Hi hippies
Almost 7 weeks and doing well mostly with baths n driving n stairs and 2 hour walks.
Today tho was like swimming in treacle. Putting on sox was hard, then op leg felt heavy and thigh hurt on walking. Then an afternoon meeting in heavy soft low chairs which were difficult to get in or out of. Hard to react quick to getting chairs moved into a circle for group discussion
Now home and going to rest. Yesterday put on jeans standing up and I climbed stairs sans hands. Today not so good. Frustrating.

From what I've read bound to get these types of days you experienced, then the next easier and better. Bound to happen I suppose. Keep well.

Strangely enough I was just pondering that nearly 6 weeks on and I feel I've stalled a bit. Had visitors at the weekend and did quite a bit, surprised how tired I have felt and how stiff and achey I am.
Low soft chairs doesn't sound good. Sorry you are suffering. It's as if the body is saying remember what you've had done or I will remind you!!
Tomorrow will be better xxx

Good to hear from you....
Strange how consultants and surgeons say different things....me handing crutches back at 6 weeks...you graduating from walking frame later than me. Also just had my second bath again being allowed to at 6 weeks.
Gently encourage you to do low key stretching exercises 3 or 4 times a day.
Good luck with your healing. I'm hoping to resume my own progress too!

I suppose we all have setbacks some time or other. Today I decided to help Bob in the garden, he was mowing the front lawn and I decided to trim round the edge of the back lawn with the long handled shears. Only got halfway and my back ached, my operated hip okay but the other leg started to ache in the groin and buttock so had to stop. Just hope this isn't a sign that my other hip is going to need replacing soon. I suppose I will just have to wait and see. I agree it is frustrating.
