Today was an incredibly long day but Adrienne's surgery went smoothly. She was scheduled for 12:20, with arrival at 10:20 am. They didn't take her in until 5:30 pm, no food, no drink, no nothing. Needless to say, none of us were happy campers.
Tonight, Adrienne isn't feeling as bad as she expected and was able to get up and around with a walker. The doctor said the outside of the bone was soft, as normal, while the inside was hard as rock, indicative of necrosis. Hopefully this surgery will do the trick and Adrienne will be able to get back to her normal activity and exercise after 6 weeks.
Adrienne is supposed to be in the hospital overnight and home tomorrow, assuming no problems. I'm sure she's the youngest one on the unit! She has tight stockings on her legs and a funny machine that fills with air and then deflates, all to make sure she doesn't get any blood clots. All in all, she is handling things very well. Her doctor said she's delightful.
