Hip Problems

Amanda had her second hip replacement on February 5th. (Her first was in October 2023)
On March 14th she slipped on some water on the tile in her house, and down she went, landing HARD. For two days, she felt pain in her hip, and heard/felt a clicking sound.
On March 16th she stepped out of the shower, felt/heard a big POP, and down she went.  Her hip had become dislocated !!!

Bren called the ambulance, and they had quite the time getting her out of the bathroom and bedroom because the gurney wouldn't make the corner.  The ambulance crew rigged up some poles, and a tarp, and got her on that, and carried her out to the gurney.   Cam and Josiah picked up Cash, just as the ambulance was leaving for the Emergency Room. 

The ER people were very kind and good, and worked hard to put the hip back in the socket.  First, they gave Manda a sedative, but they couldn't get it back in.  They finally ended up calling her surgeon, and he came over, more sedative was given, and he was able to pop it back in place.

After about six hours in the ER, she was able to come home, and that's when she called us to let us know what was going on.  She went back to her surgeon for her six week postop appointment in March 18th, and he sent her to physical therapy.  She went to the PT today, and he's got her on a regimen of exercises to help.  He was really pleased with her movement, and promises to get her in shape going forward with no problem.
