3 months today since my op!

happy birthday hip you are doing really well!
i can usually walk without a limp - exceptions are at the end of the working day when i am knackered and when i stand up after having sat for too long
i carry my folding, flowery cane for protection rather than support, i am on the exercise bike every morning before work and work is teaching so i rarely sit down during the day!
people tell me how well i look - no pain so i guess my face is happier!
trying to think of the worst part of the experience -the first thing that comes to mind was my total panic attack at the thought of going downstairs on the first morning home so I became Rapunzal stuck in my tower for a day, but when I noticed the bannister I realised i could do it!
the worst pain was getting into bed OMG it was painful but gradually eased
the best things about the whole experience - realising who my real friends are and how lovely they are
realising that after 30 years my husband could learn to hoover a carpet
having my then 10 month old granddaughter beat me to walking independently round the house by 3 days
and - no pain!!!!
also it makes one re evaluate ones life - a truly life changing experience in the best possible way
onwaeds and upwards indeed xxx
