Well, it’s now 6 weeks since my THR, and it’s amazing how the days go to weeks, and soon months (although I’ve noticed this in life too!).
My 6-week check is on Tuesday and I’m optimistic that all will be well.
I’m about ready to hand back the crutches, having gradually introduced unassisted stretches into my daily walks. I’d also started forgetting the crutch here and there.
I’ve been off all painkillers for a few weeks now, and apart from a feeling of tiredness around the hip sometimes, I have no pain.
Went briefly to the local town centre today. It felt a little odd without a walking aid, and after 30 minutes I did fall back on an extendable walking stick that I had in my rucksack.
I hope this will be read by some pre-op members and that they find it encouraging.
