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

    Dearest Gillcat, 

    So happy for you !!! interesting how, eventhough we know that we are all different and healing at our own pace, we still compare ourselves to others - 

    big accomplishments and keep the "feeling good" energy within ..

    big warm hug

    Hard to believe it's 13 weeks. Yours was one of the first posts I read. I think it was the day before your op and you were scared. I not only showered without chair today but I got in to my over bath shower. I have a flat space at far end of bath and I sat on that and swung legs over. Getting back out was a mission tho so I don't think I'll do that again unless someone is in the house. Every little thing is appreciated now.xxx
