Hi all,

I thought I would share some positive experience for those of you who are about to have the operation done or are on early days recovery...there has been things that I have missed doing such as swimming and going on long walks . Well I swim now -- breast stroke ! And yesterday the sun was shining and I put my walking boots on and went for a walk by the river...I had my headphones on and it was wonderful...I walked 8 miles..I was tired when I got back and a little achey all over but nothing serious...I slept like a log and this morning feel fine !! I am so glad that I had the operation as I've got my life back ...

    Today, my wife and I did a 4km walk, then I went straight to the gym and did a full supervised workout. Wow I can feel it now, but according to the 'wellness' app I have burned off 938 calories today - I just know I will sleep OK tonight!

    It feels so good to be getting my hip working properly and my life back on track again.
