So it looks like I picked a good ski season to miss!

Love this!

You are doing well. I'm sure your new hip will be ready to ski next season.

Thanks for the uplifting post, Bruce. I'm happy for you that you're doing so well and your words will likely be encouraging to those following behind.
Have a great week!

At 23 weeks postop now, doing well. Back to normal activity and many days go by without thinking of my new hip! So grateful for a successful outcome and for the wonderful support given on this forum. Hoping everyone out there on this journey is doing well. Looking back, I’d say the first 3 weeks were the toughest for me. Admittedly, I was impatient which didn’t help the situation. It’s been gradual improvement along the way. It’s very easy to get discouraged going through this, especially early on. And that’s where connecting with people here is so helpful. Many thanks to all who’ve chimed in and encouraged me!!! You are greatly appreciated!!!

Wonderful news. That is the major milestone we all hope for when we start this journey. Sounds like you are well on your way to being ready for the upcoming ski season!

Hi Bruce,
Great news on the success you're enjoying so far. At not even six months post op it's going to get even better. We're thankful for your willingness to share your journey on the forum and your kind words are appreciated. I wish you the best and hope you'll continue to update us on your progress.
Have a nice day and weekend!

Yes @bruce1984 .
This is an amazing community of real people who have had the real surgery so we can usually address most issues that we’ve faced. We certainly are not doctors but no matter what the issue someone is facing one of us generally has a suggestion.
And I think that first month of recovery can be such a challenge so I get it.
Not being a very patient person myself I can certainly understand your perspective.
Stay well and on ward and upward!

Great news Bruce! Please continue to check in from time to time. Support to newbies or veterans here is always appreciated.
Most of us have had at least one hip replacement and even though each of our journeys is unique to us we still share many similarities.
Continued success on your journey!
