Hi All

I am 6 week post op tommorrow and I am still finding my operated leg very weak, i can walk with one crutch but I have no chance without. Almost all my range of movement is back and I am pain free, i can sleep for england (at last) I really really didn't function on no sleep. are there any tips or hints you lovely lot can give me???? I dont know where i'd be without you lot, you've been my anchor in a very stormy journey.

I know I'm not a patient patient LOL

hugs to all

Kim

    Hi Kim I am 6 weeks post op today and see the surgeon for check up tomorrow. I am still using my stick otherwise I waddle like a penguin without it. I feel very sore and achey today as I went out with a friend. Today and sat  too long on an uncomfortable chair, then went for a long walk aargh!! 

    However I felt like this just over 2 years ago when I had my other hip done so this is perfectly normal. It just takes time so just go with the flow and then take a nap when it gets too much - it works wonders. Then when the call comes for cake and coffee outing just  go! Good luck. Polly
