My wife had surgery ( Feb.21 Hip Replacement ). Due to complications ( low blood pressure, had to have a blood tranfusion and high fever ) possibly due to her EM, she was kept in hosp an extra 3 days.The Specialist ( Surgen) had no idea what EM was. While in hosp. she had these white socks on up to her thighs to prevent blood clots,well they almost drove her crazy. Any way she is home on the mend and is still taking her Gabapentin ( also continued to take it in the hosp. ) and also is taking Morphine when needed and a blood thinner to prevent blood clots. Will she get the other hip down ,only time will tell. She had a lot of pain due to the surgery and her condition ( EM ). Glad she is home and doing well. Thx
