The day after Boo-D's hip replacement surgery, he was up and walking with help from a walker and the physical therapist. I personally thought that they got him up and walking less than 12 hours after surgery. Two days later he was discharged from the hospital and was placed in a nursing home that specialized in rehab.
During his stay in the nursing home, Boo-D had to return to the hospital several times to receive blood transfusions as his myeloma was also making him anemic. In addition, he's been given pain medication to lesson the pain he had from the hip surgery as well as his back. Unfortunately all this medication which sometimes affects the kidney and liver function were possibly making him very lethargic.
As of Tuesday, October 18, Boo-D has returned to Kaiser to receive several units of blood and is no longer in the ER but still under observation.
