Hi,
I haven't been here for a while as I went back to work part time a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to keep up with my studying and everything else at the same time. I'm going to try working a full week next week so may not be back here for a while.
I went out for a short walk today and for the first time didn't use my walking stick. I've been taking it everywhere with me just in case I need it but today my husband carried it for me and I was fine. I've been driving short distances for a couple of weeks too which is great after being without my car for a couple of months.
For the first 9 weeks I was taking paracetamol before I got up in the morning but now I'm able to leave it until later in the day. It's now nearly 4pm and I've just realised I haven't taken any pain killers yet today. Maybe this will be the first day I won't need them.
I'm having my right hip replaced on 27 August so now feel I'm well on the way to being ready for that. It's the pain in my right hip that is stopping me from walking further at the moment.
Hope you're all doing well.
