Dear All

Just wanted to share some good news with all the lovely fellow Hippies who have been so supportive, helpful and down right wonderful over the last few weeks since I came home from hospital. I saw my consultant this morning and all seems ok and I am allowed to drive again - can't wait! I am going out with my husband first before I venture out on my own. I can do most things now so I am going to concentrate on building up my stamina over the next 4 weeks so I can start to look after my grandchildren again. He has also put me on the waiting list to have my left hip done.

Hooray!

    Well done Linnet, you sound like you are making fantastic progress.  It's so good to read positive stories ahead of my own THR.

    Like you I need both done, if you don't mind I have a couple of questions, how many weeks post op are you and where do you live?

    good luck with your first drive out.

      Hi Christine

      im 7.5 weeks post op so slightly less than you. I'm just the same after seeing the doctor this morning I went out for few hours with my husband to the garden centre and I'm feeling tired and a bit achey. So building up my stamina maybe needs to be done a bit slower cheesygrin! Glad your recovery is going well

      Best wishes
