Seen Consultant

I went back to see the consultant yesterday, about my other hip. He has said that as it's not too bad at the moment he would rather delay doing the op for 6 months. If it gets worse I have to ring his secretary for an earlier date.This gives a longer time for my first hip to heal properly. I am 18 weeks post op with my first hip. I am walkiing without support although sometimes it's a little sore round the scar. I am so glad I had it done, my life is returning to normal slowly.
We have just had a holiday on the Norfolk Broads and I didn't find any problem at all with getting on and off the boat, did my excersises and walking when I could, but really had a great time and feel so much better for it.
I hope everyone before and after hippies are all doing ok and have plenty of support and help to get them through. It's great to be back amongst my friends on here too.
Love Gillxxx

I have my appointment 2nd November for my other hip. The MRI said there was no sign of AV but there is arthritis there and he said. " I think we are looking at a hip replacement " but find out weather it's a repair or replacement on the second. I'm three months in on my first hip replacement and I am back at work an restricted duties until the result from my consultant. So fingers crossed. X
you take care. X

My biggest worry now is the financial strain the extra 4 months are having, while I'm on SSP and Income Support.

I really don't have any problems with my new hip, I do excersises and walk every day, I can't kneel down to garden yet but that will come I'm sure. I am driving now more than I ever did and really enjoying life. Hope this helps xxx
