Loading ...I have an excellent, Board Certified, young Ortho surgeon here who is meticulous about sterility & infection prevention. I will be doing surgical scrubdowns with chlorhexidine for three days before surgery. ‘Minimal invasive’ frontal incision, and they cover it with a long, thick patch afterwards that stays on for 7 days. I can’t get it wet. No showers. Wipe downs only during that time. They keep me in hospital for two days afterwards for checks and therapy. Yes, I can have my phone, and taking my kindle to read stuff for the boring hours.
I endured 10 days in hospital on liquid diet when I had colon resection 5 years ago, so this will be much easier to tolerate. The food is good there, too! Not looking forward to PostOp pain, but I’ve been enduring 3 years of pain trying to walk on it, so what’s new? Looking forward to be able to walk with no pain.
Other friends who have had this Doctor are greatly pleased with the outcomes, knees and hips.
