Do you think will be okay if just rest once we return from our 6 day break? Has been wonderful being able to walk so much pain free but thino may have overdone it? X

I am celebrating 6 months too, completely sympathise as I have really overdone it this weekend. I walk my dog for over an hour most days over hilly fields and fell over last week. Over stretching some muscles!
Then spent Saturday cleaning and re sealing our shower. Lots of kneeling and getting up and down as it needed several coats.
Then family bowling trip yesterday!
Did not even occur to me that I would have difficulty bowling????
How stupid am I!!
I also have OA in my hands and "clicky" knees. Like you I just think I can power on as normal before hip got bad.
Well I paid for it with a achey hips and a sleepless night.
Would much rather have been in Portugal. Very jealous. However planning a trip to Rome soon which will be lots of walking so I will be forarmed with your story.
It has made me realise I need to do some proper lunges and squats to keep building up those muscles, I have been busy recently and kind of "forgot" I had a hip replacement that is still in recovery phase!
I am sure a couple of rest days and we will be right as rain.
Note to all hippies. - Bowling is NOT easy, luckily something I can live without. 😀

Hi Kristen
Well back in the cold UK again.
It's funny isn't it that we expect to be fully recovered by now. Has been lesson to me to take care but hip lot easier today . And like you I have been lax with my exercise but will start again to strengthen hip and leg.
I was thinking of going bowling with my family soon and didn't occur to me may nit be sensible idea.
Enjoy Rome but make sure you pace yourself
