Man, I am jealous. That sounds fun. Right now, I can't even get out of the house without help.

I had hip replacement surgery in mid-December, and it went all kinds of wrong.

New hip dislocated when they took me off the Xray table, they put me
back under to relocate it, it didn't work, the stem went through my thigh,
they woke me back up told me I was going to have another major surgery in a couple of hours to
put a larger sturdier hip in since my bones were bigger than they expected.

The second surgery normally 1-hour procedure took over 3, they cracked my femur which they had to cable it together.
My normal15 pints of blood level went down to 7.7 pints, they never told me this but, in my mind, they darn
near could have killed me.

Instead of getting out the next day or at most 2 days after, they kept me in the Hospital and Physical therapy ward of the Hospital a total of 3 weeks!

I am walking with a walker right now and have in home rehab going, which they keep telling me I'm pushing hard and trying to get ahead of the curve, at the same time they are telling me I have to be patient and not try to overdo it. They are saying this will take months to heal and recover.

I hate it, but they keep telling me in a year this will be a distant memory. I look forward to that day!

But, for now I am land locked in the house. My blood level is STILL not up to my normal.


Sounds like total hell FB. Glad to hear that you seem to be turning the corner though.

Sure hope your medical bills aren't reflecting that you are paying for their mistakes.


And not taking the advice of another poster (I forget who it was) that flat out admitted on another thread he doesn't pay medical bills…..

I've paid a few thousand. Hopefully that is all. I've maxed out the deductible, and out of pocket so hopefully there is nothing else.

I'm not sure I believe him. Seems like they (medical companies) would not just let it go and would all their tools to go after him. Especially if the amount starts to get high.

Oh I believe him.

Known several guys who willingly agreed to their divorce settlements……then did not to pay their child support.

Known many who signed documents at their house closing to follow all neighborhood HOA rules…….and then felt 'special' enough not to.

My favorite was a couple who signed mortgage documents on a huge home we built for them…. then never made a single payment. Took also a year for the bank to evict them.

I remember at one point they were predicting 1.7 inches of ice where I live.

Thank goodness it was almost all sleet here and snowing a bit right now.

That would have done serious damage here.

That's horrible. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you need booze, I can make that happen.

Which I don't get.

If you fail to pay child support they can take it directly out of your paycheck.

Hoa can accrue fines, causing legal troubles (lawsuits) but yes some "fine" you but do nothing about it and are toothless.

Eviction can make it hard to get future home loans, apartment rentals, impacts credit ratings that take a decade to recover, etc.
