20 days post op - Walking
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all,
Well, I've walked around the block, twice, so far today (with an hours break in between), so that's a total of 1.57km 😊. On two sticks but I'm thrilled with that, no pain.
Like everyone else, in still struggling with the back sleeping, if anything the waking during the night with lower back pain seems to be getting worse. I'm still scared to weigh myself, I've tried to be really good, but I'm SURE I've put on weight.
Hope everyone is well and is enjoying the sunshine (if you have any 😊).

It's unusual to see sunshine in Glasgow 😊. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement (especially about the weight, I'm hoping some/most of its down to swelling).
Fiona 😊 Xx

I had a snooze in between walks, hope my leg doesn't swell like a balloon later.
That's interesting about the healing when we're asleep, and it makes perfect sense.
I hope we all get a good sleep tonight!

Really well done there - major milestones.
Tell me about the weight - I must have put on 12-14 pounds over the weeks, so it's back to the old diet and more exercise now.
Keep a record of how far you go, it'll surprise you in a few weeks time just how well you are doing.
Big hugs.

Keep it going and do NOT focus on any weight gain (remember your titanium hip weighs more than your old one). Now that you have moved off the scintillating staring at your four walls or ceiling routine, you will likely be able to manage your weight better.
Now you can start planning 'outings' ... we are so lucky to have this procedure available to us - even if it is not all we could want it to be.
I would love to hear what you are hankering to do next ...
