    I was given a booket expalining when where and  how..as I now am on my own sadly it wasn't required but  I was just impressed that the medics had even thought of it!  I am sure you will get posts from the lucky couples who are still umm in the position of being able to  get to a lovely place..!!

    I better not read your replies!

      Oh Brilliant yes I used to be able to get my foot behind my head..not for going to 'Happy Places' for I would be laughing too much!  That is prob why I needed a hip replacement!

    I think Michael's list of advice is spot on. OA had blocked the path to a happy place for us for quite a while but being creative, well, we managed!

    I truly believe that closeness is very healing and cuddles were very important to me. My gorgeous partner made it very clear how much he still loved me and after a glass of wine at 6 weeks after the first hip we had a lovely 'spooning'.

    I didn't break anything wink but still had very painful OA in the other hip.

    I have just had the second hip done and it would silly to say that I am thinking abut it at the moemnt but in four weeks time, well, he'd better watch out!!!!

      Laughing here!

      Although a little younger than these two I am hoping that my lovely man and I will soon be doing this again....

    Hi I'm a 48 yr old female. In March this year 2017 I had a Bilateral total hip replacement ( double) at the same time being very rare . I'm now 9 weeks in doing ok but the ' lovely place ' not happening yet . I have a very understanding partner . I had osteoarthritis plus Dxplesia .So having the Dxplesia was very flexible I'm hoping this will continue. I've been told to stick to 90 degrees . I havnt come across a female who's had a double together. Especially my age . Anyone out there who can give me more info please xxx
