All Good
Posted , 15 users are following.
Today I had my one year check up and despite recently slipping on slush while walking down a ramp, and running accidentally, both of my hips are perfect! It has been a long haul with three THR's, but I have arrived!
For those who have already "Graduated", you know what I mean. For those who are just starting out or in the middle somewhere, just know that your day will come too. Walking normally again and without excruciating pain is an amazing gift. All the struggles to arrive at this place were worth it.
"This too shall pass" You only have ONE chance to heal right, so make the best of it and give it all the inner strength you have. Never give up. Cry if you need to, take your pain medications because they are a very important part of your recovery, rest and exercise.

I have "this too shall pass" on a post it note on my computer. I find it is applicable in many of life's ups and downs.
Keep up the good work, Dawn.
