Jonah, I'm 62 and I had a total hip replacement on March 29th. I was walking just like you for almost a year until I booked the surgery. Other than the incision pain, the hip pain was gone. I stopped taking prescription pain meds after 3 days and only took tylenol while icing for any discomfort. It's now going on 11 weeks and I'm 95% walking normal and with no cane. The biggest hurdle I had was getting the thigh and glute muscles back to full strength since they atrophied and were very weak. I've been seeing a physical therapist regularly (once a week and doing home exercises) since a week after the surgery. While it was a little slow, the muscles have progressively improved, some weeks more than others.
You're still young and strong, and will heal even quicker than I have. You'll be up and back to normal by 3 months of your surgery. My advice is to do everything your doctor and physical therapist asks, and be patient with the results, as the recovery/strengthening does take weeks. Do your simple surgery exercises to prevent blood clots and take your antibiotic to stave off infection. I had no problems with either.
I'll be praying for your speedy recovery. Keep the faith as you will be better and back to being a normal teenager, soon.
Glad you had such a fabulous experience with recovery. Noticed you didn’t mention 3 prior surgeries and doing farm work in between them. Oh, and did you have loss of the ball with bone on bone being the result of that loss? Was your leg 3 inches shorter prior to 4th surgery? Just curious. And did you have parents urging you to go ahead and put your foot down on the crutches since Jonah was doing so well with toe touching?? The doctor said NO WEIGHT BEARING for FOUR WEEKS, just toe touching. The Doctor orders always seem to be overturned by the parents. Glad you recovered. I only want the same for Jonah. Jonah puts on a brave face for his parents. He does want his life back. But his parents put great expectations on him under the guise of encouragement and it has proven disastrous every time. Toe touch only. The doctor knows what is best. You don’t want to have to go to a rehab hospital for a month because you did what your parents expected. I’ve been there and it is so hard to get through. And makes home therapy take longer. I’m 1 year 6 months post surgery and still on a cane. Why? I tried to please family. Not my doctor. Be well Jonah. You have your whole life to live. Praying for you to do what’s right for you. Happy for lefty’s good result. Hope I can toss the cane one day, too.
My sister had a hip replacement when she was 17. When she passed at age 73, she still had the original replacement and it worked fine. I think that much of the longevity is due to how you take care of yourself.
Praying big prayers for you Jonah! Marking our calendar for July 7. The big day! N-day (Normal day)
I'm so thankful Jonah has a date for hip surgery. Woo Hoo. Time to get on with life as a 15-year-old boy. Justin, stop and reflect what you say in front of Jonah. "He can't do chores". "Out summer is threatened again, because Jonah". "We have camping". As for infection, Jonah can tell you if he gets cut/hurt, it's up to you all to see that he is checked against infection. Make sure Jonah doesn't feel the responsibility of things changing or not "normal". It's life and you roll with the punches, not complain about the bumps in the road that are so minor in comparison to the overall picture of Jonah's health.
I thought the same way the way Justin talks about the injury is just making Jonah feel worst. Quit exacerbating the issues Jonah has. Think positive and the future well being of Jonah.
I agree.
Yep. My jaw dropped when the first limitation he mentioned was, “He can’t do chores.” 🤦🏼♀️
My heart broke to hear Justin say Jonah was needed to do his chores before playing, walking and just being able to recuperate. And to say it in front of Jonah?. This isn’t the first time Justin has said this type of statement. It’s disgusting and totally insensitive. Before the accident, I have no doubt Jonah could run the farm with his siblings far better than his father. Jonah, I am praying for your complete recovery on your time table, not the chore schedule.
I think the reason Justin makes an issue out of Jonah being unable to do chores is because that is what is most important to Jonah not to him. Justin can certainly afford to hire help. That farm is just as important to Jonah as it is to Justin.Its a huge part of his life and his identity. Its his farm too. Jonah is not a child, he is a young man. He has been raised to be self sufficient and to contribute to his family. His work on that farm is just as important to him as Justins is. Jonah feels that when he is left out of the farm, he is left out of his life. Everything Jonah and Justin do on that farm is a chore. I don’t think you can identify how important a farm is for a farmer unless you are one and at this point in his life Jonah is a farmer. 17:37
🇦🇺Please make sure Jonah gets counselling. As someone that had many surgeries in my teens, I was more susceptible to depression and anxiety. I never went to a councillor and ended up suicidal. I had two facial surgeries, got bashed (age 13) had emergency surgery as I was unconscious, went to court, knee surgery that didn’t work, skin cancer (I died twice on the operating table), then knee surgery again. All in the space of 11 months. My parents thought I was fine as I acted fine but my self talk wasn’t good. Better safe than sorry. I cried out to God asking why? I needed answers. Or I would end my life and God showed up.
I'm very happy Jonah is getting this taken care of now. You can see this truly has taken a toll on him physically, and emotionally.❤
Jonah you're much stronger than I could ever be and seem to have gained much wisdom from this unfortunate accident. Kudos. Stay strong bro, you are capable of amazing things!
NO!!! Dear God!! Why aren’t you doing alternative treatments?! There’s Feldenkrias which aligns the body so that he’ll heal properly and it’s covered by insurance. Also Cranialsacrial treatments along with Rolphing!!! Allopathic medicine is not for healing. You should know that being you’re an organic farmer. I also did frequency healing through my holistic Dr when I recently broke my ankle on both sides. They wanted to put in plates and screws and I wouldn’t let them. It healed in 3 months!! Get away from those cabal doctors!!!!
JONAH, as you can read in all these comments, all of us in UA-cam land are rooting for you and sending out love, support and good vibes to you on this next phase in recovery with your hip.
I had my right hip totally replaced. The appointment with the Radiologist is very important so make sure you check his rating. Just a millimeter off in measurements can cause leg shortening. I lost 5/8 of an inch of my length. Here the point for Jonah is to “restore” length and not to lose it. Sending prayers for Jonah! God bless y’all! ❤️🙏🏼
most important comment
Would you happen to know anything about heavy duty plastic hip instead of metal one? I had a young friend who was in a bad accident in his later 20's and ended up having 3 hip replacements because of infection. His final and Top surgeon said that he probably caught the infection before he even left the hospital the 1st surgery. And he said that infections like to get on metal are hard to get rid of. So his 3rd replacement was a plastic hip. But before he could have the 3rd surgery, he needed to get his 2nd metal hip removed and get IV antibiotics for quite some time to get out of his body plus had to wait 6 months before having the last, 3rd hip replacement put in and was plastic. My friend is much better and now has been active a few years now.
I really hope the Rhodes asked lots of questions and asked about heavy duty plastic hip just in case. Poor Jonah has been through already in his young life. I'm praying for him 🙏.
In the old days of hip replacements, they frequently would not be able to match the length of the legs. Nowadays they are pretty good at it.
בס'ד
I had an ankle replacement at 26 and another 18 months later because of a complication due to me having osteopenia but the whole thing changed my life and saved me from so much pain, congratulations Jonah and family. You're about to get your kid back.
Great news! Less than a month and it will be all done. Jonah, you have handled this situation with grace and maturity. I’m looking forward to seeing you back on your feet very soon!
Ok Justin this is one time You kept interrupting Jonah, we. Would like to hear him.
I’m so happy for Jonah. Yes it sucks this has to happen. He’s going to thrive again getting back to doing the things he loves.
I'm so impressed with Jonah's strength in the face of such adversity. I'm sure there are times he wants break into tears. It's OK, all of you are in my prayers!!
If I was stressed, I think I'd go nuts if I had a chatty dad with a camera constantly in his hand. The family has a lot going on now, hoping for the best for everybody!
Justin makes Jonah depressed in certain things he says about his injury. Sometimes when a boy is nervous the less said the better.
And I thought I was the only one that sees this. Justin has been so insensitive to Jonah blaming him for not being well enough to do chores. Jonah is a kid. And Jonah has been doing adult farm work. Justin needs to quit reminding Jonah of messing up missing their summer plans. I’m disgusted with the adult farmer who owns the land and is responsible for the work, not his kid. Praying for you Jonah to get through everything.
Jonah is a beautiful young man , I am so glad he going through it hip replacement has come along way and he needs his life back. I am praying everything is gonna go so smooth.
You got this dude. I've had 3 knee replacements , one failed. I would do it again tomorrow for the freedoms it gave me. If a 68 yr old can do this, so can you. Determination is key. Prayers Continue for you and the family. Do you realize how much Lilly loves you and admires you? It is so easy to see ❤❤❤. She is special.
Sorry to disagree with you, Rebecca😂. I've been a business owner. And I was trained in Coop during high school that the customer is always right. But That IS NOT CORRECT. It doesn't mean that a company or its owners can't treat their customers rightly. It means that some customers will ROB YOU BLIND at no fault of the company's. So, therefore, no. The customer is NOT always right. Sometimes, they are thieves.
JUSTIN PLEASE READ THIS!! while you are remodeling your home, I believe you need to put in a lap pool for Jonah to exercise in.. It is crucial for him to be able to exercise his hip without putting stress on his hip muscles. They make lap pools with a current so the pool itself isn't very big but you can adjust the flow of water so he can have a stronger current as he gets stronger and older.
I think they have a pond they can swim in.
Sounds so expensive and not in their design. It would really wouldn't be a realistic option for many reasons.
It would be more feasible to get a membership to a local YMCA lap pool and go there weekly.
👍 lap pool 👍
@@Belle2550 - there are people who have built them from hay bales - just have to think out of the box. Which is something the Rhodes are good at!
Totally agree
It’s hard to watch Jonah being injured. Such a good kid. Prayers for his recovery.
It breaks my heart to see the joy has been fading from his face, but to watch him struggle to walk is truly devastating. Bless Jonah and his recovery.
You need to take Jonah to the Dentist before this surgery and make sure his teeth are in pristine condition. No more acupuncture, as that can introduce bacteria into the body which could cause an infection. Think positive Jonah, you should heal quickly and you will be back doing chores before you know it!
Total hip replacement outpatient? That's crazy! Jonah is such a sweet boy. I love his positive attitude. It will get him far. Good luck!
My good friend who was 90 had a hip replacement and did fabulous! You can do this and get back to normal! God speed Jonah! ❤ sending prayers for a speedy recovery!
My Grandpa had his at 100. He was up in no time.
I'm a healthy person, had hip replacement, " It was a little slice of Hell"
Don’t worry Jonah. Hip replacements are not as bad as they sound I’ve known several people who have gone thru it and very happy they did. You’re a trooper. You’ll get thru it 😊and you have huge family support. ❤U guy!
Praying for you Jonah that everything will work out for you. You are a very good and talented young man and I know that the Lord will provide for you. Just pray and trust in him for your needs.
Hip replacement surgery does not always go smoothly. My sister had metal poisoning when her hip replacement began deteriorating. It was recalled by the manufacturer; however, she had to deal with a revision/replacement surgery. During the second surgery, the orthopedic surgeon BROKE her femur!! She had months of pain with pins and wire holding the bone together as it healed. Although the revision consisted of a ceramic-coated implant, the surgeon intentionally implanted a shorter one to allow more bone healing time. COVID hit, so she was stuck with surgical delays because her insurance company deemed it ‘non-emergency’ surgery. Then, her orthopedic surgeon moved to another city. She is now scheduled to see an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for a revision of the revision of the revision of the original surgery. He’s confident that the ‘final’ surgery will be a success.
@@probablynot1368 Geez, I feel bad for your sister. I hope everything will finally be remedied with no ill effects.
Dear Justin & Rebecca, Jonah has so many supporters manifesting so much love, respect & faith that he will heal properly & once again, be made whole.
I am so eager to learn that everyone in the Rhode’s family will have their answers for Jonah.
Also loving prayers go out to your mom.
Henry is as cute as ever. Love the smiles after the doctor's appointment and Lily seemed prophetic on the outcome of things. God bless you all.
In recovery and rehab, please, please, please follow the doctor and physical therapist instruction to a "t". Do not push him to go beyond what those professionals have instructed. Do not think that home cures and pushing him to meet your needs and goals of getting him active are going to hurry up the process. If you don't follow a rehab outline, you may end up with less than desirable results. Don't push physical activities that may not be appropriate nor make him feel he has to meet your activity expectations. And, for heaven sake, do not let him swim in the pond. That is probably an infection waiting to happen. It is a process and you may have to put your hopes and plans on hold to make his recovery as good as possible. Joy Giles
❤ so glad that Jonah is going to be able to get this surgery soon and be able to enjoy his life again. It's been rough on him not being able to help the family or just the quality of life he's had. Such wonderful parents putting him first and trying to find and solve this problem with his hip.
The customer is not always right!... Yes, I believe in Customer service... Some people just complain to get free stuff and to complain to be heard... attention getters...
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for calm and peace before the surgery and that all goes well ; no complications, and Jonah can get back to doing all of the things he loves to do.
Wish you all the best mate and fast recovery 🎉
So glad to hear you have a date for your surgery Jonah. I know this has been a long painful road. We’re all pulling for you and praying for you. Can’t wait to see you back out on the farm with your family working again.
Please don't make statements that Jonahs surgery will cause a damper on your activities, he probably feels guilt enough!
Prayers for successful surgery & healing! He must follow instructions & not fudge too soon on putting weight, chores , anything detrimental! God bless🙏💕🙏
Jonah is so grown up! I’m so glad that you found a solution for him. The look on his face after the appointment was absolutely beautiful. Rebekah, I am so with you about customer service. I do it for a living, so I know how hard it can be, but the customer is always right …even when they’re dead wrong. 😂
Tell Jonah not feel so alone on his day of surgery,
I am having my surgery July 7th at 9:45 a.m. Phix, Az, tme just as well. I'll keep both of us in prayers 🛐 everything's going to turn out all Good, Jonah God bless you ✨
Lynn 💟
Jonah, you have loads of people rooting for you. From all over the globe. We all love you and know you deserve the best.
So happy you have an answer and a date! I will be praying for the very best possible outcome for Jonah!
Is it just me, or does it seem that Justin is not getting the severity of his son’s predicament? There’s a nervous energy that seems to be being surpassed and it’s uncomfortable seeing his attitude about the situation seeming like an inconvenience for him and his “movies”! I guess he’s just not realizing that it’s real not movie!
I had a hip replacement in the fall and it is much easier than one thinks. I did not have to do PT after surgery because they have you do it at home on your own. I feel like a new person. Good luck with surgery.
It's funny y'all ask Jonah what he thinks and then immediately interrupt him
Justin and Rebecca did the surgeon discuss how they would address Jonah’s shorter leg? I’ve had two hip replacement surgeries, my right leg was slightly shorter and the surgeon lengthened my leg 1/8 of an inch. Jonah said his is 3 inches shorter.
My prayers are with you guys! You’ve got this Jonah❤
OMG JUSTIN , SHUT UP AND LISTEN 😳
I literally felt lighter and happier for you all by the end of the video as well! Precious Jonah seemed so worried on the way to the appointment. I’m glad you’ve got a date set!!
Finally, they figured out what to do for you, Hallelujah. I'm the proud recipient of two Titanium hips. I'm almost 65 and I've been riding my motorcycle, just 3 wks after surgery, for the past 10 years, pain free. My only advice is only use a walker, the cane makes you wobble and limp side to side, the walker keeps you walking straight!!!! You've got your youth and physical strength on your side, you'll be spinning circles around all of us. 🥰
I’ve had hip surgery. Please let him stay more than just overnight. Give him time to be in the hospital when the anesthesia wears off. It’s such a shock that you need to be somewhere where they can reassure you that what is happening is normal. I know he wants to be home, but please take the time. Also, I am afraid that your summer plans of hiking and what not with him are not going to come to pass. There is a good long recovery time after this surgery. It takes time for bones to knit together with the prosthesis. God bless you and strengthen you for what is ahead.
No, the costumer is NOT always right. That's a very bad attitude to have and is actually a form of gaslighting.
However, as we say here in Germany: "The tone makes the music."
I don't know the review you left nor the reply of the owner of that company, so I don't know how that went down.
But it seems to me they had a good reason for closing early that day or otherwise they wouldn't have done it, especially with how the economy is right now.
Not knowing those reasons and instantly feeling neglected as a costumer because of that seems more unreasonable to me than the situation at hand was.
At least according to the information you provided in this video.
Besides, it's not just a company. A company consists of people too. Be that owner, cashier and everything in-between.
People have problems and sorrows they try to deal with as best as they can, like every single one of us.
They don't just suddenly stop having to deal with it just because they work costumer service.
As long as everyone is polite with each other there shouldn't be a problem because of a bit of inconvenience.
I know this is most likely not what you want to hear, but it's my honest opinion that you could have chosen to handle it with more grace and with a better outcome for everyone involved.
Let the light of Christ shine through you and brighten the world.
I do apologize if you perceive my comment as hurtful, that wasn't my intent at all.
I'm just not used to sugar coat stuff like this... I'm German and we're at the core very blunt but loving and well meaning 🥴
I'm so glad Jona is going to have his surgery so soon!
And what a splendid cake that was!
My sincere best wishes to the whole family, I pray blessings over you and yours!
They are rich now, they don't have the same compassion as they once did. Money changes people like that.
Jonah's a meat farmer and carnivore is just the diet he needs to get back to 100% after the surgery. Been there done that and you'll do great. Love you guys!
Exactly my partner had the operation and was out of bed within 48 hours each step at a time
Absolutely correct… great comment David.
Just think of muscle growth after surgery on carnivore! I have gained a lot of muscle just by eating zero carb carnivore at age 59.
@@tylerw1976 but vegan is carbs and sugar with very little protein.
@@tylerw1976 In what way is it healthier?
I could just cry for Jonas….i admire him so much as a homesteader and a designer/woodworker…he is so creative
He’ll have to have an antibiotic before every dentist appointment. Also, have them work on his lower back because of how he is walking now. I’ve had a hip replacement and having issues. Bone scan shows that the hip replacement is fine. I have scoliosis from how I was walking. Discs are bulged out the side. Caused nerve issues and pain down by my knee. It had also taken them 8 years to decide to do the replacement in my late 40’s and he’s only at 6 mos. I’m praying for him to heal completely.
Loving all the encouragement and prayers going in your family's direction. So sweet!
Prayers, positive thoughts and hugs to Jonah for positive surgery outcome, coming from Kentucky!!!
I remember watching when the youngest would be strapped around you as you worked around the homestead, the growth of this channel has inspired me to start uploading as well.
Prayers for Jonah!
Congrats Jonah! My orthopedic surgeon is booking 6 months out. My surgery is scheduled in Sept.! Can't come soon enough! I can't believe the 3 inch difference in his leg length in only 6 months! He's sprouting like a weed. Good luck Jonah!
I am glad to know that Jonah is finally going ahead with the total hip replacement. I am about to have my second hip replacement at 77 and looking forward to getting it taking care of. Hip surgery is a walk in the park, compared to knee replacement surgery. I believe Jonah will be so relieved, with a quick recovery. He will certainly be able to get back to doing chores, and playing like he used to.
My best wishes to Jonah for a successful recovery and bright future 😊
❤❤❤praying Johnna heals fast, will pray for the doctors that are performing the surgery.
So proud of Jonah. He has grown up fast as a farm hand, learning to look at criteria and make decisions a young boy rarely makes. This is just a higher rung on the cognitive ladder and he is handling it well. I know you as parents want the best, longest term results and have wisely assessed the situation. Here's to a fun summer, finally! Now if all the other boys stay in one piece, individually...! 😊🎉❤
Prayers for Jonah, for everything to go Perfect for his surgery. Love and Blessings ❤🎉
I think you are great parents however Jona needs to be heard and don’t dismiss his concerns. Don’t speak over him.
Jonah, you are a handsome young man. We be praying for a quick recovery. Be patient and allow yourself to heal .
Need to break Winney from chasing the vehicles as if she chases one she can get hit and injured or killed or the person hitting her could be injured or killed
Looking back at these videos will be such a treat
The customer is not always right. Any who thinks that is dumb
I'm so glad Jonah is finally getting his life back! I'm glad you guys finally got to some doctors that can help! It's great to see Jonah smile again! I love Lily's cake she made and Henry's haircut looks adorable! Yay, July 7th! I'll pray for Jonah's surgery to be perfectly successful! Thanks for this video Rhodes family!
I am so excited for Jonah and nerves at the same time. I am keeping him and all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs and blessings always
I love ya’ll but I hope after this total hip replacement you’ll put more faith and respect in surgeons, doctors and PHYSIO’s, and less faith and trust in women who do hot stones. Just follow the care and recovery plan the doctors give you 😭
Putting on my calendar and will be praying for Jonah, I know he will do great.
Oh that is so encouraging and must be a relief to you all. We keep praying
Dude you got this. I had my left hip replaced 15 years ago. Never regretted one little bit. Yes it’s going to hurt while recovering. But each day it gets better. My only problem is not making it through metal detectors in airports. Full body scanners are awesome.
😊
The customer is not always right. The expression is the customer is always right in matters of taste. People always leave that part out. A little cringy
It hurts to see a young man struggle like this, it's a big impact on his quality of life. Y'all are heading in the right direction now, July 7 will be here before you know it.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery 🙂👍
My wife was born with Congenital Hip Dysplasia...She grew up with constant pain unable to be as active as she would like. Her leg was an inch shorter then the other. She lost an appointment to the Naval Academy and West Point because of her issue. She is an amazing women who has overcome this and many other obstacles. She was not able to get a hip replacement until several years ago as the insurance companies and no doctors would take on the liability. The issue could have been fixed when she was young. Following her surgery she is a totally different person exuding vitality, active lifestyle and free of pain. We were crying as we watched his initial injury. Our prayer has been that someone would be able to help return him to a pain free and active life. As we were watching, we began to cry tears of happiness as he will be without pain and be able to have a life full of adve tires and fun.
*woman
It is going to be a lot of work after surgery and it is important not to mess up healing with chores.
LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS TO GO! Let's do this, and get Jonah back to his normal self! ♥
Thank goodness Jonah is getting the help he needs, it has been so hard watching your amazing young man go from the most independent hard working youngsters on you tube to someone who is crippled with pain and become reliant upon a crutch and to hear him say he can't do something or he is in pain has been so hard to watch. Any operation is scary especially for a youngster but after the initial pain of surgery subsides Jonah will be so happy that he has had the hip replaced. It may take a couple of months for him to build himself back to where he likes to be and the hardest part will be holding him back from doing too much too soon but it will be so lovely seeing him back on the farm doing what he loves again. Jonah truly is an amazing young man and a remarkable role model, not only for his siblings but for everyone who knows him or watches your videos - I think little Henry is going to grow up very much like Jonah. Love to you all xxxxxxx
Your family teaches us about permaculture farming and homesteading. And you all teach us about LIFE itself. Get Well Jonah! ❤
As a person that's worked in customer service for nearly 20 years. As much as the customer would like to always be right, they're not. Being a customer doesn't give you, the customer the right to treat an associate like crap, or be disrespectful when things don't go as you may like.
I am a long term customer service professional, "The Customer is Always Right" is the most abusive, arrogant and selfish attitude there is. That said, customer service is super important and treating customers well is critical and that can be done without giving in to every little whim.
Prayers out to Jonah!!! I believe that he will do very well healing!! God Bless You All!!
I quit watching you the minute you said 'what if he dies in surgry" It makes me sad to see you using him for click bate. Stop the addition and be a dad for your son. This is life altering and should be a family matter. There are some things that should be yours and not for the world. STOP it.
Is all about the mighty 💰💰💰💰
I can’t wait for current medical science to give Jonah back his life.
This is great great news!!! I will send good vibes out to the universe for you Jonah
Jonah, be fearless dear heart! Hip Replacements are common even for fragile elderly people.
Keep yourself FEARLESS as you keep reinforcing that you were BORN HEALTHY, You ARE HEALTHY & you MANIFEST YOUR HEALTH.
My hip implant is 6 years old & the leg difference is only ONE INCH. My shoe orthotic modification gives me Perfect Walking gait! No discomfort & no one can tell the difference!
Jonah, We Love & Admire You!
Jonah,
My name is Ernest and I just had total hip replacement on May 25th. Just want you to know it’s not as bad as you might think, I was walking with a cane 3 days after surgery and I’m an old man.
God has got this! And you will resume your life. Prayers for you.
Ask if they are doing the hip replacement from the front or ?
My 30’s son in law had it done from the front and 6 hours after surgery he was home and walked out to the mail box. He said he felt so much better than before. His looked so much like your sons X-rays.
It was closed with zip ties and was a easy recovery. Compaired to the other surgeries
It's the front. A 1.5 hour outpatient surgery.
Hoping and praying all goes well and he is able to run again and that he has no complications - it would be wonderful to see him get his life back.
Mikaleigh Peterson a popular advocate for the LION diet from Canada had 2 joint replacements as a teen... her story is inspiring. ❤
Entitled people like Rebecca are why food service people and store personnel get frustrated and end up returning the favor by being rude.
Closing time is just that CLOSING, not just oh OK 1 more customer, then another etc, they'd never be able to close.
Those people have lives that don't involve serving entitled jerks.
May God keep his hands around you Jonah and give you the best outcome with your surgery.
@Justin Rhodes
I'm by NO MEANS an expert where health issues are concerned. However, I have had 13 back surgeries. So I consider myself a bit more knowledgeable then the average person when it comes to back procedures. (Which are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than hip for sure!) But I did want to pop in and say that I'm really happy that y'all seem to be deciding against any fusions. The reason being is that I've had quite a few fusions over the years. The one thing that NO PHYSICIAN EVER WARNED ME ABOUT is the damage that fusions CAN DO to other parts of your body. Due to the lack of movement in a specific area, it can cause a ton more wear and tear and damage to other areas of your body having to work more or on overtime. Sometimes causing those body parts to have lots of pain, and to give way MUCH SOONER than usual. It's a catch 22 all the way around. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't! Extremely tough decisions. ESPECIALLY when making such a permanent decision for your child as we ALWAYS want to do what's best for them! And in my opinion, you guys are! Myself, I don't feel like any of my physicians were honest with me about the ramifications of fusion. I'm so glad and happy for Jonah's future that you've decided against this option!!
Great big hugs and loves to yall!!!
PS.
Just something to think about.
Day Surgery Vs. Overnight Hospitalization. Day surgery is really great and all. HOWEVER with a major surgery like a THR, it's good to really think about the possible level of pain Jonah could possibly be in after surgery. And the distance you guys are from the hospital. In such case, I would be a really strong advocate for at minimum one overnight stay. If not, possibly getting a hotel room close to the hospital for that first night just to see how he does. IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER that most often, the reason people seem to do well after day surgery and while they're still in recovery or the facility or hospital IS BECAUSE they're on very strong I.V. Pain medication. And those DON'T GO HOME WITH YOU! LOL!! They give you FAR LESS strength pain meds to go home on. And when those string IV Pain meds wear off in a couple hours after discharge..... I'm sad to say that IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY!
Also....If possible, try to get his prescription for his take home pain meds filled PRIOR to discharge. That way you don't have to stop off on the way home. Or have to wait too long to get his next dose in him causing him to get off his schedule. Stopping on the way home tends to have the ability to really mess things up at times!!
Thoughts and prayers will be with y'all! ESPECIALLY July 7th!!

🙏for successful surgery and complete healing!
I am tearing up with the thought the Dr can help him God Speed Jonah!
It is incredible the way these surgeeies and technology have changed since my grandma has her replacement surgery. And imagine by the time he is 40 what the possibilities could possibly be. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey Jonah. Wishing you healing days. Hang in there mom and pop. You raised a strong young man. 14:19
Ohh Rebekah is a karen....
Seems to be a fairly chronic condition for her. I assume it's untreated depression - she got it fiercely when they were on the road.
Praying for you Jonah. You have got this. You will be fine
Dear Dear Jonah: You are so smart and ingenious when it comes to learning and doing things on the farm. The accident has stopped you cold in so many ways and that has to be so hard for someone as creative as you are. I can relate to that active head space and I want you to dream your biggest and best dream and know your body will also take you where you need to go.
Praying for you Jonah. God bless you all!!!
Thank goodness there's a resolution. It will be well.
If Jonah need any dental work or a routine cleaning, schedule it now. Any disturbance of the bacteria around the gums can get into his bloodstream and cause an infection just about anywhere in the body. It'll be a minimum of 6 months after surgery when he can visit a dentist for any procedures. And, he will need a course of antibiotics prior to the visit. This has been explained to me 3 times in the past two years. Once before each of my total knee replacements and again before my reverse total shoulder replacement. I am 69 years old. Jonah, you will be fine!
