Sharing and Caring

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Sharing and Caring

Post by TOG »

There are a lot of photos on here where people share their experiences as well as those in the news. I thought I would share with you my recent operation and photos, they are actually quiet good.

The right hip was pretty straight forward. Only a 15" posterior approach opening to enable the surgeon to access the pins in the right pelvis, do some re shaping and then dislocate the femur, cut off the ball, ream out the socket and then put in the titanium stem, ceramic head and a new ceramic/polyethylene socket. Simple two hour operation.

Two weeks later we move up a notch. An 18" insertion into the left hip from the rear of the buttocks (semi posterior approach). Re shaping and scraping of the pelvis after MRI scans and a 3D picture. 6 titanium plates put in. Then the repeat on the hip joint. This was a 6 hour operation.

In between these operations I was kept on Immunosuppressive drugs as well as morphine for the right hip. They wanted to do a spinal anaesthetic but I insisted on a general one. Big mistake as the recovery is much longer. Now I am home scratching away at my skin due to the 100mg of morphine tabs each day (reducing rapidly).

Enjoy.

I'm sure your body must have looked like this after some of your fights. The legs are just useless lumps of meat at present.

The comments on the arse made me think that this must be the view second row forwards get of it.

Why did you insist on no spinal? Usually it’s spinal then general afterwards. Not necessarily either or. Also epidural if significant post-operative pain is expected for the next few days. And why the need for immunosuppressives after surgery?
