The topic should be left hip replacement complete, but it’s been so long (13 months) since Dr. Park broke my back, that’s a distant memory. Here’s what my lumbar looks like now. New rods and screws in the vertebrae compliment titanium hip prostheses on both sides.
It wasn’t too bad of a procedure – seems less traumatic than a hip replacement. But the accompanying nerve pain is a new twist. Not much in the way of rehab needed, just alot of hurting until it sticks and grows in. They gave me a stout brace that works way better than the riding belt I was using all last year. All the staff at RMR were great, and of course Dr. Donner has my undying gratitude. I was not going to make it much further.
