Fox is that normal amount of pin? That sound like a lot

After the surgeries in Florida following the motorcycle wreck- that is what was reported. His hip-leg & knee were shattered! My understanding of today’s surgery was because of the arthritis that had set in because of bone-on-bone situation.

I have know way of knowing if 21 is accurate or not.

I bet he’s back in the car for Florida. I have had 4 hip replacements, my first was in 1991 when I was 15 and the most recent in 2015. I had my right hip done on Nov 1 of 2014 and I had the right done on Jan 5 of 2015. The process is so much better now and the pain is 1/4 of what it was in the 90s. If he was able to drive with his hip bone on bone he will be able to handle it a month after surgery. When it’s bone on bone the pain is in bearable and the minute you wake up from surgery you feel 50x better at least for me it was. They will just have to pas his seat up real good for the bouncing and rubbing against the scar


Yep!!!!! I watched my dad have the came hip replaced twice. the first in 84 and the second in 06!The first one got an infection and he spent 8 weeks homebound with a nurse giving anti-biotics every day. Then in 06, when in a few hours, the surgeon came to check on him and my dad wanted to go home. The doc said as soon as you can walk 50feet with a walker. My dad got out of bed and walked the 50 feet. The doc was surprised but my dad said the pain was nothing compared to what he had had. He was dismissed a few hours later and in approx. 30 days, my dad was back to normal. Btw.....my dad was 70 at his second operation!

A hip is quicker recovery than a knee. My buddy just had a replacement. They get you up and walking the same day and release you the next. You have to work hard and rehab every day, but 6 weeks is doable.

My wife has had 2 within the last 3 years......the first was done through the front of the leg and her rebound time was pretty minimal considering....the second was done through the back of her leg because of some complications and was clearly much more painful and the recovery time was about 3 solid months with lots of rehab before she could walk without a walker.

Bloomer will get this done and behind him and pick up winning pretty quickly.

Not true at all. I had my second one done the Monday morning after the DTWC and went home that afternoon.

Your right he’s going to get back in the car as soon a possible so his fellow 4mers can get credit for saying I told you so. It probably has nothing to do with him trying to get back to his job so he can pay bills and for the surgery.... never mind I forgot he’s in the 010 dirt late model drivers union and they have great health benefits
