did they do good or can you tell yet?

Stick with the plan Ferm, you will get stronger everyday if you do

Today is my first day at home watching him by myself Ridge, and the bad part is he knows I can't keep up with him so he monopolizes on it. They won't do any X-rays or anything until I go back in 4 weeks to check it, but he showed me pics and stuff he took while he was in there, and showed me where the cartilage was ripped out of my hip and where he had to take out some bone, and nail the cartilage back in my hip. He origanlly told me 4 weeks and I could put weight back on it, but due to how much bone he had to grind out he wants me to wait 6 weeks, and then another 6 weeks before I do anything to really speak of on it. Was hoping for 12 weeks and I would be healed, but now it's looking like it could be 4-6 months because of how badly it was damaged.

To bad Christmas break is over as it was nice having momma here to chase the little one, all I can do is crawl to get him or yell.

Apologies for just now catching up w/your situation...ouch!...I snapped my right femur long ago and still have the rod they took out a year later...if you need it, brother it's YOURS!!
Listen to the doc and if/when he advises physical therapy, do it, do it, do it. Hope ya get better soon!

I got the one they took out 3 1/2 weeks ago, and I may still be able to get back the broken one from 11 1/2 years ago. I've got all bone now in my left femur, gonna be interesting the next time I go swimming. The stainless rod was heavy enough I would sink to my left side, now maybe I will float semi normal again(or sink normal).

get one of those kids harness that you see the families use when they go to Walmart, hook it to one of your heavier rods. You can keep him in check and go kid fishing all at the same time, PS, don't tell your wife where the idea came from, better yet, don't let her see the fishing rod
