Appreciate your help, I'm in pain.
Thanks!
Was Dr Duke (in Ocala) one of those Drs? My wife had hip replacement on 12/21/2021 by Duke and came home the same day. He doesn’t cut all the muscle but spreads it to get access . I couldn’t believe she was going to come home same day but literally 4-1/2 hours after surgery was completed she was in my car. She is jumping around on one of those mini trampolines (rebounder) now.
