My surgeon says he uses the ‘anterior’ approach for minimally invasive muscle involvement from the frontal area. Some hospitals send you home the same day, but he likes to keep patients two nights in the hospital to be sure no infections or complications. My best friend in Honolulu showed me his scar on the side, very long and halfway up his rib cage. Looks like they went in from the top down. Long scar as they have to pound in a long insert into the femur bone. My surgeon, in contrast, showed me how he would have to lever my leg out sideways to do that. So there are several approaches, as you say. My surgeon is a fairly young guy, board certified and very efficient. He says 2 or 2-1/2 hour surgery. By contrast, when I had my colon resection I was in OR for 5 hours.
Please watch this 10 minute video and then pass it on to everyone you know.
I’m watching this video I posted while writing and forgot to mention one thing. Once your retired it’s easy to have more time on your hands to talk about the past. It gets the present off focus. No situation is the same and focus needs to be on his and hopefully not scare him or compare as not all the same.
This video keeps going, he’s going after censoring and misinformation hard, people to be fired. Like the host said he’s throwing down the hammer and to pray for his safety.
Yeah and ouch. Posterior can still be done for more severe problems, there’s also lateral and minimal plus other kinds. It can happen even if lots of work because of wear and tear especially daily stressing joints despite bones okay. The other sedentary too long it becomes porous or other reasons causing it. So once retired it’s important to exercise.
A friend had one due to accident but had to go back in because of bone damage from the accident. She and her husband T boned and both seriously injured. They ignored a wound behind her leg though and possible tissue injury and turned out that way so walked with her her through that as it got worse and she got to a wound clinic. Amazing got her though these larger injuries ribs and hip and they let this small area go and grew bigger and deeper that could of resulted in sepsis and heading to the bone not to mention permanent indent scaring. That was strange.
No central bank digital currency. Starting deportation of criminals and those ordered back immediately. 10 new city’s, flying cars, affordable homes, baby boom for citizens, opening up some of the Federal land for these cities, bringing manufacturing back, shutting down the border, getting homeless off the streets, much much more,
Mine was due to an accident where a horse fell on me while it too was falling, and when it got up it stepped in my right crotch doing lots of damage to the hip. Other than that my bones and joints are in great shape. ;o)
The world loves Trump.
They can still do the surgery they did on you for reasons and there are quite a few different types of surgery’s depending on the condition. Hopefully though like some people who get tattoos, get one on one side then the other side wants one so hope that won’t happen but if it does it does.
Here in BC Canada they mostly now do the anterior hip replacement surgery which only requires a 4″ vertical incision as day surgery and send you home the same day, but when I had my right hip replacement surgery in September 2015 they still did the posterior 6″ incision which cuts across the muscle and is much more invasive than this newer anterior approach, so required a hospital stay of 2 days. There is lots of info on both procedures on the internet. The new anterior approach makes the 4″ incision in front of the hip and the old Posterior approach makes the 6″ incision from behind the hip on the Glute (butt) muscle.
I too had to have a few classes on what to do post surgery; log roll, sitting on a toilet, going up and down stairs, and other do’s and don’ts. … I opted for a spinal tap with a mild sedation so when the surgery was finished I came awake very quickly. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for two days post surgery but I was up walking the same evening of the surgery, walked the halls for hours with very little discomfort, and the next morning I asked to be released to go home…which after my doctor read the nurses reports, he approved. Naturally I was very careful for the next few days and weeks but the whole thing was a “piece of cake”. My incision healed quickly and I have had no problem with that hip….and it’s been 9 years now.
Anyway, just a FYI of my experience, which again was Silverngold
I don’t know what kind of surgery you’ll have, for example one will have less sutures than another type of hip surgery. Either way there is a lot of bacteria including antibiotic resistant in hospitals also colonized on hospital workers because of it like MARSA. It normally won’t bother you went healthy or a open area of the skin. So make sure you suture area is cleaned with NS dried and covered everyday. I noticed the longer suture lines were more prone to looking red and sometimes small drainage starting I could usually knock out with topical antibiotics when still superficial and usually found them with their bandage off more than once. So keep them on make sure they where gloves when cleaning and bandaging cuz they could be carriers themselves. They don’t even test it in medical staff anymore or they’d have no staff lol
There seems to be a battle going on with pharma and colloidal silver as in not yet finding the evidence of certain adverse effects like nerve damage of what they claimed or thinking the colloidal silver with turn you into a blue Smurf like it’s the same as other forms.
I did find that low dose colloidal silver is considered 10-30-ppm.
Couldn’t respond earlier, I had to text everyone I could think of to tell them not to pick up my daughter at the hospital she has to stay there. All those drugs she’s on she’s not in right mind but if she doesn’t have them she’ll be i. Too much pain. Once she other left she wanted to leave too, he should of stayed.
Not too much information; thanks for lead on colloidal silver and good luck with your surgery.
One point about sleeping on your back. I, too, sometimes have trouble with my breathing and my throat seeming to close and sort of gagging. I find that lying with my head as low as possible is better than propping it up, forcing the chin towards the chest. The idea is to rotate the head in the other direction thereby opening up the throat. The most extreme would be to use no pillow, but I prefer to just sort of punch it around to get some support under my neck but still have the head back and down as much as possible. The only other way I think I could do it is in a recliner, but that doesn’t seem to be an option for you. But, yeah, you need to do your research ahead of time and find something that works. If you can’t get comfortable enough to sleep at least some, it’s going to be a tough row to hoe.
If you can talk to your anesthesiologist tell them about your breathing while laying flat on your back or your doctors to tell him or her.
You can move on the unaffected side for awhile but might be too much pain to move initially. When you do keep your body straight when turning, no twisting or moving one part upper lower by itself has to be together with something between your legs so your leg stays straight on affected hip. They might be able to raise the head of your bed a tiny bit and use pillows under your shoulders partially then one on top of that so you don’t push your head down obstructing breathing You will be medicated for awhile so that might help. Yeah I remember the tonsils thing. First I escaped and they couldn’t catch me so they called my mother. Then when they put the gas in my face I held my breath.That resulted in not getting enough and I woke up in the middle of surgery. The doctor a year later I found out when about 8 then got caught doing unnecessary surgeries and committed suicide. When I woke up during surgery I could see kids on gurneys lined up and he was going from one to the next and wasn’t wearing scrubs, none that I could see and the nurse wearing a white uniform wasn’t wearing gloves but did notice what he didn’t, I was awake.
Immune system up vita D C zinc with copper and good bone supplements.
Just got done taking to local relative and my daughters friends and told them they got her on all sorts of drugs enough to think their using chemical restraints to keep her in the hospital.
No worry’s, although medical kinda screws up my writing after so many years I still know it just don’t do it. I already figured it out.
I like the American Biotech labs stuff. They claim special process to get the nano particles finer than most, for better absorbtion and effect. I also use their silver gel for external wound healing. Like the stuff they use on burns.
Met my surgeon today. Still a long process ahead. I need to get prepared… go to a preparatory ‘boot camp’ in December with my brother who will care for me here for the transition. Surgery is now scheduled for Feb 10. I was hoping sooner, but the surgeon is a popular guy.
I need to get any dental work done before that to eliminate any possibility of mouth bacteria getting into my system. I will need to do some stretching exercises also, as much as possible. And I gotta start intermittent fasting to lose some weight. Like Goldielocks says, they are very careful about not allowing any infections of the bone and the hardware they install. He says it is real hard to kill an infection in the bone joint if it gets in there.
My best friend who had this done tells me I will need to sleep straight as a board also. That’s going to be a problem for me as I am a ‘side sleeper’ and roll over frequently during the night. I have an unusual amount of epiglottal tissue in my throat that is a real snoring and choking machine when I sleep on my back. I never had my tonsils removed as was all the rage when I was a kid. Maybe need to prop me up with some pillows or something. But I’m being awakened now when I roll over as the hip pain stabs me. So what’s new?
Saw my Xray. No spacing left between the ball and socket, and I have some bone spurs around the edges from the grinding. They ream all that out before installing a metal socket to bone, with a plastic cup insert. Then a heavy ceramic ball on a stem that is pounded into the femur leg bone. It’s a complex operation and I am expecting a lot of bone pain immediately afterwards. I gotta remember to tell him Morphine does not work for me. After my colon resection, two doses did nothing right out of surgery. Then I had to wait several hours in pain for it to wear off before they gave me Fentanyl. That worked.
OK… too much information?
OMG! – i may have done a horrible thing – a definite Mea Culpa.
Here is the original #10 text >> “Push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress”
In my defense, i was rushing when I made my post. I assumed that the Reader Comment I pasted was a ‘voice to text’ transcript.
So as i gave the text one last quick read, when I read #10, I assumed it was a typo and changed “imposed” to “opposed” without thinking.
I wish now that i didn’t do that without proper documentation. but as i said – i was rushing…
Personally, I could make a good argument for EITHER – it all depends on the individual case.
I know Colloidal Silver is good topically as well as internally. I think it was 2004 when my wife had the flesh eating episode, and since then we have taken CS in small doses daily (shot glass) to maintain it in the body…..and guess how many times we have been ill with anything since we started that protocol? Right! -0- And that includes right through the COVID scam, All the flu seasons with wife working FT in the hospital, mostly in ICU, lots of cuts and scratches due to our lifestyle of farming and ranching, and never even getting an infection in any of them, or even catching a cold.
Of course that is not the end of the story. We eat mostly home grown organic meats and vegies, eggs from free range chickens; all a healthy lifestyle. I believe in the saying “God helps those who help themselves”, and we always have done that. We have never had to hold out our hand so someone would put something in it, but we have always held out our hand to help others who were in need. Today we planted rows and rows of garlic on our friends organic farm. Do we do it for nothing? No! We do it for the pleasure of knowing we are helping someone who is struggling to make a difference by raising all organic fruits, vegies, nuts, etc.
Tomorrow I go to another rancher friend who raises beef cattle, hay, and chickens for meat and eggs. Again, it isn’t for money, I do it for free. It’s for the pleasure of knowing I can make their lives a little better and easier. My personal benefit is my health. I’m in my eighties and seem to get healthier every day. Life is…..

It looked all good till it got to number 10. Yikes it is a good idea and a pay back to the left wanting to do that to the supreme Court but Congress might not be too happy no matter what they say. He’ll need body guards all the time. Cruz has talked about term limits then I saw him on Fox running again saying the left were out to get him by out funding him pouring money into his opponents. But then on the other hand we would need a replacement that could beat these lunatics.
Silver is good with Vanco given in low doses though it says. So what’s low doses I have to find out.
How it works with Vancomycin. It’s synergistic not additive and enhances the effect by breaking down the barrier of the bacteria that could be resistant to vanco. But I still have to find out what the other one they added. It’s seems it would be a good mixture of vanco and silver nano particles infiltrated cement would be excellent to go on the infected bone especially if adding hardware.
…Low doses of silver can make vancomycin more effective against Gram-negative bacteria, which are often resistant to larger antibiotics like vancomycin.
This is how it works.
…Silver works by making bacteria produce more reactive oxygen species (ROS) and by making the cell membrane more permeable. This allows more antibiotics to enter the bacterial cells, which can overwhelm the bacteria’s resistance mechanisms.
He’s 10 times more dangerous than JFK so you want to believe it’s all they think about.
God’s speed … Donald Trump.
