THR Hippie Chick’s Recovery Journey
I will be following you and sending healing vibes! Bonesmart is so right re it’s comments and the washing dressing driving and everything it takes before you actually get to the workplace. It is exhausting! Being 5 years older and more sensible this time I have really paced myself and benefited...- SurreyGirl

THR Trick or treat?
That sounds like a great recovery so far. You are listening to your body and not overdoing it. You have the pain under control. You get the magic of ice. And you are working out ingenious ways of getting into bed . Above all you have worked ou how to sleep…. Brilliant!- SurreyGirl

THR Hippie Chick’s Recovery Journey
I’ve just been through this. It was hard but rewarding at the same time. For the first two weeks - apart from taking my delegates to dinner I would come home, put my feet up for two hours and also ice the hip…. It all helped me relax. Last week and this I have got back to some social events on...- SurreyGirl

@Hippie Chick i still have my disabled spot so am trying to hang onto this to avoid twisting as much as possible. I know full well from my last op how overdoing it and twisting set me back. I’m still taking paracetemol when I need it but no longer on a regular basis so all good.- SurreyGirl

I am having a bit more therapy in two weeks time but will try and do some pool stuff on my own. One of the best exercises is going from sitting to standing from my fairly low bed. I was at a restaurant this lunchtime and the owner commented how easily I got up from my admittedly fairly high...- SurreyGirl

Thanks both. I refused cups of tea before the session but happily sat in the lounge afterwards with a pot of tea and a biscuit chatting to the Carers and also one chap whom I had met in August who was back supporting his friend. That break gave me the pause I needed before getting in the car...- SurreyGirl

I had my first ever physio in a pool today. Went back to the “Hotel for Hippies” and everyone was v friendly. I left my stick in my car! Various carers stopped by to say hello whilst I was sitting in the lounge waiting for the session. Matron came to see me too to ask how my scar was getting...- SurreyGirl
