Guest guest Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I went to see Uncle Rusty (aka ) today. He actually was admitted this past Friday. He had been having increasing pain all week in his right hip. This is the hip that was without a joint for many years that he was finally able to have replaced a couple of years ago. He had his left hip replaced this past year. Well anyway, the right hip got so bad by this past Friday that he couldn't bear weight on it at all. He ended up having to call 911 and they took him to the hospital. His blood sugar was only 48 also as he had slept in that morning. The ER doc seemed to think that was why he came in and wanted to send him home! Finally checked out the hip and consulted with the orthopedic doc who admitted him. They have been thoroughly checking out the hip and suspect that there may be an infection in it. He had a special radio-isotope scan today to determine that. When I saw him he was in his usual awesome spirits and thinking positive but I could tell he was in a great deal of pain. I didn't get to visit with him long before they took him down for the scan. He is supposed to let me know the results and I'll be updating you guys as soon as we know something. As usual Tree's husband, Dave is being 's rock and seeing to his needs. And please do pray for /Uncle Rusty. He says to tell everyone hi and he appreciates all thoughts and prayers. , mom to Rob, 21, JAS in remission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
