    THR My recovery thread.

    Dear Allena, Just had a quick read of your thread. Sorry that your recovery is a bit slower than you hoped. But as Layla and Mojo have stressed things can still improve for you. You have come so far and improved an enormous amount. I have said it before but i will say it again, you should be...

    THR Ginny's Recovery Thread (LTHR)

    Dear All, I am so sorry that i have not posted for a long time. I have been nursing my mum who lived in a different part of the UK to me. She died about a month ago and now i am a bit lost without her. Main thing is she is not suffering anymore so i am trying to cling on to that. Just to...

    THR Ginny's Recovery Thread (LTHR)

    Dear All, Sorry i have not been checking in, my mum remains ill and other family stuff keeping me busy. Just to say at just over 6 months since my op i find it hard to believe that i have actually had surgery. The left leg is a bit stiffer than it's un operated partner but apart from that no...

    THR Ginny's Recovery Thread (LTHR)

    Dear All, Just a brief check in/update due to family commitments. I am about 4.5 months now post op. What is so amazing is that thoughts of my hip do not dominate my life anymore. For so long everything was about managing the pain/mobility/tiredness and the emotional element of arthritis...

    THR Ginny's Recovery Thread (LTHR)

    Hi All, I am a bit of a drama Queen and i am doing better than i sound. I am beyond thrilled that i have had the op. My muscle is getting better, i realise that i am very lucky. Every day extra with my mum is a gift so lucky there too. Compared to most people i have nothing to moan about, but...

    THR Ginny's Recovery Thread (LTHR)

    Hi @Layla, Thank you for checking in on me, so kind and thoughtful (as usual). My mum, despite all the odds, is hanging in there. If anything she is a bit better! I think that you may be aware that i pulled a glute muscle when driving a couple of weeks ago. I have found it harder to recovery...

    Am I crazy.

    @Mylexigirl Part two of my unsolicited advice: You will know when you are ready for the surgery because the fear/consequences of not having surgery will out way the fear of the surgery and post op potential complications. This was such a relief for me when it happened as i just knew i could...

    Am I crazy.

    Hi @Mylexigirl Yes, as the lovely @Bionic said i was afraid of absolutely everything pre-op. I resisted having hip surgery for over 5 years. In the end i was basically left with no choice, have it or end up in a wheelchair. I would put serious money on the fact that i could have matched your...

    @Mojo333 Thank you for your lovely post and the link. I have just watched it and very useful/easy to understand. Thanks for being you! My main issue at the moment is that my sister (who has more than enough to do already) will have to take over looking after our mum. But such is life one...

    THR My recovery thread.

    Hi Allena, Just had a quick read of your thread and so pleased that you are doing so well. Go Girl! I am still very guilty of thinking that i must be totally pain free, run miles, have a clean house and Save the World before i am OK and can relax. However, now that i am pretty much fully...
