    One year ago yesterday (12/21/12) was my one year anniversary of having my life back with my new hip. I celebrated (among other ways) by dancing the twist at my dear friend's wedding, and walking in 3" heels (gracefully I might add) through the Boston Common, and past the Frog Pond (a skating...

    Need some input. Not sure if this is something with my hip or not. ABout 10 days ago I went to bed totally fine and woke up in the middle of the night (thanks to my roomie making noise) with low back pain, feeling like my back was going out if I moved. was able to go back to sleep, and woke up...

    Thx jaycee. What if anything did u do? Any specific exercises to make the muscles stronger? They've been doing well. When I started back to work in March, I could climb stairs, but not with my suitcase. Now I can do stairs, suitcase in.hand, which weighs about 25+ lbs. Still a bit of an effort...

    It's been awhile since I've been on, back in the groove of work, etc. Things have been going pretty smoothly til this past weekend. After I finished this last trip ( if u recall I work as a flight attendant) and now when I walk at a normal pace, I feel a pop in the hip/ thigh area. It's not...

    Am very much in a why bother state of mind. Hips are really tight this morning. Quivering legs from being on my feet for most of an almost 4 hour flight. I am back at work with a healthy hip, working a lot to pay the bills and this month I have lost my phone, had to work with the person no one...

    Thx dede62. This was a better week physically as I was able to kick up my elliptical workout a bit on the road without any negatives. Also saw the first 2 lbs come off so that felt good. I consider it a positive milestone when I can do things me bad hip wouldn't let me do, like walk all over...

    It will be 3 months next week, 21 March that I got my new hip. It seems like so long ago, yet 3 months isn't that long. Got a shock I didn't want when I stepped on the scale at the hotel gym to find (if the scale is accurate) that I've gained 15+ lbs. since the surgery. I keep thinking that...

    Thx HH. I am with Sprint and was told by the person when I activated my new phone (at least I had insurance on the old one!) that it wasn't possible, but maybe there is another way. I hope. Yes, I work as a flight attendant, so traveling is my professional life. It was very nice being...

    So I made it through the first week back at work. Stamina obviously wasn't back, but, that will come. The mental sharpness will come back too. So out of whack, forgetting stuff that I know by heart. Really not there mentally. And, to start things off with a bang, i forgot my watch at home and...

    So tomorrow it is back to work after 2 1/2 months off *sigh*. If I have any energy this time tomorrow, I'll let you know how it went. Tomorrow it will be a 4:30 am wake up call, on the train at 7 am, and 2 flights to get to work, and 20 hours of being awake... I so don't miss this. I just keep...

    Thanks all. Been doing well...til today. At least it's not my hip. Getting out of the car, stepped in a pile of snow, that was deeper than I realized and totally sprained my left ankle. No swelling but a fair amount of pain. Back on crutches....temporarily at least. Nothing happened to my hip...

    I wish I could take it easy but it will be 6 day work weeks for the next couple months to start to catch up on bills. Everything medical has to be paid off in six months (about $2000), and somehow in there I am "supposed" to rest and maybe have some fun. Unlike those who have a spouse/SO for...

    Officially 2 months today. Time so flies. I go back to work 3 March and I am so not looking forward to it. At least my first trip isn't that difficult, but just the stamina required for standing on my feet, pulling my rollerboard through airports, pulling a cart through 15" wide aisles, and not...

    Really tired today. New pain along ITB on both hips and behind the right knee. Hoping this is just part of the process, the "kinks" working themselves out. Hard finding places to walk safely as there is still a ton of snow everywhere and some of the shoveled places have some ice. I go back to...
