Roll on 2021 @Mojo333 xxx I’m so glad you feel amazing now , that’s inspiring.
I spoke with my surgeon yesterday and he has decided that we don’t go ahead with the other THR.
He said it’s best to wait until I have been infection free for one year. It makes total sense. Better to be safe than...
Hello again, hope you are all well.
I have surgery booked for the 18th January for my right hip replacement.
I feel way to young to be having the other hip done......but I’m sure I will feel so much younger once fully recovered and pain free. Ha ha.
I had 2 stage revision last year on my left...
Thank you @newlybionic, @Creampuff, @Mojo333 and @Layla,
All is going really well ...... I’m just about off my one crutch/walking stick. It’s been slow and steady and I feel the strength building day by day.
I did have a little infection or something that came and went, but it resolved on its...
Thinking of you Nancy and sending lots of healing vibes your way.
Post op is definitely a traumatic experience if you are already a sensitive soul, or find yourself feeling vulnerable and sensitive.
I found I coped better taking it just one day at a time... and sometimes just one breathe at a...
Thanks girls @Layla @Mojo333
It’s been going really well. I’m down to one crutch and building my strength up. It feels great to be able to do things around the house and get out for walks.
The only thing is at the moment half of my incision site is feeling really hot, tender and looking red...
Thank you everyone for your love and support
It’s been a week since surgery and I am now at home recovering ✨✨✨.
I’m very happy to report the surgery went really well. The spacer came out easily and there were no traces of infection. I did loose a bit of blood during the surgery which they...
@Westy
Ohh yes I have that same fear......ahhhhhh. Perfectly normal.
I’m going to hold a vision of good health and recovery for you, seeing you running around and playing with your new puppy. Sounds exciting indeed ✨✨✨✨
Sending lots of healing vibes for your surgery.
All the best @CobyBlack for finding a good surgeon.
That must have been a shock indeed. I would have had the same reaction.
It is interesting though, as I have read through this forum a few people keeping there spacers as a definitive solution.
It’s not something I could live with though and are...
Hi @Layla ✨✨
Thanks for your messages, I really appreciate it .
Yes I’m so happy to be at the 4 month mark ✨✨✨.
It certainly has been challenging since my last post in April. Unfortunately my mum become sick with a rare fungal infection, so I travelled to another state here in Australia to...
Hi @acgolden9,
Wow, I’m so sorry to read you have endured so much with your hip infections. It’s just heart breaking.
I’m 2 months post op with first stage of the 2 stage revision and just can’t imagine how I would cope if it were to reoccur. Wishing you all the best.
Hope you are doing well x
Hi again @Layla,
Everything is going pretty well thank you.
I’m still on crutches, but are now weight bearing which makes life easier.
I finished the 6 week course of IV 8000 mg a day of flucloxacillian and are now on a 6 week course of oral anti biotic staphylex (flucloxacillian) 4000mg a...
