The best... Realising that I could manage on public transport on my crutches, and having some lovely days out by the sea. ( It was summer.)

Judith ,I miss the oceans smell .I could taste the sea on my lips.I don't miss the smell of the cranberry Boggs though . Years ago when I was a child my father and I slept at the beach in California.I guess it was like beach camping.Loved it .Glad you got to make that memory Judith.

Sleeping on my back well If u can call it that! In and out of bed nightmare! Having to rely on other people I e struggled with recovery this time around even tho I've had a good recovery I'm being in patient I've been irritable hopefully very soon I can see the positives,I don't enjoy being off wrk or spending time at home! The bit I did like was my son coming in from school me being home and his tea being ready felt like we had quality time

Worst part of recovery was being 6 weeks non weight bearing. 🤔🤔.... Best part was finally being able to sleep on unoperated side!

Ok worst for me is still sleeping on my back!!
My bum hurts😂😂😂😂
Best is 14 days today after the op I could use 1 crutch to get around kitchen! And I put on 3 pounds since the op ( lost a lot of weight due to pain and painkillers- and I was thin anyways so looking good)
Hope everyone is doing good!!! And this forum is the best😄😄😄

Ann, I had horrid dry mouth, too, after both of my surgeries (general anesthetic). But mine only lasted a few hours each time. Can't imagine 3 days of it. How awful! What sweet surprise, that visit from your son!

It's funny isnt it i think that was worse than my hip pain! Getting out of bed day 1 with the physio making me walk up the hallway and back wasn't very nice either! I'm dreading the dry mouth after hip op 2 next year too, might have to reconsider ha ha
