Been having trouble with my hip recently , pain off and on for months , it put me on the floor Tuesday morning, so I made an appointment to see my Dr . Was late to the office by 2 minutes and the Dr had left the office , last appointment of the day . So , they moved me over to the emergency side and did a CT scan , told me to go to the ER immediately . Tried to get a n ambulance to take me in , but there's a 3 hour wait , so we dive in . Spend the next 5 1/2 hours in the ER , lots of poking and prodding , am told to follow up with my Dr to get a referral to an orthopedic specialist for a possible hip replacement . The meds they gave aren't working too well , supposed to take every 6 hours , but the pain is back to full in about an hour and a half , fortunately I still have some from my fight with the table saw , took off about 1/2" of thumb a couple of years ago . Now , I'm waiting for the referral to come through and see what the Specialist has to say . Other than that It's been wonderful .
