❤️ Jessica's Surgery Update — Asking for Continued Prayers 🙏
First, I want to sincerely thank everyone for the love, prayers, and well wishes throughout my surgery and recovery. Your support has meant so much to me!
I am now three days post-op from my right hip replacement. While the hip surgery itself went well, I've unfortunately experienced some unexpected complications.
Yesterday, I began having significant pain and swelling below my knee, along with bruising from blood tracking down my leg and noticeable warmth around my knee and hip. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot, which thankfully came back negative.
Unfortunately, today (Saturday), the pain has continued to worsen, especially deep within my calf muscle. The pain has been severe and difficult to manage, even with medication. With the continued swelling, warmth, and increasing discomfort, my doctors are still trying to determine exactly what is causing these symptoms.
I have now been admitted to Floyd Hospital overnight for observation. They plan to repeat the ultrasound tomorrow to check again for blood clots, as well as evaluate for possible infection or other complications.
The good news is that my hip replacement itself appears to be doing well. It's the unexpected issues with my lower leg that have made recovery a little more challenging than anticipated.
I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful that we will have some answers soon. ❤️
I'm asking for a few extra prayers tonight — for answers, relief from the pain, and a smooth recovery moving forward.
Thank you all again for your continued love, support, and prayers. I truly appreciate each and every one of you. I'll keep everyone updated as I learn more.
🙏❤️ One day at a time.
