Ardena & Bruce - “The Miracle of the Permanent Hip”

When my husband was 15 years old he was hit by a truck and his hip was broken. Doctors managed to put it together but years later a full hip replacement was needed. A second revision hip replacement was required years later and he was a lot older in age and the operation was more risky for what they needed to do. He went in for surgery, the operation was very intense as bone grafting was necessary, but the operation went well and I was wondering how many more surgeries his hip could take. When he came out of surgery he was swollen everywhere, his whole body was puffed up like a balloon and he was like that for 3 days. On the third day a man walked into the hospital room and stood beside his bed. Myself and my two sons were there. This man, who looked very angelic and pure, said to my husband "you will have this hip for life". I was relieved thinking that he would not need another hip surgery. This man left the room and I later went out into the hallway and saw the surgeon who had done the hip surgery. I said to the hip surgeon that a man had come into our room, I described the man to him. The hip surgeon said he did not see or know of this man that I was talking about. I knew, wow, this man must have been an angel who had told us this. The hip is still good to this day.

The Miracle of the Permanent Hip

By Ardena

When my husband was 15 years old, he was hit by a truck and his hip was broken. The doctors managed to put it back together, but years later, a full hip replacement was needed. A second revision hip replacement was required years down the road when he was a lot older in age, and the operation was much more risky for what they needed to do. He went in for surgery, and the operation was very intense as bone grafting was necessary. Thankfully, the operation went well, but I was left wondering how many more surgeries his hip could possibly take.

When he came out of surgery, he was swollen everywhere; his whole body was puffed up like a balloon, and he remained like that for three days. On the third day, a man walked into the hospital room and stood right beside his bed. Myself and my two sons were right there. This man, who looked very angelic and pure, looked at my husband and said, "You will have this hip for life." I was immediately flooded with relief, thinking that he would never need another grueling hip surgery again.

The man left the room, and a short while later, I went out into the hallway and saw the surgeon who had performed the operation. I told the surgeon that a man had come into our room, and I described his appearance to him. The hip surgeon looked at me and said he did not see or know of any man matching that description in the ward. I knew right then—wow, this man must have been an angel sent to give us that promise. And his hip is still perfectly good to this day.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

• Part 1: A History of Trauma — Following a severe truck accident at age 15, my husband underwent multiple complex orthopedic procedures over his lifetime, eventually requiring a high-risk second revision hip replacement with bone grafting in his later years.

• Part 2: The Swollen Aftermath — Though the intense surgery was successful, the physical toll left his entire body severely swollen and puffed up like a balloon for three consecutive days in his recovery room.

• Part 3: The Heavenly Visitor — On the third day, as my two sons and I kept watch by his bedside, an exceptionally pure, serene man walked seamlessly into the room and approached my husband.

• Part 4: The Lifelong Promise — Standing beside the bed, the visitor delivered a profound message of comfort, stating authoritatively: "You will have this hip for life."

• Part 5: Unseen by the Surgeon — After the man departed, I inquired with the head orthopedic surgeon in the hallway and described the visitor. The surgeon confirmed that no such individual was on the floor or permitted in the recovery area.

• Part 6: An Enduring Miracle — The realization washed over us that an angel had been dispatched to declare a permanent end to my husband's surgical trials. Decades later, that promise stands true, and his hip remains perfectly strong.
