Hip Replacement 9 weeks ago

Posted , 9 users are following.

well coming up for 9 weeks post op, have to say all that bothered me was the muscle contraction on my operated side which was extremely painful, thankfully that has lessened considerably,  thanks to the exercises and the rubber inflated wedge cushion for the car. No problems with the wound or scar that others seem to have. In fact nothing to moan about except being a little stiff in the mornings and I still need my stick otherwise I waddle. I've been told that's because I'm not weight bearing yet. I'm going to bed tonight feeling really positive and thankful that things have gone so well, the sleepless nights and sitting up in the chair for half the night are in the past. Dare I say that I'm even getting used to sleeping on my back, never thought that would happen.

i hope everyone else's recovery improves and that you all start to sleep well and be able to get on with your lives. Take care all x
