Hospital Day In Pictures

Danny shaved his head for the big day...
It was great having Glen, Danny's dad, out for a couple of days. Thanks Glen!
One last stretch and walk on his bad hip before surgery.
Starting to feel good.
Starting to feel really good.
One of Danny's surgeons, Dr. Todd Lincoln.
Instruments...
More instruments, I am sure the chisel is in here somewhere. Instead of sawing the bone they chisel it to break it. Supposedly this reduces the heat friction and necrosis.
Danny's anesthesiologist.
Post op, 10PM when we could finally see Danny
Giving him some ice.
Danny conquering PT (kind of)...he always got really faint from low blood levels, but had a great attitude.
His room in the telemetry unit which we loved.
Getting ready to go home. Dressed for the first time.
Seeing the scar for the first time. The nurses thought there would be staples, so not bad. It it about 6 inches

Danny, how are you feeling? Are you starting to feel stronger? What a scar! You had a pretty good crew taking care of you!

Danny - you are definitely the "model paitient" - you've been so positive with everything. It's great to see you feeling a little stronger each day and starting to move from your cozy living room suite...
