I was wondering how I would get on standing to sing, for up to 15 minutes during choral society concerts. Found out tonight I will be at the end of a row and allowed a chair! Good because I can walk for a fairly long time but find standing for a long time still difficult.
got a phone call from the physio today. Had asked for hydrotherapy, she thought I was too good for it! I said I wanted some exercises I good do in the water when I went swimming, so she is going to refer me.
no one at work has mentioned hips all week, really feel I am back in the groove!
I am about 15/16 weeks I even find standing for long periods uncomfortable, I am waiting for my other hip to be done looks as if it will be in November I spoke with the consultants Secretary today.
Hi Maggi,
look at the Royal Berkshire Nhs trust info and exercises leaflet, just google it. I found this most helpful and did the exercises advised in water at my local pool from 3 weeks.
yes, I would have the chair, standing for a period of time is hard for about 6 months. Sitting will look better than having to keep changing position.
best wishes, Betty
Hi Maggie,
Very considerate ... definitely have the chair close by in case you need to sit down or even lean on it for support ...
What a great feeling to be back in the groove again !!!
Amazingly well done -
Give yourself a big hug
