I am a hippy, finally 3rd time lucky i got my new left hip last monday. In hospital 2 nights and i’m recovering well, few ups and downs, a bit emotional but its to be expected. Managing pain well. Frustrated because i cant do my usual housework or look after my grandson, but I will get there.
Hi Cherlyn congratulations!!!
Hope your journey goes as planned. I am day 37 and will be having my second hip replacement soon although I am dreading it because I know how tough the recovery has been! My son keeps reminding me of the end result which will be having my life back which was took from me when my hips deteriorated. Sending love hugs and prayers with this message X
Well done, keep up the exercises and do use both crutches until you are walking strongly. and with a good gait. Cheers Richard
at last its over . i have mine tomorrow !
make sure you do not over do the exercises and have plenty of rest
take care
Congratulations! Take your meds, do your exercises and rest when you need to. I wish you a speedy recovery.
And Doodle, all the best tomorrow!
many thanks
Hi Cherilyn
How are you getting on now. Are you managing to sleep at night. Take the time to rest and leave the housework. I’m 2 weeks after it and i’m now managing the housework to a degree and getting loads of hugs from my grand kids.
And i get emotional as well but this is normal!
Thinking of you on the road to recovery and sending hugs
Mary
