Years ago, JOhn had broken his hip and they put a prosthesis under local anesthetics. 10 days later, he was almost back to normal and recovered totally. 6 years later, he broke the other hip. They did it under general anesthetics but he also had 20+ years of PD and was older. Didn´t make it. If it is due to the anesthetics, your wife should get back to her previous stage once it washes off. Check for any sign of infection which never helps PWPs. Hope she gets better soon maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
