Today is six months since I tripped over my own feet and ended up in an ambulance on my way to Cibola General Hospital in Grants, New Mexico. I suspect I was given medication to block the pain as I have no memory of the next four days.I know I ended up in Loveless Hospital and my surgery took place on the 25th of July. I broke several bones in the original hip replacement.
It's been a long six months, with a stay of two weeks in what used to be Good Sam in Grants and therapy at Cibola General Hospital. I still call the facility in Grants Good Sam because that's what it was called when I briefly worked there. At the time it was my job to provide activities to give the residents money. When I quit I was told by the administrator that I had made more money than anyone else in that job.
I have to admit it was strange to be on the patient side of things. I was grateful when the day came that I was released to go home. It as also strange when it was time to do therapy several times a week at Cibola General Hospital.
As six months since my surgery is Sunday, I am waiting to see if I will need my walker or cane anymore.
