I've never heard of the lateral approach before. That scar might be easier to hide under a bathing suit
Lol, yup. I already treated myself to a brand new pair of swim bottoms with a cute little skirt attached lol. I already have a pair of shorts that I used when I went canoeing that 1 time lol that will never happen again.
it always feels a bit better afterwards.
Yes.. Felt so good that I cried a few more times yesterday lol lol OK yesterday was rough....
I am sooooo glad to read that you are doing well. It makes me that much more hopeful that I can manage...oh, my attire to live in post op
That is PERFECT! LOL
And I'm glad you find my recovery so far to be comforting. I hope I continue to be a source of Encouragement for you and everyone else who hasn't gotten to this side yet. Just thinking about the anxiety that I had in my days and weeks pre op still brings a tear to my eye.
WOW Have I been emotional the last couple of days. Not sure if that's my usual hormonal cycle lol guess I will have to check the calendar, or if it's just all catching up to me. I continue to be humbled by the amount of help I am receiving from my 2 dearest friends. I am not one to ask for help much, ok ever.. much to my detriment, and when it comes to running the house, family, etc... I've never had The opportunity to send the kids to grammas for the weekend, or have a date night with hubs while your best friend's baby sit. Probably because I never asked. I'm stubborn that way. But now that I had to ask, and they more than willingly have gone above and beyond anything I ever expected is just humbling. It's also very difficult for me to let go of the Responsibilities. My tenacity and determination begins to kick in and that's when I reapply for membership to the "over did it club"
I had physical therapy yesterday and I'm starting to have some aches on the other hip. At this point I'm assuming it's just from the exercise that I haven't done in so long. I only had to take 2 pain pills yesterday, one in the mid afternoon, and 1 before bed.
THAT was encouraging...
It is still extremely painful getting in-and-out of the car, so I have made arrangements with my friends to split the taxi driving with me. Both of my kids attend 2 different schools with 2 different drop off and pick up times, (as well as their after school activities) and
So, the 2 trips I do make the administration at the school has agreed to come out to the car to collect my youngest so that I don't have to get out and walk her in at 9am , the same for pick up at noon.
I've started preparing or at least deciding what I am going to make for dinner the night before, because I have to have it finished so early ( 3Pm) for my husband to leave for work I know I will not have the energy for that in the middle of the day.
This morning I threw something in the crock pot before I dropped my little one off at school knowing when I got home, I would have 3 hours to rest before I had to go and pick her up again instead of having to worry about making dinner.
That is a trend I hope to keep up even after I am feeling much better. Meal planning is something I was never able to fully accomplish. I will say having the grocery delivery service seems to be making that easier as I can make sure I have all ingredients on hand at the touch of a button.
Today I'm researching PT locations. I begin outpatient therapy next week not exactly sure how I'm going to fit that in lol
Canada
Not really, but that's what it felt like coming at you from nowhere.
I guess when we are looking at our progress we need to consider the difference approaches taken in surgery as well. Good luck today. I know you are nervous with hubby going back to work, but you're going to do great! 
Glad I am no longer teaching, they will be a mess when they finally return.
