Bye bye hip pain!

His Last was. . " this is it, helicopter door open, knees to the breeze Airborn"

Ha ha made me smile all along my hip journey I have kept reminding myself about the first time I did a free fall kept saying to myself if I can throw myself out of an aircraft at 12k feet this hip surgery will be a walk in the park ... so get those knees in the breeze you will soon be on solid ground

Excited Excited
Can't wait for you to have the yucky part behind you!
Hubs sounds great, obviously has a sense of humor.
Sleep, sleep, sleep and ice up I'll bet your recovery moves along quickly.
Post on the recovery side when you're feeling up to it, sweetie

lol....reminds me of my skydiving days!! If I jumped out of a perfectly fine plane, far be it to have an attachment to the hip that has caused me pain for the last 3 years...

 

[mcopt]

If I jumped out of a perfectly fine plane,

Exactly having a hip replacement is a far more sensible and level headed thing to do !

 

[SaraK]

There's absolutely no reason in the world to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! Given my fear of heights, I'd probably die of a heart attack before I shattered my hip and every other bone in my body landing. My father, on the other hand, was convinced by his adult brothers to "ride a tree down" when he was 10. Climbed the tree, they chopped it down and he had fun until he broke his arm when he hit the ground. His father was hopping mad and made his brothers pay the doctor bill!

@Mascaramom good vibes going out to you.
Don't leave your thread alone for too long as that @SaraK will hijack it she is already trying to change the subject to lumberjacks you have to keep a watch out for her doing that you know

The view is amazing at a height of 13000 feet...and quiet!!

 

[Walkinginthesand]

@Walkinginthesand YES!!!!!

I just looked at my scar in the mirror. Need to rethink that dolphin idea- it looks more like a killer whale breaching! Whoa!!!!

 

[Mascaramom]

Hahahahaha that's hysterical!!! We need to make sure that there's a talented tattoo artist on board our hippie cruise ship

 

[sequin98]

Let's make it a Carnival line! The food is better than many others!!

 

[Walkinginthesand]

I have my checkbook ready plus I can look up cruises to anywhere...just tell me to GO! Never cruised with Carnival. Took royal Caribbean to Caribbean (western) and Princess to Alaska just this summer- amazing trip!!!!!!

 

[Walkinginthesand]

Hahahahaha that's hysterical!!! We need to make sure that there's a talented tattoo artist on board our hippie cruise ship

If it is a “recovery” cruise for hipsters and knee people we could probably request a tattoo artist to travel with us. I have one tattoo now. It is a pansy on my ankle. It is from Shakespeare’s MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM. it is the flower of love used by Cupid to make people fall in love. My students were always SHOCKED Their teacher had a tattoo. Never be boring!!!!

 

[SaraK]

I'm in for any cruise! I've only done Royal Caribbean but willing to consider others. Hope they don't have metal detectors to get on cruise ships nowadays - if they do, they may want to start boarding a full shipload of hippies the day before!

 

[Walkinginthesand]

Oh they have metal detectors but I loved all the extra attention.

 

[SaraK]

Ok @Walkinginthesand - they'd better allow 2 extra days for boarding!

 

[Mascaramom]

Lol..I've only cruised Norwegian. .....
Just tell me where to show up.

 

[Mascaramom]

It's SATURDAY! And although I am limited in my abilities, I feel such relief. The weekends had become full of dread, instead of a welcome break from the week. Just the THOUGHT of disappointing the kiddos because I couldn't play, or take them to do any of the fun activities that the weekend should bring, Was almost as bad as the actual LOOK on their faces when I'd have to say no.

I'm tired, I'm sore, I'm well medicated, but instead of wishing for bedtime to hurry up, I making "staycation" plans for Spring Break. IM PLANNING ON ENJOYING it with everyone! Something I couldn't even imagine, only 3 weeks ago.

 

[MammaT]

Glad your Saturday is off to a good start. I keep looking for updates on the post op forum where they changed up your tile a bit.

Totally normal to feel sore and tired at this stage @Mascaramom. Enjoy planning for spring break, you should definitely be able to participate more.
