    THR Second replacement completed and home now

    Re: Second replacemant completed and home now Dave, It sounds like you are doing very well. As most of us have floundered on "Over Doing It", Patience turns out to be a major lesson through all this. You are getting some good tips on carrying stuff with crutches. I cycle some so I put a handle...

    Number 5 has failed

    Hi, Mo, You're not whining. You are processing. And you deserve to do that as much or more than anyone one here. I had only a year of waiting for things to be resolved with a revision. I can't imagine what all you have been through-what all you have experienced. We all want to be aware of you...

    Appreciative Near a Year After Revision

    Well, thanks Jamie. You know, as good as things are there is always something to contend with or process in this-there is always an open file on recovery even when you haven't looked into it for awhile. For instance, I was talking to another counselor the other day, a retired FBI investigator...

    Jacey, You're right. Things do pick up when 1) you're not hurting and 2) you can move beyond base camp without assitance. -problem is, about 38.4 % of that "business" is uninteresting, have-to stuff that before-while I was in the recliner- I could put off "until the cows come home" even though...

    Revision THR Nanamac's story - Part 2

    Re: This is my story Janet, I am sure you will be remembered for far more, obsuring the fact that you were in a recliner, but I understand that you want to open the envelop, the front door and the byways to better functioning. and than never leaving your recliner. And I don't think you are...

    Some more questions!!

    Yes, I would give your surgeon all the data and let him decide. I sure hate to see you struggling with plans at this stage of the game. Is there a plan "B" or "C"-can you stay at your residence and call in support troops? Jim.

    One down, one to go...

    Wow! Sounds like you're doing great at the start of your biathlon! Can't believe you are stacking the events up like that, but I would have done as much as I could had I needed new hips at 50. Get lots of rest and pace your self, Bearen. Best wishes for you, Jim :thumb:

    Post-op day 3....

    Idaho Mom, I am very impressed with your recovery so far, but want to encourage you to take all the relief you can get at this stage. I came home from a revision last November not having to take anything, but I'm a believer in taking comfort through this process. I worried about leg descepancy...

    Great! It's nice to see flexibility and ingeguity in action. Did you use walking poles, or did you trust your balance to those snowshoes? Jim

    Oh, Josephine!! How good to hear from you! Good, God, how did I miss you? :DOH: I guess I took the "Nancyo" for our Nancy Reagan and missed you altogether. You just have to go for top billing next time. I am doing pretty well. I owe so much to you for your support during my trying time. I'm...

    Hi, Jamie! You're still in Kansas anymore! (that didn't come out right, did it?) Yeah, I'd like to be of some help to members although I took everything technical, biological, physiological, orhopedicological?? for "non-technical majors" in college. But I may have a little more time for my...

    Alex, Gee, at first I thought you wrote Pirates, not Pilates. That's the problem...well, one of many with us old hard of hearing, hard of seeing and free associating old guys. I couldn't see the benifits of plank walking. Yeah, I'll have to look into that-don't know anything about it-except from...

    Hi, Lady! Yeah, actually tight is probably better than lose. In fact, in my case the initial LTHR turned out to be too lose. The screws were found lose with the revision, causing fluid release, scar tissue and a source for constan tirritation and pain. I guess it's like going to sea-it's better...

    danni, I am so glad you are doing well. You raise a relevant point. Though my revised hip is "tight" it's still far better than the original was in the last stages of fending surgery off (about 3 years, in my case). Here's a funny thing. I just got back from a bike trip in Missouri and it was...
