Fun, Sardonic, Illustrated THR Blog

[stillswimming]

Hi Everyone,

After my THR 5/8/09 I started a blog about the whole dreadful thing. Goes from initial pain through recovery, and I'm still logging on and updating in detail about pain, strengthening, physical therapy etc. It's illustrated with charming watercolor drawings. I hope it helps people at the start of this arduous process. If you're interested, it's at broken link removed: https://www.abluetruedreamofsky.blogspot.com/

Feel free to comment or to pass it along to others. We all need each other!
Thanks,
sva

Swimming, your blog is interesting and well done. I hope you also choose to post here on the forum and share your experiences with our members. Many of them might not go to a blog and would miss your delightful perspective on the surgery. You have a lot to offer here!

What a terrific blog, stillswimming and wonderful, wonderful artwork! Do read it everybody.

Welcome to BoneSmart, by the way. I echo what Jamie has said.

Thanks. I'll check in on the Forum, too---thankfully I'm now getting back to my life and don't have much free time, a statement I didn't think I'd make a month ago!

Thanks for this site, too!

Thank you thank you thank you...and dang you! I'm about 30 hours away from a LTHR and scared as all heck. I spent all my waking time today (thank you vicodin) reading your blog. It inspired me, scared me, made me laugh, made me fearful and hopeful. But it definitely made me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel I'm about to enter.

Love your humor, your artwork and the time it took you to put this all down to help others on their scary journey.
