Happy 1st Anniversary to me today. I am greatful each & everyday that I had THR last year. My leg length is normal, very rarely have a limp in my gait (limp goes away within minutes of just walking). Snow is finally gone here in CNY and ready to condition myself for the World Horseshoe Pitching Tournament, being held this summer in my home state. I am totally greatful for this site also. When people ask my husband how I am doing he tells them that I researched, studied and learned from others mistakes in recovery and tells them "she probably could perform the operation". Does that sound like someone that is a bit proud? So if I can give anything back, please do not rush your recovery, don't compare yours to someone else, everyone heals differently. You have any concerns tag forum nurse (still practicing I might add) Josephine she gives excellent advice and knows what she is talking about.
I hope my fellow hippies of last year are doing well also. I think of so many of you all the time. You all helped in my recovery even if it was about pooping, eating prunes, playing games etc. I will stop back from time to time to see how you new hippies are doing. If you run across this thread and have a question just tag me and I'll be sure to answer you.
TAKE CARE HIPSTERS!~ Karen
