More Hip trouble in AZ

On Tuesday, March 25th I planned a THREE TEMPLE tour (Desert Peak, Saratoga Springs, Taylorsville). When I got to the Desert Peak Temple (pictured above) at 8:45 am, I looked at a text.

Brendon: Amanda is going to have surgery on her hip again today. She doesn't want to ask for your help, but she needs it if you are available. They are going to replace the replacement !

I was so so concerned ! Apparently while she was SITTING at work the day before (Monday), her hip had dislocated AGAIN !! Another ambulance ride, more emergency rooms.... ! She had been in the hospital all Monday afternoon, evening, and overnight. They couldn't get it put back in the socket, so they were going to operate. (They ended up doing the operation on Wednesday instead of Tuesday).

I quickly went it and did some initiatory work in the Desert Peak Temple, and then drove down to Saratoga Springs (the back way through Eagle Mountain). While in the Saratoga Springs parking lot, I was able to have a conference call with Roger and Amanda. It was decided that I would get the quickest flight I could out of Salt Lake, so I could help in Arizona. I made the reservation for a 5 pm flight, and then headed home as quickly as possible to pack, and head BACK to Salt Lake for my flight.

He doesn't look too excited to see me - but he was !!

We had fun in the hot tub

And the pool

Manda came home from the hospital all better on Wednesday evening. They took out the stupid hip joint they had put in her, and replaced it with the same one they had done for her first hip replacement surgery in October 2023. A dual Mobility hip - Why didn't they use this in the beginning for her second hip replacement on February 5th? Who knows.... :*( She said the minute she stepped on it, she knew that THIS fix was just like her first one. They didn't need to re-drill/cement the rod in her femur this time, just unscrew the ball, and put the dual mobility ball on.
