Four months already and life is good except for the corona virus news everywhere. One of the times I am glad I live in the country with much less population density. At times it seems as if I just had the surgery and all the waiting for surgery was so long ago. It is a blessing that as we recovery we slowly forget most of the painful waiting.
I am doing great. I am working at the food pantry 3-4hrs 1x/week and the hip does not mind at all. My back minds a bit every once in a while but not the hips. Lots of walking and standing so it is good exercise as well as a needed service. I am riding my stationary recumbent bicycle at least 3x/week for 30 minutes on some of the preset courses which is helping rebuild my leg muscles. I am really hoping to get back on my bike later on as the poor thing has been hanging off the rafters in the garage for years now and is anxious to be used.
The newest right hip feels great but I can still tell I had surgery there while my left which is now 3yrs old I do not even think about at all. I am so thankful that the pain is gone and this is also something my husband says also.
I am continuing with Weight Watchers and have lost 47# so far. Took the very slow path of losing weight after surgery but did not stop trying. I think now with increased activity it will be a bit easier.
I am as always so thankful for this site and everyone here. It has helped me so much through all the joint replacements. I keep telling everyone about it and especially if discussing possible joint replacements.
