This time last year
Posted , 11 users are following.
This time last year I was sitting in a cublicle waiting for the surgeon to come and see me to complete the consent form. Can’t believe it’s a year since the op. It has been so life transforming. All that pain and hobbling around gone. My new hip feels completely natural now and I’m able to do yoga, Pilates etc with no problem. I just avoid the few positions that could place extra strain on the new hip but I feel very fit and well. My other hip is a bit more painful and that will probably need to be replaced at some point but at least I know what to expect next time. Thanks to all who have offered advice and support on this site. It has been brilliant having such a great community to talk to.
All the best

Ann,
So good to hear a success story, and good news for everyone on the Yoga and Pilates.
I've been recovering again after my ceramic shattered ..... but progressing extremely fast. Back at the gym and walking miles just 10 weeks after the revision.
Best wishes
Graham

I agree, Ann. This site is brilliant for support and advice. I've seen a lot of posts that have given me a confidence boost which I feel I need even though I'm making a very good recovery. What a good group of Hippies! Thanks to all.

Like this news. I am an active 66 year old and 9 weeks post op tomorrow. I am hoping my hip will last me many years. The most I've come across is a neighbour who is 73 and had a new hip at 38 after an accident.
