For the last few days I seem to have been able to do things I haven't done yet at 13 weeks post op. Wlaking almost all of the time without my stick, still a bit wary when outside though. This morning I feel like a grown up, as I managed to shower without my stool, so standing up like I used to for the first time. hehehe. I feel as if I have reached the moon. Sometimes I moan about the excersises taking over but they are sooooo worth it. Every day is a different day and nearer to normality.  Just thought I would update you. xx

    Great to hear, it's so good to rejoin normality. As you do theses things you realise what has been missing preop. To day I went for a pedicure and walked in toe post sandles. Result no problems with the nail varnish drying!

      Funnily enough I mentioned a pedicure not long ago. I just feel that after all we've been through there should be some pampering. xx

      There maybe a full year but it seems to be going quicker than it usually does. Have to get a bit mobile I'm going on the Norfolk Broads on the 15th September on a boat for a week. How are you getting on now?

    Thats good news Gillcat, I have to wait for that day, 10 weeks time when my second one gets as well as my first one, you must be so pleased to be getting back to normal, I know I am.

    Kind regards Ian.
