THR Hawai'i Healing Hipster

Thanks for the Happy:yes!: log leg wish. I feel like I have patches of skin in various stages of repair. If it was visable, my thigh would look like a calico cat. :kitty:Part still feels like plastic.:headbang: Some is numb :thud:(feels different than plastic). Some burns when touched. :yikes:
 
Thank you @Mojo333 ! That's a wonderful compliment.:flwrysmile: I think I am doing well. If I knew what I know now, prior to my bionic day, it would have been a little less bumpy. :wink: if I become bilateral bionic, it will be useful. I'm new to the pesky Fibromyalgia:tantrum: and it made my path bumpier than it would have been otherwise. I need to get back to my Tens search. (I trust my source):capn:
 
Do you have any idea how jealous I am with your picture of your foot, the driftwood, the beach, the water? :snork: I gotta find a "warmer" picture. I am sitting in my recliner (it's heated), with a heated throw over the top of me. I have on wool socks, and fleece sweats with wool slippers. OH...and there is snow on the deck and if I could use the hot tub, I would be frozen before I got there. Sigh.....:tantrum: My sister and brother in law just booked a trip to Hawaii in April. double sigh..............................
 
That is my left foot....goes with my left hip.:heehee: I hope I am ready to take a walk to Makapu'u Lighthouse by then. I believe this link is only about the lighthouse with no shopping. We have seen the migrating whales. Heard them too! The whole trail is 2 miles and paved. Easy to stop and turn around, if you aren't up to the whole trail. https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/hiking/oahu/makapuu-point-lighthouse-trail/
 
@AgilityDog I went to the website and took the 360 degree Google tour. Beautiful! BUT, why are there padlocks on the chain link fence? There are bunches of them. 50? 60? more? Makes me wanna go on vacation somewhere warm...:swim:
 
Maybe it is a lock of love?:roseshwr: Ah, a mystery. I will check. Once, we heard the splash of the whales and whale song. I like that it's nicely paved and there are plenty of places to stop and take photos or :sleep:rest. I can hardly wait. :tiredwheel:Tomorrow is 2 weeks. I think I should wait a little longer.:bored:
 
Happy Monday @AgilityDog
Thanks for the explanation of the avatar! How great and so optimistic!
I'll bet you're seeing that light get brighter day by day.
Still very early days and outings do drain the energy right out of us early on.
Hope your week is great and log leg takes its final bow......with no encores :heehee:
 
Thank you, @Layla :yes: . I think the log is almost gone. I'm watching the local weather. We had flash flood warnings all weekend. :kayak:we even had thunderstorms. I know, but they are few & fat between here. It was a good day for propping up & ice. :horseriding::ice:I think I rolled around (or moved) more last night. I'm a little sore. I can hardly wait to be able to sleep on my side. :bow:Silly little things.
 
When we moved to Hawai'i from the mainland, we checked shipping costs.:scary:We packed a few things and mailed them.:wowspring:In order to have enough pillows to prop up my leg, I put a couple of quilts/blankets in unused pillow shams.:):sleeep: I think the King size sham has a 1ton quilt in it. An additional bonus: the 'pillow' is heavy and stays put.:ok: Others might be on the floor in the AM, but not my quilt/pillow:SUNsmile:
 
Getting better all the time, lady!
Be patient with the activity...still very early days for you but you are doing great.
Hope hubby is taking notes
 
Sounds like I should have done that for my pillow to rest my upper leg on when I started using the bed. I kept waking when on my op side because the pillow would fall (get kicked) onto the floor in the middle of the night. It couldn't stray to far on the other side so at least I could be assured the op leg had something to rest on.
 
So you're paying for your surgeon's vacation home? I've referred one friend to my surgeon whose had 2 THR and another that's had 1. Another planning a new pair of hips. I need to figure out how to get my referral fee!
