    So exactly 2 weeks to the day was my surgery and everything seems to be going very well, even took a few full weight steps (still had my crutches in my hands) but yeah the last few days I can really feel the muscle strength slowly coming back.

    Days 7,8 and 9 done, must admit it’s getting so much easier now, there’s been a vast decrease in the swelling over the last three days, so a lot less pain. Still keeping up with all the exercises, and doing a lot of walking, still keep testing the waters by putting less weight on my crutches...

    End of day 4, same as yesterday again really a little less pain, not done a lot just my exercises and kept moving, elevating and icing, still can’t quite believe how easy it is to get around considering, you half expect to be bed ridden for a week when you first hear about having THRs @Timo50...

    @Lyla yeah we don’t get to choose our surgeon here either, if I went private then yeah maybe, but as it’s on the nhs no I do not however I was offered to come to a private hospital on the nhs as the waiting list was shorter and it turns out it’s a centre that a lot of athletes around the country...

    Well end of day two I believe, swelling and bruising has increased as has the pain but knowing I’m on the mend keeps me going, taking it very easy. Here in the uk, or at least for my surgeon they have given me very small stretches to do to keep me loose and limber or at least as much as I can be...

    Thank you all again for the kind words, just made it home, my partner turned up at the hospital with a new chair in the back of the car as our sofas are too low to the ground so that was a nice surprise. I won’t lie even though she took it easy the car journey was pretty bad, had to hold my leg...

    Well after they brought my surgery forward at short notice here I am the morning after, came out around 7pm, and spent the night doing the bathroom dance, didn’t need a catheter in the end.
