Hi everyone

Hope you are all doing ok.

Had a letter through this morning. My hydrotherapy will start on August 24th. I think someone pulled a few strings for me to get me in quick because there is usually a 6 week wait.I am down for 6 sessions. I hope this helps with the stiffness of the new hip due to not being able to walk very well and the pain of the collapsed one.. I was told at my assessment that I will really benifit from it.

Hi

I got my referral thru my back consultant,i was told by physio i was ok yet movement in left leg isnt as good as right hip.

Now having hydro every 2 weeks and see hospital physio every 3 weeks and her assistant in between. The assistant knows about hip replacement and runs a group so I feel quite positive,was losing faith.

Was told that once my four sessions end i can pay £20 for five sessions with a program and continue with hydro

hope you get in ok and find it helpful...water was lovely!!

Hi Ian

It has been a big complicaton since I had the first one done and the right hip went. Surgeon won't do the second one till all the swelling and tight skin  goes. But I can't mobalise enough now to help get rid of  what is left although I have really made the pain worse by trying so catch 22 situaton. Hopefully the hydro will help with it and when I see the surgeon he will get me done quick. He did promise me.

Hi Dee

.I am sure it is going to help me at least a little. It has got to be better than trying to do things I know I can't at the moment and struggling.

 I should be ok getting in. It is getting out that is going to be difficult. But they have equipment to help you get in and out any way.
