THR Lindawalms Is On Her Way...

[alexthecat]

Hi, Linda! I just started teaching Body Pump to accommodate an influx of new members at the gym. I'll tell you that same thing I tell my students.

Get on a schedule with ibuprofen and stick to it for the next couple of days. Drink lots of water (or any non-caffeinated drink, actually). If you're still feeling a little stiff or sore in three or four days, go back and do another Pump class, but keep the weights light. Sometimes you can get rid of post-workout pain by returning to the workout that caused the pain in the first place as long as you don't try to do too much too soon.

Good luck! Have fun!

Thanks Alex - great advice :0)

Well its been 6 months (tomorrow) since my 2nd hip replacement - to celebrate I tried jogging a few minutes yesterday during my walk - didn't feel great but not bad either - and today all I have is what would be normal muscle soreness from not running since last May - I finally felt free for a few minutes yesterday, I'm so happy!!!

 

[Juliep]

That is wonderful !!

 

[Lindawalms]

Julie - thank you - how r u? How are the hips? And the knees? When are you going to have the knees done??
xoxo,

[alexthecat]

Linda, you are amazing! I'm so happy for you!

 

[Josephine]

Hee hee! We'll see you jogging yet!

 

[Vikki]

Well done Linda, so pleased to hear that you are getting on so well.

 

[Lindawalms]

well happiness is short lived - having another tooth extraction on Friday and then going thru the 7 month implant process again :(

:hate-shocked:

 

[Poppet]

Ouch!! Linda, hope all goes well with the dental work xx

 

[Juliep]

Dental work, UGH..... :frown: I need to get in for cleaning since I postponed because of the hips and I think I can tell that I may have a cavity (first time in forever). Just hate dental work like most of us.

 

[The Cappuccino Kid]

7 months! Wow. I'd rather have another THR

 

[Lindawalms]

yea, they extract this tooth now, then wait 3 months, then knock me out again to put the implant in, then wait 3 - 4 more months, then mold for the tooth, then i finally get it about 8 months later...fun fun stuff!!!
xoxox

Hang in there honeybun. No fun for sure, but you're made of tough stuff! Just think of that Million Dollar smile that you will have :DOH:...

(((((HUGS))))):console:

Did you make your call? At least have the meds ready!

 

[Lindawalms]

well they found a vein thank goodness, and all went well during the procedure - they pulled the tooth and then bone-grafted it.

I wasn't in too much pain when I got home due to the anesthesia, IV pain meds, and numbing - but since that has all worn off now its killing me!

I hope its ok I'm posting about a non-hip issue in my thread...but I can't sleep and feel horrible :(

Thanks for listening to my moan,
xoxox,
Linda.

 

[Jaycey]

Linda, you can post anything you want - it's your thread! Hang in there. At least it's all done and you can move forward now. Take care!

 

[Juliep]

Glad it went well Linda. If I would have been up a little bit later I would have chatted. Lol. I was up until 2:00 a.m. and just could not sleep. Today will be a long day. Hope the pain simmers down for you today.

 

[Josephine]

ooooh! nasteee I think dental is pain worse than anything.
