Thank you
@Layla I am still progressing, albeit at a very slow pace. When I think about how far I have come, I know it is progress, but we don’t realise it every day, do we.
For instance, although when I go out I do keep my stick in the car, I don’t use it. I can’t say my hip feels normal yet. I’m still hoping that will come in time. I still feel that stiffness after sitting for a long time.
But I do feel perkier in myself. Though having to go into a 2nd lockdown from Thursday isn’t good. What a mess!
Having a kick start after my op, I have lost a stone in weight, which makes me feel much better about myself. Still using my treadmill once or twice a day, 30 odd minutes each time, 2.2 miles per hour, incline 1. I did up it to number 2 incline, but I felt that the next day.
I wonder what exercises I can do to build up muscles around the new joint? I think maybe I need to strengthen these to enable me to use steps properly?
