Just when you think things are getting better...Our God decides I need a little more time to get things right. After my first hip replacement on April 27, I was making great progress until I visited the Middleton home and suffered a dislocation on June 6. Never had anything hurt so bad! Had to be transported to Houston for a relocation and then headed back to the Middleton ranch for a little R&R. July brought our reunion time and you can read about that on a previous blog.
Then on Tuesday, July 21, I was visiting my PT here in Port Isabel and had another dislocation. I spent twelve hellish hours in the ER at Valley Baptist before getting it relocated late that night. I contacted my Doctor in Houston and he advised me to come in. On Friday we traveled to Houston and it was decided that I needed NEW HARDWARE put in. We headed back to the Middleton home base and then reported to Texas Orthopedic Hospital on Monday. Had my new hardware put in and headed back to Halletsville for a couple days before returning to Port Isabel.
It has now been four weeks of recuperating and I am really tired of sitting on my butt watching "Justification". I am ready to FISH, but know it's probably going to be at least another 4-5 weeks before I can hit the water. I know I will be better than I was prior to April 27, but this challenge has made me more aware of life and whats happening around me. I've been able to spend more time with my wife and my God. God is good...all the time.
