P's Dad has continued to be in a lot of pain so they gave him a nerve block to dull it & tried to get him more mobile but they couldn't. They tried more x-rays but still couldn't see anything so decided in the end to take him to theatre & open up his hip. When they did they found the ball of the socket was cracked but obscured by arthritis on x-ray & they replaced the joint. Poor old man it must have been so painful. The doctor said it will probably take quite a while to recover after having been immobile for several weeks but at least he's on the right track now.
