    THR Nutcase's recovery journey

    Hi all hippies :) Thought I would post a post-6-month update. I don't have real issues, can do anything I want and seldom experiencing any pain. The only thing I'm somewhat concerned about is a persisting swelling, very localized in size and place. Right after my OP I got a hematoma in the...

    THR Nutcase's recovery journey

    So, 5 months yesterday :mooncat: Healing continues, although slowly. Still some swelling, still some stiffness, still some pain in groin and outside hip at certain movements and still some redness in a small part of my scar, other than that, very little to complain about. Gait is finally...

    THR Pain when I sit for a longer time..

    The fiery feeling when lying on the OP side you describe is exactly the feeling I had, like having a small bonfire inside my thigh. For me, it slowly subsides with time. When sitting in a regular chair my groin starts to hurt. It's much better now a days, but sitting for a longer time, like at a...

    THR Pain when I sit for a longer time..

    I'm so sorry to hear about your vacation accident. Can only imagine the horror you must have felt. My operation was planned, but I still felt 'robbed' of a part of my own body, and truthfully, still does sometimes. I'm nearly 5 month out of surgery and have my scar right on the outside of my...

    THR Nini's Right THR Recovery -- January 2024

    Happy anniversary :) Indeed, growing muscles takes way much longer time than I could remember. I’ve been going to the gym (training, mindfully, as I please as per clearance from my PT) for maybe 3 weeks now and darn I’m weak :heehee: All the muscles work but they have NOT figured out what has...

    THR Nini's Right THR Recovery -- January 2024

    I feel like such a jerk, not having read your recovery story until now. I'm so sorry to read that you are still experiencing pain but in my case it slowly got better with gentle exercise. Fingers crossed it will do the same for you. The stronger you are before your next surgery the better the...

    THR Nutcase's recovery journey

    @Nini Well I try my best to stay positive :) It’s a slow process but, so far, steadily progressing. No, actually no pain in weak muscles, only fatigue. Come to think of it I actually have one movement causing some pain, but it never lingers. It’s when I ‘un-bend’ my hip after having bent it for...

    THR Nutcase's recovery journey

    15 weeks have passed and time for an update. The swelling, the swelling, the swelling. Pretty much pain free now. The only thing is a dull pain/ache in my groin every now and then. I can't see any pattern since it occurs almost randomly. I have felt i bicycling, laying flat in my bed and...

    Oh my, @myglasshalffull ! I am so glad to hear that you bring your phone now a days, otherwise I have to worry about you :) It’s true that our smart devices knows more about us than we do ourselves. I also have a smart watch, so I don’t even have to bring my phone. Plus, my smart bike...

    Haha... I think we deserve point for intention at least @Nini :heehee: When it comes to walking I think I walk, maybe not much, but still some and it varies a lot. I don't go for 'walks' every day, but most of them and even when don't go for intentional walks I end up around 4-5000 steps or...

    THR Nutcase's recovery journey

    Thank you everyone :loveshwr: Things are probably going better and better, even if it's hard to notice it on a daily basis. If it wasn't for the swelling... However I will stop going on about the swelling and embrace the saying of Astrid Lindgren, Swedish author of, among other, Pippi...

    Nothing unusual in the world of healing hips and muscles, then :). I like your approach @Nini focusing on the good things. Our focus is actually something we can control, at lest to some degree. I liked the faucet metaphor too. Can't wait until the plumber arrives :martini:

    Sooo.... where can I buy patience :heehee: You are all so brilliant, taking your time to re-iterate the mantra of 'all will be OK with time' :loveshwr: One would think I might have learned that by now, but every new dip still makes me wonder even though it bothers me less and less... Thank you :)
