Liberated!

According to my hip wizzard of a consultant I am also off the hook at 5 weeks.Whooooooooo!!!!!!

I didn't post earlier because my partner and I have been out celebrating and after a couple of wines I am squinting writing this, so apologieseles.

 So, yes, first THR on June 30th 15 and leftie on 12th feb 16. Oh it's been tough, hasn't it? Yes, it has. 

I never planned for rubbish hips, it was shhhocking, and so bl**dy painful. 

The Hip Wizzard said I am "perfectly symetrical" as he gazed at my neon x-ray. I have a matching, glowing pair of 'Trinity' cups and 'Metafix' stems. He said the what was left of the cartilage looked as if it had been scooped out with a melon baller (slightly nicer than the raggedy tattered mess in the first one). I am glad they are gone, I was crippled.

The restrictions were laid out - no impact sports, no running, no pivoting, no twisting, ever, never and neither that funny leggy uppy knee outy thingy.

At this point I explained that I was dismissed from work (children, small, 3-4 years, active job, pivoting, dancing, running, impact stuff) and was trying to claim my pension.

He then did something to nearly get himself a hug - he dictated a letter, there and then, that put the pensions crew firmly on the losing side.

I wanted to hug him, he's a genius but he's shorter than me, it might have got awkward.

I held his hand instead.He patted my arm and said "You didn't smile when I first met you"

I tripped over my stick and we both smiled.

We agreed to a virtual interview  in My Clinical Outcomes to review my progress in 12 months and then I skipped off into the sunset.....well. no I didn't, I hobbled off because I had been sat for too long and my bum was numb.

Freedom calls.......
