All Restrictions Lifted at 4.5 weeks post op
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi Hippies, I've been to see the consultant and he has said all restrictions lifted (although still have to be sensible) and he will see me again in 10 months time. Came out of there carrying my one crutch I had gone with and a 'fit to work note' which means after a short few days away I will be back to work on the 6th. Will really like knowing what day it is and getting back to some normality. I feel I have been very lucky and made an amazing recovery. Hoping all you fellow hippies out there get on really well and are soon fully recovered. The having no pain is a wonderful feeling I feel as if life has been on hold for the past 11 months and wish I could turn back the clock and make the decision to have had the operation sooner.
Take Care All x

I'm starting half days from home, not at that tilting point yet!
Little over two weeks post op myself and cannot agree more on the feeling of wasted time. The insane amount of pain reduction is almost euphoric. Which can be dangerous!
I'm hoping for a similar recovery time, that would be great! I do have to go and have the other done later in the year, but being able to have a near normal vacation in between woukd be awesome 😊
Good luck on the 6th! Do let us know how all goes!

I'm 52. I've waited 10 years to get to this point, and the terror of it going wrong is keeping me on track :-)

I'm glad I didn't have to go through that. Poor you.
One thing I do know is that I will be well sedated with the next hip...
