Ani was done and back in her room at 8:45 last night. What a long day. She ended up having a 1/2 inch section taken out of her left femur and the hip socket deepened by "scooping a bit of bone out". The ligaments were shortened to pull the leg back in, and the tendons in her muscles were lengthened so her tone won't pull the ball back out.
What a long day, I'm back here in the morning. Ani had a pretty good night, considering. She has a bit of a fever, and is uncomfortable at times. She's on a epidural and Valium, so the pain shouldn't be too much of an issue, but when there's a sharp noise, she startles, and pulls against the work that was done, and that is painful. We'll get through it.
