Damn Artificial Hip Malfunctioned Again
[ Saturday October 12th 2024 at 2:59 pm ]

My left artificial hip is well into failing me. At a minimum it sure isn't happy. It has just injured me again. It feels like I am being bitten by it. It sure isn't happy inside of me. I am suddenly feeling so weak. I wish this wasn't happening. I would like a break. The silver lining is that I will be having an appointment with my hip surgeon later this month.

The way the artificial hip is injuring me has changed since mid August 2024. Originally I was hearing a grinding noise immediately followed by pain. I am wondering if all these grinding incidents have caused a sharp point to form that periodically digs into me. I don't know if this is accurate.

In any case the experience I just had will help me when talking to the hip surgeon about what is wrong and help me to answer his questions. I think this is the silver lining to draw peace from concerning this happening to me for tonight.
