Wayne Dowler Posted August 9, 2020 Report Posted August 9, 2020 Sorry to have been quiet for so long, but life has dealt me a setback. I will be getting a new replacement hip on Thursday. Something about my body is rejecting the replacement I had done in 2009. The doctor isn't sure what he will find until he gets in there and sees for himself. I'm not kidding when I say I'm a little nervous about this. When they were replaced them before, I knew why. This time - not so sure..... Any way, I thought I'd keep you up on the latest and promise to post as soon as I am able. Fingers crossed and all that...... Wayne 2 Quote

Dutchrev Posted August 11, 2020 Report Posted August 11, 2020 Hi Wayne..... from over the pond, big hug, speedy recovery... Quote
midibot Posted August 12, 2020 Report Posted August 12, 2020 Speedy recovery will include getting in a fly or two of some kind or another, for the spiritual side, as soon as you are able. As you know. All the best, . Quote
makatakam Posted August 12, 2020 Report Posted August 12, 2020 Oh, and during recovery, you can fly DuKane-style. Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Posted August 17, 2020 Update. Surgery went really well. Home recouping, limited in weight allowed on repaired leg. Stiff and sore, but still a bit mobile. 3 weeks check up to see if I can put more weight on it. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! 3 4 Quote
CarbonCrusher Posted August 17, 2020 Report Posted August 17, 2020 Sounds like a pretty good outcome. Blue Quote
RobB Posted August 17, 2020 Report Posted August 17, 2020 Glad to hear that you're on the mend. Hopefully it all goes well and you're back out there in no time. When I broke my back, I returned to flying weeks before I had the doc's OK... Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Posted August 29, 2020 Healing pretty well so far. Swelling is going down in my operated leg. PT has given me exercises to strengthen the leg and increase flexibility. Got a dr appointment to remove staples and assess things. Looking forward to being able to put more weight on it. Gradual improvement...... 4 Quote

Wayne Dowler Posted September 22, 2020 Author Report Posted September 22, 2020 So latest update: All fixed! Good to go! Just need to build up some coordination and endurance in the leg. May even salvage a little outdoor flying this year!! If not, at least indoors. For all of you that had me in their thoughts - Thank you! 5 1 Quote
