Please put my bride, Cissy, in your thoughts and prayers for a hip replacement early Friday morning. We have been through one of these before and it did not go well. We have made it through a brain tumor as well. The only reason she is still here is from prayer.
Bless you,
Harry

Harry,
My wife, Bev and I will keep your wife, Cissy in our prayers. A friend of ours recently had a hip replaced and she told me it was hard to come back but she did it, through a lot of therapy.
Please keep us updated on her progress, OK? God bless you both there.
Sincerely,
Wes

Harry, my mother in law has had two hip replacements on her left side and three on her right and just had a refurbishment to one that was acting up. She's 87 and getting around pretty well now. Healing has a great deal to do with spirit and attitude so be strong for her - nonetheless, I'll be praying that she'll be dancing with you real soon.
My Best, Dean

Harry, best wishes for Cissy's having a speedy recovery from the replacement surgery. Your bride is blessed, many guys I know would not even mention something like this on an Internet site. Just another indicator of the care and concern we all share with our brother Parker-ists both here, and with those we can sometimes hunt, shoot or just gather with socially.
FYI- one of my favorite shooting companions is 81- retired from Real estate (somewhat) and has had both hip and knee replacement surgeries done over past 10 years- and he is out for birds with the best of them, and a fine wingshot to boot (M21- not a Parker- yet!)
We are blessed to have modern medicine and surgical techniques today, but anytime a loved one goes "under the scapel" there is always concern. I'll keep you both in thoughts and prayers-

Harry, You both are in our thoughts and prayers. The hip folks that I know all agree that the regiment of therapy is critical. Make the best of every situation. Things will work out.

I am a big believer in prayer and Thanks to all of you who have had Cissy in your thoughts and prayers. She is out of recovery and in her room. The Doc is going to have her on her feet this afternoon. This is so much better than her last hip replacement where she could not bear weight on that leg for six weeks. We are encouraged that she will be off the walker within the week.

Harry that's great, just saw this thread and I am glad all is going well. Just tell her my Grandmother had a hip replacement when she was 92 and she complained about being a little stiff for the next 17 years.... and got along fine

Harry: I'm happy to hear that Cissy is progressing well. My great aunt, who helped raise me, was Dr. Austin Moore's head nurse here in Columbia, SC. Dr. Moore pioneered the artificial hip replacement which I believe is still called the "Moore Hip Prosthesis". One of his early patients at the Moore Clinic, here in Columbia, was Arthur Godfrey who I was allowed to visit & get his autograph.
Best Regards, George

Cissy has low blood pressure and lost 500 ml of blood in the opperation. Poor thing did not have the blood pressure to get pain meds until this morning. She has been a real trooper and her walk this morning was so fast it caught her socks on fire.....
This is going so much better than last time and again I want to thank everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers.
Warmest, Harry

No one likes to see loved one's in pain and distress.Love and encouragement will get your wife and you thru this. Just keep that new Parker you bought for her just one step out of her reach and she will get it, eventually . God Bless both of you, we will keep you in our prayers and thoughts.jvb
