Misty had her Hip Replacemnt

[GreyGhost]

Hi All,

Its been hectic and busy here. Sorry I haven't been on. Misty had her Hip Replacement surgery Thursday. All went perfectly and here are the pictures. She is resting and I am not. LOL. Its a long recovery but worth it. I have half of the femoral head (we preserved it) and I can't believe how bad it was. No wonder she was in so much pain. I am so glad this got done and can't wait to see how she is in 6 weeks when she can walk, run, and play pain free. She is already putting good weight on it and its only been 2 days. The pictures are cool. The new Hip is a Helica Hip Prosthetic. New and less damaging to the bone. More speedy recovery and more stable. I have 45 in surgery pictures if you want to see more.

Hi GG,

 So glad to hear (and see) that Misty's surgery went well. I an sure she will be a very happy doggie once she has healed.

 Please post more pics and keep us updated on her recovery.

She's doing too well. She keeps trying to run me around the yard sling and leash and all. Geez. She seems to be in no pain. I can't believe it. But I am a happy Mom.
Ok here's more pics. The first one you can see the femoral head that was cut off.

Hi Everyone,

Its been busy. Misty got her staples out Monday. Everything looks great. Surgeon said she is healing perfectly and to keep doing what we are doing. He can't believe there has been no swelling at all. She is not in much pain. Seems like just soreness from the cutting of the muscles and such. She is walking great and feeling good. Final radiographs will be the 24th of November and then we can start physical therapy to get her back in tip top shape. I will get more pics up here soon. I have to take some more. I'll keep the updates coming too.

 Thanks for the update and we look forward to hearing more about her recovery!

 Hugs to Misty.

It is hard to believe its been almost exactly 4 months. Its very exciting.
Here are some pics. Look how well she is extending her hip. Awesome. Still waiting for all the hair to grow back. If you look close you can see the line still where she was shaved.

Thanks everyone. Coontuffy Robert and Bonkers thanks for the well wishes. She really does look amazing and she feels it now too. I am blessed to have friends like everyone on here and blessed to have Misty doing so well. I plan on having many many good years left. I feel I made the right decision at the right time for this surgery. A friend of mine took the pictures.
