Totally understand where you’re at headwise... one thing i’ve leaned the hard way is acceptance of the patience thats needed while we recover.. and i know others here will agree. it simply can’t be rushed, as much as we’d LOVE to get some normality back and sharpish.I’m 5 weeks post op and really struggling mentally , I’m 42 year old male farmer and I presumed I would be fully off my crutches at this stage, had a review with my surgeon and physio and was told I’m behind on recovery and it will be another few weeks.
I had my recovery planned in my head and was going to be getting back to work slowly on farm at this stage walking without the crutch , gutted and fed up with being asked about the crutch and how young i am to have surgery , just want to be inconspicuous whdd ed n I’m out and around again , s as none get what I’m saying
I too am too young for the double THRs, but it is as it is.
5 weeks is early days while you’re bod is knitting back together 24/7, i think it helps giving yourself the space, and time to let it happen. I realise being a farmer, that will be easier said than done....
But frustrations will get less. Every one of us is different in recovery, my 2 new hip jobs over this last year weren’t the same each time. But day by day....just keep going. Go easy on yourself, give your self permission to recover. (I kept fighting that and didnt fo myself any favours)
I hope this gives encouragements, this forum has been a great help for my struggles recovering too, its been a very long long road for me, but the understanding here is really good! Nobody knows what these ops are like unless they've had/having one themselves.
