hi all, just had a call from surgeons secretary, am now able to fully weight bear, after using a glide chair around the house and a wheelchair outside , due to extensive metal work in hip as had a hole in socket which they found when operating. My bilateral hip replacement has been nothing but amazing no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

So onto crutches, feel a bit nervous about walking again hope these new hips hold up.

Hope everyone is well.

    Sounds like you are coping really well.

    How long ago was op?  

    You will love to be free on crutches and before you know it one stick!

    good luck

      Thanks catol, there are a lot more people worse off than me, I just get on with it, going to hospital on Monday for a pre op as having my right knee replaced soon, had the left one done last September, so it's still a bit challenging walking as knee is bone on bone, lol.

      kaye.

    What great progress for you. Makes one little hip replacement look a doddle in comparison. Best wishes to you for your recovery.

      Thank you Gillian, one hip or two it's a big thing for anyone   Just can't believe what a difference it's made already, as before was a complete nightmare, couldn't walk, pain was awful spent most of my time in tears and pure frustration.

      Hi Renee, your so kind, I gave always been of the attitude , just get on with it , so many people worse off than me, do have off days but then think how lucky I am. I'm sure a positive out look aids recovery, but not for everyone. Xx
