It's been a while, but, I was thinking about this community and the people on it that really helped me during my pre-op and post-op time. I decided I would stop in and give a 2 1/2 year update.
Since my retirement I moved to Florida. I always told my family that when I retired I was moving to Florida and as of August 6TH last year I am here. Besides that much has changed in my life. I lost 80 pounds since my hip replacement. I am almost at my goal and should hit it before the end of the year. My foot drop is better, but, not fully working. It doesn't stop me from doing anything. Just enough of the foot came back to life that I don't have to wear the brace any longer. My muscles, which atrophied wearing the brace, are coming back and if I walk or jog to long the muscles start to ache.
Having hip replacement surgery was a life changing event. Before surgery all I looked forward to was finding a comfortable position so the pain was manageable. Now there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do.
I would like to thank everyone on this community for the support you gave me before and after surgery. You made things much easier for me. I probably would not have had surgery if not for you.
