What a difference a year makes! Whoo Hoooo! Today is my one year anniversary/birthday for my two darling hips! I went in today for the one year follow-up xrays - haven't seen them but I don't anticipate there will be any problems - lol the xray tech said she wished all her xrays came out as pretty as mine ;) So .... not much is new - waiting on scheduling for the shoulder surgery, practicing being a "lefty", playing with the coonie girls, having a fine time doing ordinary things. No real big activities or adventures here (other than some adventures in home upgrades - getting insulation put into this old house and going to do a couple more projects after the first of the year. First though gotta call the "come get my junk" crew) - just loving life without hip pain! I am grateful every day for my surgeon, the excellent care I received from my HMO in and out of the hospital, for an incredibly problem-free recuperation, and for BoneSmart! I seriously doubt I would have done as well as I did without having found this wonderful community. So anyone contemplating hip replacement (unilateral or bilateral) - or recuperating from such surgery - keep your chin and spirits up - no matter what you are going through it can and will get better!
I found these two videos that say it all:
