@Layla Wild Man?!? Moi? Pretty tame this weekend, it was 24F this morning with freezing rain and sleet overnight. Wind chill was 10 this am. Windy! Supposed to be cool and windy tomorrow too, so I'm working out indoors.
We are going to Texas next week to meet our new great-granddaughter. I'm taking my bicycle. Extended forecast calls for 90's next week down there. Hallelujah!

Thank You @ajr1949
My recovery is going well, can't complain.
I hope your revision recovery is going well at only two months post op.
I need to go check your thread and catch up on your progress.
Wishing you a great week!
Hi @labanan
My moms recovery is going great. It's her second so she's familiar.
She's moving a tad slower....thankfully, but not skipping a beat. Thanks for inquiring!
I hope your week is wonderful!
Aaah, Dougie
You never cease to amaze me. No grass growing under your feet. Still an inspiration.
A great week to you!

You both have my sympathy having snow and ice again. It's after Easter for goodness sake! It's the season of new life, green shoots and fluffy bunnies! What is Mother Nature up to? Or is this type of weather typical for you at this time of year?

The weather has been crazy @gillycat11
Not normal for this time of year. Average high should be around 60 degrees.
Spring is coming, warming up here for the weekend and hopefully the last remnants of Winter will melt away.
You're right....It is the season of new life. New life with a new hip!!!
Funny thing...as I was driving in the car today, I was thinking of early recovery and the excitement of
feeling I could embrace life once again with the ability to do the things that OA held me back from. I kind of miss that initial high. The feeling of a re-birth of sorts. Can anyone relate? While I'm still not 100% at ten months out, I'm no longer in pain and that males me happy and thankful each and every day!

I think having the second hip done reawakened some of that. Just as I was enjoying the new hip, the 2nd reared up. It made me appreciate the 1st all the more. Then the 1st gave me a good contrast with the 2nd. Probably one of the reasons I'm getting into swing dancing and hiking is to add more new avenues to keep the feeling and wonder fresh.

I don't want to have my other hip done to awaken that feeling again 
@SaraK
I'd be game for the hiking you're undertaking, sounds fun, but nuh uh to the swing dancing.
It may be a good idea to engage in something I had to stop due to hip pain.
Or something new and adventurous like......bungee jumping!

@Layla I have spent a week rejoicing in my new hip. We have travelled to France and I have done things I couldn’t do last year. My finest moment was walking up all the staircases in a very old castle. Last year I would have been on my hands and knees. I’m sure there is something you can think of that you had to miss out on before surgery.

How about marathoning and Ironman, hahaha.
But seriously: I think running is now officially accepted after hip replacement.
Thank you for your nice comforting words on my recovery thread, @Layla, when I had my fall over Easter an couldn't run. I'm a lot better, not 100% though. Tried to run 1 km yesterday but it turned out to be 3 kms (because I met some friends in the forest). Silly isn't it. Had to pay the price - icing, elevating, resting, no running, and Diclofenac ointment today.
I wish you and your mum all the best for your hip(s). Keep us up-to-date about how you're getting on.
I'm so sorry about the blizzard. In Germany, it wasn't anything like as bad as that, but we also had another cold spell with snow at the wrong time of year: March. Now it's summer here (also at the wrong time of year) - 30°C. I think that's 86°F (sorry, I still haven't got a degree in Fahrenheit, haha).
Take care
