So that’s 4 weeks now since my surgery, the incision has healed up nicely seems all fully sealed haha, can get around without crutches fairly easily now don’t use them around the house anymore but I still take them to bed or take them whenever I go out, my walking has improved a lot and believe my gait is somewhat getting back to normal, doesn’t help I get the odd weakness from my other hip and I’m not exactly the smallest of people, but hey ho.
Got my 6 week follow up appointment letter the other day, it’s booked in at 10 weeks as the surgeon is on holiday so I’m not sure what I’m going to do regarding work etc as I only have enough sickness/holiday to cover around 9 weeks, phoned up and tried to get it earlier but can’t. A bit devastated with that really as with how things have been going I was hoping restrictions lifted at 6 then spending a couple of weeks getting prepared to go back to work and normal life, hopefully I can figure something out with work where I can go back and still be on restrictions but I don’t know how insurance etc will figure into it.
Other than that everything’s positive really, sleeping is a lot better, I even woke up one morning having slept on the operated side for about 30 mins (I had fallen back to sleep) and I know you’re not supposed to be, I was glad not to feel much pain from it so even though I’ll be trying not to do it again it’s a very good sign.
My partner has just got her first car and I’m a named driver as a learner so will be getting a family member to start teaching me to get my test passed which I couldn’t do before with my hip the way it was so I won’t have to drive my motorcycle in all sorts of weather lol
Thanks again all
