So far Jo's progress appears to be moving along much quicker than the first hip. About 24 hours after coming out of the recovery room, Jo walked an entire lap around the hospital floor with her walker. Although the pain medication does make her sleepy, she seems much more coherent than last time.
The only thing we can come up with is that in November, she literally didn't have a leg to stand on. This time around, she has one really good hip and a significant amount of her "referred pain" went away after the first hip replacement. Then too, wouldn't a person just want to recover faster with summer coming up as compared to the first time around as we were heading into winter?
I do have to admit that I may have been a little too detailed in my documentation of the first hip surgery. I feel like there isn't anything new or funny to report...on the Jo front anyway. Now Anna is a different story. She has figured out how to get her pajamas unbuttoned and then off comes her diaper. I can deal with her wanting to take her pajamas off, but little babies need to keep their diapers on when they sleep. Tomorrow, we bring out the duct tape!
