Thoughts and prayers needed

[dwasson]

As some of you may know, I will be entering the hospital Tuesday, October 17, for the first of two Total Hip Replacements. I expect to be in the hospital for three days or so and to recover at home for eight or nine weeks. Then on December 19 I will have the second hip replaced. This will be followed by a similar period of convalescence. I expect to be back on my feet, looking for work by late February.

I will keep you all posted as I go through this adventure.

Thanks

Done.

All the best for a quick rehabilitation.

[Hotrauder]

All the best Dan. My former golf partner has had 3 hip replacements. He is still playing and playing well. That is an ambitious schedule. Our thoughts and prayers, of course. My mom (86) had one replaced this summer and she is playing touch football already.....we maybe not quite but you would never know she had the surgery. Dennis:2thumbs: proper rehab is the key.

Dan, my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Here's to an uncomplicated procedure and a speedy recovery. :D You be back on your skates with the Red Wings in no time .... and you'll be able to do some great board checking with your new fenders. ;) Best of luck. Hang tough my friend.

Dan,Good luck to you my friend.

All the best Dan. My former golf partner has had 3 hip replacements.

Just how many hips does he have?

[CRUZTAKER]

I wish you best with the surgery.
Two hip replacement? Wow...

What you need more than prayers is the commitment to physical therapy and the ability to deal with the pain that will accompany that recovery.

My Grandpa Arron had a hip replacement last year. He was 99 years old.
He will be 100 this year, and although his mobility is limited by age, he recovered nicely and gets around well.

Good luck to you, and I look forward to your first post regarding your riding a bike.;)

[bigslim]

Best of luck Dan. Remember, you said that you would "break-dance" for all of us next year at "Dream Cruise". :eek:

[Smokie]

Dan I wish you the very best recovery and will put in a good word for you with the BIG GUY.:)

[glassman99]

EVERYONE I have known that has had that done has been more than satisfied with the results.. GOD BLESS and we we will say a prayer for you. Come back ready to race. With the new hip(s) you should be able to really "cut the light"!!.

[MikesMerc]

Dan,

Good luck my friend. If you need anything at all, just ask. Your brothers are here for you.

[bigjohn]

Dan,

Best of luck and a speedy recovery!

[sweetair]

Dan you wouldn't be doing this unless you needed it. You will be better off afterward. Good luck and a quick recovery.

[Bradley G]

Best of luck, Dan!

[teamrope]

Best of luck and wishing for a speedy recovery. You are in our Prayers.

[MarauderTJA]

Dan,

Best of luck with your surgery and recovery. Had a total knee replacement earlier this year and lucky me was back to work in one month. It was so nice not to have that pain, even immediately after surgery. So listen to your doctors, nurses and therapists and you'll be back on your feet in no time. Prayers up to the "Big Guy".

[Ross]

Praying for you, buddy. During your convalescence you should be able to come up with even more great signature lines like you've always done!:beer:

[ckadiddle]

Good luck Dan, best wishes for an easy recovery. Worst part is there will likely be some time in there where you can't drive!

[SID210SA]

Best wishes and prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!!!

[hitchhiker]

Best of Luck for your hip procedure. Be sure to press the button on the morphine maching every time you wake up and put cartoons on the TV.

:D

Best of Luck, Dan

Dan, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Of course, Barb said, he just wants to stay home and watch Detroit win the World Series.

Tell you what though, you do that break dance for Darryl at the next Woodward cruise, and we'll be sitting next to him, watching.

Just one more thing: It was August a year ago they drilled those holes on my poor knee and pulled a new ligament through 'em and screwed the whole works together. Yesterday I went bird hunting ans slogged 5 miles through the sorghum and high grass on the darned thing, with nary a hitch. Do your follow up PT, and listen to what the orthopod tells you, and you'll be a new man.
