Ok, here's the scoop! It's broken and unstable. The ball broke cleanly in 2 pieces and is impacted, we'll, the force in hitting the ground, impacted it onto the neck of the bone. If the ball would have or if it does fall off the neck, a hip replacement would have to be performed.
What the doc wants to do is go in and put 3 screws in it to hold the ball in position until it heals. Phew! :yesss: better than a hip replacement. (3) 1/4" incisions better than a 9" one.
So scheduled for the surgery Tuesday. Going in early Tuesday morning, have the surgery some time shortly after being admitted, and a 1 night over stay, if everything goes well. Yahoo!:ya

That’s great news!! Well, kinda sorta. I’m still sorry you have to go through any of it, but happy about the simpler procedure!
Yeah, me too, Blooie. I did argue with the doc anyway but in the end, I decided it would be better than a hip replacement!;)
