Bilateral THR Grateful Double Hippy

[Mojo333]

Got my fish back and mounted it on a cool stump I dragged out of the pond myself.
My new hips have made my life So So Much better.
Even with the world's problems, I always want to remain Grateful.

What a great idea for mounting. Like you, every time I do things around the house or yard I am so thankful that the pain is gone and the hips and knees let me do what I want or need to do.

Still warm enough to swim so after a nice day off thef swimming and floating, I helped my brother in law with his boat shelter addition.
I think it took me two years before I got up the nerve to get up on a ladder but my legs are strong and better than ever.
Jeez...just noticed in the pic, I've only got one leg
I promise you I have two.

You look fantastic up there and very comfortable. I still do not like ladders but then I never did except for the first two steps. Hate heights.

Look at you!!!! You look fantastic. How I envy you the warm weather. We have beautiful fall colors but I swear, the damp cold just makes everything hurt!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Bonesmart family.
Still so grateful for my new hips and for the forum that hugged me through the hard parts.

Happy Thanksgiving from across the pond!

Happy thanks giving from Germany, too, @Mojo333 . Your pictures - the fish and you on the ladder - look fun. Enjoy swimming while you can. No swimming for me at the moment. Indoor pools closed until further notice. Too cold to swim in the lakes. Temperatures just above freezing. But I can still cycle and run. Did the virtual Frankfurt Marathon in October in 5 hours 36 minutes, entered the result on the virtual Frankfurt Marathon website and uploaded my certificate.

Best wishes to you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you @Mojo333 and all the Bonesmarties out there, particularly all the Mods that have supported all of us through our personal ordeals.

Sometimes, it's the simple things...
Good day today and yes, that's my big fat bass.

@mojo You and your fat bass are looking lovely

 

[FCBayern]

And what an attractive bass it is!

Happy Hippy Easter every bunny.

Happy 4th Anniversary!

@Mojo333 Happy May Day, Beltane, Kentucky Derby Day AND Bilateral Anniversary Day

 

[Mojo333]

Thanks for the hipversary well wishes.
Yes, I spent my May 1 supervising a wonderful group of middle schoolers for some sorely needed spring cleaning at the Food Bank.

Over four years ago, I would only describe my day to day life as miserable and depressing. I was sleep deprived and always hurting.

My new hips have given me my life back. I dash about most days and though there are always things to be concerned about...my hips are Good.
I think I will always be more careful than I was before regarding high impact or high risk activities...jumping down from heights, etc. because I do want these hips to be my forever hips.
Still grateful.

 

[Hip Hip Hooray!]

Exactly. I feel the same way, @Mojo333. Your fishing photos are fabulous! So glad that you are pain free and passionate about your hobbies. You look great.

Today is my 58th Birthday.
Not Soliciting Birthday wishes just a post that hopefully inspires.
I was feeling 98 four and 1/2 years ago before bilateral hip replacement.
I feel like I'm 38 now ♡
My hips get a workout everyday keeping our local food bank alive.
Put on a few lbs (what is with this older metabolism?) but still Grateful Double Hippy.

 

[Mojo333]

Haha, my screenshot says Fix Lighting...maybe thats why my belly looks plumper

Squatting up against that wall for a picture this would've been impossible pre-op so... Yay Me
