    THR Dances With Walker

    Thank you for making me feel welcome and special thanks to whichever one of you suggested that I mount Johnny Walker’s wheels on the inside of his frame. He’s behaving himself now. :angel:Oooh, I am such a newbie... have no idea of I’m replying to one or all of you. While I try to figure it all...

    THR Dances With Walker

    Johnny Walker has wheels in the front but my house is small and they get stuck 20 times a day. I don’t want to train him. I want to bootkick him off the end of a short wharf. I can’t wait to return to my two canes, Michael and Nova. They’re much better behaved :)

    THR Hipster64's Recovery Thread

    Thanks for sharing, @Hipster64. I’m in my 4th day since surgery now and feeling a little less optimistic. Everything is harder than I thought it would be. To hear that you got out and about after a week gives me some much-needed hope. Right now, I’d be happy if I could just get into bed without...

    Not sure I’m using this forum correctly. I answered within a reply to my own initial post and tagged you. Does that work @Layla? Maybe I should I reply separately to each person?

    Thanks! I’m not brave though, I’m just terrified of anaesthetic. The old “what if I don’t wake up” starts playing in my head and I can’t find the off switch. It’s silly I know but I’m no hero. Far from it.

    That must be awful for you. Being awake might really help in your case. I don’t know what sedative he gave me, but I’ve had no side effects. I just felt calmer and a bit “floaty”. Lots of my anxiety comes from being unable to communicate but I could make sense of everything. And anaesthesia...

    Ohhhhh. Just nope! I liked hearing the play-by-play but actually seeing it might have been too much! (Not enough exclamation marks there.)

    Thanks so much for all the info. It helps me to step outside the pain and see the big picture. Healing is going to take awhile and patience is not one of my virtues : )

    Hi @enoughpain. Your username says it all — I agree, enough pain! But be happy, because the pain I have after the surgery is completely different and ... I dunno ... sturdier? That deep sharp ache is gone and the nerves aren’t catching between bone-on-bone. I keep being afraid to put my weight...

    THR Dances With Walker

    :ice:Finally! I have a new hip. July 19, 2019 was the day I began recovery and started to argue with “Johnnie Walker”. He’s obstinate, clumsy, insubordinate, and generally a royal pain in the you know what, but if he can help me regain some of what I’ve lost, I’ll put up with him. I’m two days...
