    Thank you Charlie, and just read your excellent first post. As to my positivity, overall yes, although on occasion a read of my mind at 2am would depress even Candide!

    THR Almost Four Years After Hip Replacement: I Stopped Pushing So Hard, and Everything Changed

    @Charlie33 An excellent post Charlie, and as a fellow overdriven type, I find a lot to relate with in your post. Sometimes, yes, and hard to believe, less is sometimes more! Good luck on your reset of approach, and long may your journey be joyful!

    @myglasshalffull Glad you are enjoying the season’s glories MGHF. It seems we here in the UK are in for something of an Indian Summer over the next week or so - long may it continue! Great to hear from you and enjoy your walks!

    As Oscar Wilde once quipped: “And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” That sounds to be earmarked for the weekend here, with max temps tumbling to low teens :nah:

    Hi @Layla Yes, 5 months indeed, and great to have had the summer to recover. Still hanging on to wearing shorts for my hikes, and haven't worn long trousers since like March, but if Florida sends one of its hurricane remnants over to us, game over! Things are still going well with my exercise...

    @myglasshalffull Great to hear that you had a good trip MGHF. And that your son is going against the trend and moving FROM Texas to California! As to the walking etc, having your little dog around I'm sure is a great motivator for walking. And you stay well too - the clocks will be turning...

    @myglasshalffull Hi MGHF, Great to hear from you, and hope you had a wonderful trip. And yes, I enjoy the autumn too, but for me it also always brings with it a sense of sadness, of an ending, and a tendency towards melancholic memento mori - such is life! And yes, my current regime is...

    @Layla Hi Layla Yes, the last few weeks have gone well - both hips continuing to improve, even the left hip after its more complex revision, now nearly 11 months post op. My daily pattern at the moment is say 1.75 hours of indoor cycling, or a 7 mile hilly walk, paired with an hour of...

    @Legseleven Thank you very much L11, and yes, the meditation is key for me - this post surgery stuff is pretty taxing mentally as well. I have been following your progress on the QT, and glad to see that you are getting over the worst of the post op hump - great when we have those little...

    @myglasshalffull Glad you had a nice break on all counts at the races MGHF, including the walking - hope you didn't feel tempted to break into a canter with the horses :running:

    @myglasshalffull Great to hear from you MGHF. My little missives are a good opportunity for me to sit down and sort of review what I have been doing, gain perspective as it were, but also, I hope of some use to others, with the proviso of course that we and our recoveries are all different in...

    THR Balancing Exercise & Hip Health Prior to Revision Surgery

    @Layla Yes, a quarter of a year gone, although it seems much longer somehow, but in a good way. Both hips continue to progress well, with little breakthroughs still appearing, and not always the spectacular gotcha ones. A prime recent example is that I can now put on cycling bib shorts with...

    @Legseleven You are welcome L11. It is a hackneyed old phrase, but still so true - one day at a time!
