    10 months and counting--and a 10K!

    Hi, Everyone! It’s been a while!! I had to stop by and update everyone on my recovery. My one year LTHR – anterior anniversary is coming up at the end of August. I have had a great year—the first one in my life in which I can walk without pain! My recovery was not the speediest – I had femur...

    THR Will I ever get off the pain meds - so depressed

    Oh, Jaycey, my heart goes out to you! You have touched so many people, me included--and have been an inspiration to each and every one of us. Knowing you are suffering so much just makes me want to cry. As you know, everyone recovers differently-and, as hipalong (Jenny) pointed out, if you have...

    In pain, confusion and uncertainty after 4 months

    Hi, Jim-I stopped by to check and see whether you'd gotten any help...I'm sorry to hear you'll be going thru more surgery, but I am happy to hear you finally have found someone who will help you. I'm praying for you. I hope the days between now and then are happy and that your pain levels are...

    6 Week Check-up

    Hi, Jody - Your surgery was about a week after mine--glad to hear you are doing so wonderfully in your recovery! After reading your post, I wanted to write and let you know I'll be praying for you. I had thyroid cancer when I was 24, so I am a 31+ year cancer survivor. They did a biopsy...

    Yoohooooo.... All the restrictions are gone :)

    Oh, sma, I am SO happy for you! Nothing can stand in your way now (no pun intended!) The glucosomin chondrotin was what kept me & my bad hip going for years-despite any study that says it's worthless. I agree with nanamac; give it a try. If you don't think it's helping after taking a...

    Paying the price for too much too late (in the day)

    Thanks, Jamie & Thomasinaa (Sylvia), for your input. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Jamie, I appreciate your gentle reminders—I mean that, seriously. I know I tend to overdo things; I always am pushing myself for that little...

    Paying the price for too much too late (in the day)

    I’ve been keeping in touch with work throughout my recuperation. During our chat last week, my boss invited me to an after-work department get-together. I thought it would be great to attend for several reasons—including the fact that I could gauge how I felt after driving there and back (my...

    In pain, confusion and uncertainty after 4 months

    After reading the most recent posts, I have to jump in again and say, WOW! I'm an only child, too! I did not have a spoiled childhood either; I grew up quite independent and, as Jamie explained, content with being alone for periods of time. I think those qualities have helped me throughout...

    Re-learning to bend-exercises, techniques?

    RollsRoyce (Valerie)- I know exactly what you mean about the socks. I have found very creative ways to put on shoes by myself, but socks are the biggie. I just started stretching and bending past 90 degrees, so it will probably be a while before I get there. That's frustrating for me, because...

    OK, Thanks, Jamie! I will do those and work into the movements. Very good advice.

    Re-learning to bend-exercises, techniques?

    Today is my 6 week anniversary for my new hip. Yesterday, I reached several milestones...foot over foot stair climbing (3 flights, at least 15 stairs each--not all at once, of course!), driving my stick-shift car home from church, and using the Wii Fit for the first time since surgery! All...

    work

    Julie-I know exactly what you mean. I drive an hour each way to/from work and my ortho is very concerned about the drive, let alone the work. I've been doing some short drives (10-15 minutes at a crack) for about a week with light errands and, though tired, not exhausted. Yesterday, I drove...
