Hello Constanze! Did you run the October marathon? I am amazed and impressed that you would even attempt such a feat. Covid-It seems like everyone we know has had covid , including my husband and I, but nobody was very sick because they are all vaccinated. We were late getting snow this...- Granny Di

I'm feeling very positive! The pain in my groin has gone away and I have been walking 2 kms daily. Yesterday I Increased my kms to 5 and although I was tired after walking in soft snow I had no pain and I have not taken any pain meds for a few days. So things are looking up. It is almost 6...- Granny Di

Good afternoon from the deep freeze of Northern Ontario. The osteopath thinks that it could be the psoas muscle that is causing the pain so I have a treatment of easy exercises and movements to strengthen that muscle. I hope he is right! I sure don't want to have a revision. Has anyone ever...- Granny Di

Nobody recommended the lift and I have removed it. I have not heard from my surgeon and there is a lot of covid in the area so the hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. I had an xray on January 12 and it has not been posted on the pocket health site yet. I was unable to lift my leg on the...- Granny Di

Extremely cold minus 41 C today so I have no desire to get out walking in the deep snow. I had an x-ray on the 12th so must wait for the report and then an online meeting with my surgeon who lives three hours away. I have decided to do the strengthening exercises every other day as I had too...- Granny Di

OOPS! Pressed and bingo! You will love watching the kids grow and develop. I have been able to bike and ski with my Grandkids -even this summer we did a few 15 kms together.

"I have 2 grandkids." Congratulations Constanze! Grandkids are so much fun- more so when they are young. My 5 are teens now and not as happy to hang out with the old folks. I cant remember how to reply to posts so hope you see this.- Granny Di

THR Nerve Damage with Anterior Approach
Hello! I am having the anterior approach on Monday, Nov.8 and will be able to compare the two approaches as I had the posterior approach in 2015. Hopefully all will go well and recovery will be better and faster. There are no guarantees in this business. Best of luck to all!- Granny Di

Hi Constanze, I would not like to work from home as I would miss the people for sure. I have a group of women to walk and ski with, and with the pandemic and a very sore hip I was unable to meet them in person although we had some contact online and on phone. I really miss the gab fest and the...- Granny Di

Hello Constanze! I never expected to hear from you as I thought you would be healthy and busy enjoying life. So glad to hear that you are back to running and cycling. It was a three month wait for an MRI mainly because of covid and covid has set back all hospital elective surgeries. Such a...- Granny Di

Hello! I haven't been here for years! Just working on getting another hip op. First one was in 2015 and I was fine until this summer and it is getting worse. I can only walk for about 15 minutes and then I have to sit down. The good news is that I had several good years. Cross country skiing...- Granny Di
