It's been a long road to recovery. I'm absolutely worn out from it all.

I'm 68 and before the op - although I was in intermittent pain and had difficulty walking-my general health was good but this has knocked my health for six. I'm alright in the mornings but I'm wiped out by mid afternoon lim trying hard with physio but it's like I've lost my zest for life - some days I wish I had never had it done.

I'm just praying for the day I'll be back to my normal self!

    Hi Mary, Yes I'm sure you are right.Saw the consultant yesterday, told me there is no muscle there, and will take months just keep excersizing, and the best thing is getting in a pool and walking.I have a pool near by but need help to get there and in the pool.People do not think of this,as I have nobody I can call on.Never mind Pam
