10 weeks

Hiya Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the nice weather we are having especially in the UK. I told my hubby after my operation i would like a new bicycle and i got one last week. I have done a few short rides and a couple of 10 mile bike rides so far, as i am not over doing it. I am only taking painkillers when and if i need them now, but my Doctor told me still to take naproxen twice a day. All in all i am doing well as i don t use any walking aids at all now. So i am happy and i don t need to see my consultant for 8 months. Goodluck to everyone on getting mobile and no pain.:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

aqua zumba

Hiya Everyone, I have just found out our local hotel Leisure centre does Aqua Zumba, I think i may have a try at it this week.I will just pay for 1 session just to see how it goes. Has anyone tried this exercise.:dancy::dancy::dancy:
 
Re: aqua zumba

Hi Landlady

haven't heard of AZ but am trying to find someone who does Zumba Gold in my area as its a gentle form of the original Zumba

I think Wii Fit now do a Zumba programme so I might have a look at that & see if it includes Z/Gold

Let us know how you get on with the AZ :loll:
 
Re: aqua zumba

Sharonann, if you go here and type in your location and which type of class you want, they will give you a list of the classes in your area. If you aren't sure what all those class options are (because I certainly wasn't :what:) there are descriptions of them at the bottom of this page.

Good luck!
 
Re: aqua zumba

Hi Alex, thanks for the info - have found 3 instructors who do Zumba Gold within 1/2 drive of home so am now waiting to hear back from them with details.
 
16 Weeks Post op

Hiya Everyone, I have nt been on for a few weeks as my laptop has been poorly. I just thought i would give an update of my progress. I decided after my revision surgery that r i would try and get fit, I bought a new bicycle and have been riding that a lot, I have also been swimming once a week and even tried aqua zumba but that was hard work. The only problem i have with my hip is when i get in the car sometimes without thinking the scar area hurts a bit so i had better take more care.I still get 1 or 2 aches and pains on my hip but nothing like before.Well thats all my moanining done, so now for the good stuff I have booked a 5 week cruise for January 2012 so i must get in shape. Linda
 
Re: 16 Weeks Post op

Linda, great recovery! You are 1 week ahead of me and doing great. I am happy you booked a cruise. i want to try aqua zumba in January.

Hello

Hiya Everyone, I have not been able to post recently as my computer did nt like my coffee being spilt on it. So hopefully I will not have anymore problems now its had a clean out. My revision surgery in May this year has been a bit of a disappointment as I still have pain and get stiff after being sat down for to long,I expected being completely pain free, But its not as bad as before the revision. I do not have to go back to Wrightington Hospital till May next year for a check up and I will have to have blood tests to see if the cobalt and chromium have gone down because they were very high before the revision. anyway bye for now Linda
 
Re: Hello

Hi Linda good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear that the revision isn't all you expected, hopefully it will get better in time. How's the cycling?

Re: Hello

Hi Linda, good to see you back. Six months is about half way to full healing so please be patient. It really does take a good full year to see the final results. Hang in there, you are still on the mend!

I bet you are much better by your one year anniversary. Good luck.
 
Re: Hello

Hi Linda, nice to hear from you again. We have to tell ourselves that we are probably only half way done with the recovery. I also expected more and faster results. Let's be patient and compare notes next year in May.
 
Re: Hello

Hi Linda

Sorry to hear your revision hasnt been as sucessful as you would have liked,have you thought about trying to get an earlier appointment to have a chat at wrightington?
Im doing really well no pain but have been suffering a bit with swelling in my ankle at work -i havent been on here for ages just going to post to see what josephine and the others think.
Keep me updated with your progress -take care of yourself
 
Checkup

Hiya Everyone, I have nt been in here for a while so I hope everyones doing ok. I have received an appointment for a checkup next month so it will be 11 months since my revision surgery. I am hoping to get results from the metal hip i had removed as they sent it to the London Implant retrieval Centre for examination. I will also have blood tests to see if the cobalt and chromium levels has gone down at all. I am doing great at the moment I going to the gym most days and swimming a lot, Some people have been told not to do breast stroke but i asked my surgeon last year and was told its ok. Anyway thats all from me.Take care:yay::yay::yay:
