    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    Thank you both so much for answering my questions @Jaycey and @Josephine. It is much appreciated. I was texting my daughter later on that evening and she thought the cause was most likely viral as well. Both my daughter and my grandson are on the road to recovery although she told me it usually...

    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    I know I have not been on this forum for quite some time but I have a question. I know it is often advised to have antibiotics before any dental work such as having a tooth capped but what about other bacterial infections through illness. A few days ago I visited my daughter to help mind her...

    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    OK. Thanks @Josephine and @Mojo333. I just thought that since I had a revision THR it would show up under my name. I still don't think I navigate this forum in the correct way. Thank you so much @Krista. Glad you are doing so well too. We can both see the light at the end of the tunnel on our...

    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    I had been given a referral to have new x-rays taken before seeing my OS and I had them done locally instead of at the hospital where I had my surgery done. Therefore my OS could not access them on his computer because the local x-ray place is not connected to the hospital as is the x-ray place...

    @Josephine , or @Jaycey, shouldn't the title under my Grannyhippy name now be "Revision THR" instead of "Thread Starter?"

    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    It has been almost six and a half months since my complex revision hip replacement and I visited my orthopaedic surgeon last Tuesday for a checkup. I was supposed to see him in December but his secretary phoned and brought the appointment forward. He is very pleased with my progress so far and...

    Revision THR Krista's Gluteus Medius Repair 1 Year post THR

    Lovely photos. Walking 6.8 miles a day on your holiday is quite an achievement, especially after all your surgeries. I am glad you are doing so well with your recovery and are slowly returning to a fairly normal life. It must feel great and I hope things continue to improve. I am sure all the...

    THR Grannyhippy's Recovery Thread

    I finished my physiotherapy sessions yesterday and feeling quite exhausted today. Thanks to the wonderful team at the rehabilitation hospital I had been attending as an outpatient I feel I have come a long way with my recovery after my complex revision hip replacement. I still have some...

    Revision THR Hip Radiolucent Lines - Help I have an op booked for Monday!

    Good luck tomorrow. I am recovering from a complex revision surgery because the first one was unsuccessful. I changed surgeons and he put in a much longer stem. I feel as though the hip is a lot more stable than the first time around even though I still have a lot of work to do to build up the...

    THR It and quad pain 15 weeks post op<

    I spoke too soon about my physiotherapist not using weights on my legs. Yesterday for the first time at the end of the session she put very light weights around my ankles and I had to do some of the standing exercises such as abduction, pushing a straight leg out to the back, bending the knee...
