Yay happy for u and sure follow us it does feel amazing to be on the mend and as scared as I was going in.. I'm very happy that I have done it. Once.my 3 months are up tho I go in for the left. At least now I know what to expect
happy healing
Things are much better at this point. Sure walking is still a challenge even with the Walker but slowly I am gaining some of my independence back. I am very fortunate to have my hubby home with me.. taking 6 months off work to take care of me since once I hit the 3 month mark I shud be going in for the left. I think it will be welcomed this time because this other one feels so much better. And to think I honestly thought about staying the way I was. I was super petrified. I am so happy I did it. My mood has improved.. I'm so happy.. giddy even and I have lessened my doses of my pain meds. I actually at times don't remember to take some (bedtime especially) and wake up 7 or 8 hrs later thinking Oh yea I forgot to take them last night and I'm achy as I'm trying to get out of bed in the morning but it isn't unbearable pain. I haven't had one of those moments since surgery... MIRACLE right there!!! I know it's impossible but I just wanna beable to get up... walk and shake what my momma gave me.. like right now because I feel so darn good. Lol I have a few concerns which I will address on the 9th and I have opted for the medical cannabis.. have an appointment on the 17th for that. I really don't like the opiod pain meds.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! And Happy Healing
Well... I went to emerg yesterday as I was having complications with the blood thinner I was on... they did an ultrasound and seen that I have no clots in my legs.. so off the blood thinner I am.. yay..
I'm walking real well and the therapist that visits my home says I'm doing/healing quite well. I don't have many concerns.. except 1. Did all of u have a "buldge" around the incision area.. well slightly bigger area (I can.cup it in my hand). Everyone that has seen it.. says it's normal. But I find it a bit disturbing. I've been told it's just the swollen tissue. I have virtually no pain.. just my muscles feel tired.. and I know that's to be expected With all the walking I've been doing (yes with an aid still) and the exercises. I'm alot more mobile than I expected.
That's great! I too was hunched over in pain before. If I shopped I had to lean over the cart. In the end I hated to go out.. I was basically stuck in bed.. the pain was excruciating. The way I feel now.. just over 2 weeks since I had surgery is.. I'm soon to get my groove back lol. Well with the exception that I do have to have the other hip done as well.. but that one doesn't hurt nearly as much as my right one. I'm happy to hear u are doing well and I have alot to look forward to in the upcoming months
