Thanks! I just shared a post on Facebook celebrating the 1 year right hipiversary. My hips are doing great physically and I regularly walk a couple of km a day. Sleep is amazing (omg being able top lay in bed and not cry because of the pressure on my hips isn't there anymore), and I honestly think that the pain relief from the hip replacements has lengthened my life.
When trying to describe my pre-replacement feeling in my body vs post replacement I ended up saying before, 'For a before: Imagine a fork, but the metal that holds the tines to the handle is aluminum foil.' Now after' Imagine that same fork, but the aluminum foil was taken out and replaced with stronger elements, and now it feels and works like a fork should.'
I am continually in awe of just how much stronger and stable my body feels.
Also, the above bursitis cleared up once I quit physio.
Mental health ways though, things were not as rosy because I'm having a hard time adjusting to more mobility after having super limited mobility since I was born. It wasn't something I was expecting to have an issue with.
