Yayyyyyyyy, well done Kate & how are you overall? I can honestly say I have 75% forgotten I've had it done! X

Not doing too bad thanks, probably , like you 75% better. I still have soreness when I sit down and I don't know if it's my imagination , but I think I feel the new hip!! I still take sleeping tablets or I just wouldnt be able to sleep. The swimming has helped and finally seeing physio last week for the first time has been really reassuring.
i stripped the Victoria plum tree in sour garden yesterday and made 5k of plum jam.
i hope to go back to work at the end September, phased return , I couldn't imagine doing 7.30am - 6pm straight off at the moment!
Take care my dear, xx

I'm OK now, it was the first week after surgery that was the worst!

Got rid of mine last week (week 6) on surgeons say so and blimey it was a shock at first. Those first few times I almost went flying, you don't realise how low down a standard loo is !!
Also I couldn't believe how dirty it was underneath, I tended to pee to the side though as didn't like sitting on my wound to start with - sorry if TMI

Lol Sarah! 🤓 I've always wondered how that was going to be. Especially in public. If you can use a handicap stall. The others are sooo low! Take care! God's blessings! 🤗🤗, LD

I was a clean freak with mine! I'd take it off twice a week a clean with antibac & bleach! Now I've not been using it for a few days, my thighs feel like I've done 1,000 squats!
