Hi,

I've just read the latest comments regarding keeping a diary and thought how about we have an on-line daily blog where we can record our feeling for that day in just ONE LINE OF TEXT!

So I'll start with:-

Woke up in pain, took meds, sun shining, read forum, feel better already!

So how do you feel today?

      I can't recall when it was I could tie my own shoelaces,but at least 12wks..

      But I do remember whilst walking to the shops having to ask a complete stranger to tie my laces which had come undone, which was a bit embarrassing tbh.

    Hi there.

    After my first THR the last thing on my mind was keeping a diary..

    However I think it's a good idea..as time passes you soon forget what it was like.

    Im due to have my other hip replaced and I think I shall try to keep a record to show my progress (or otherwise)this time.

    Thanks.

    Good idea, Jayive!  I did report my progress over the first couple of weeks on here. Will be 4 weeks on Monday since my op.  Think the one liner needs to start with time since op!

    Slept better - still on back but only one pillow - no need for meds during day!

      Probably right Lynn although until I read this forum I was totally unaware of different approaches! Are you in the UK or States? NHS UK doesn't give you an option as far as I'm aware!
