Hello there my dear people with new Hips
Today is my 5th month postOp
I decided to celebrate it with some water activity (it’s way too early but I wanted to just try) First time in my life I decided to try sup boarding.

Most of the time I was on my knees but at the end decided to just try and stand up and balance for 10-15 minutes

In general I feel great and keep exercising and walking a lot. Hardly ever I feel depressed about my leg or have bad thoughts or regrets. Mostly I just keep going and hope to get better and better

Half a year
I’m a little speechless to be honest.

It’s hard to believe that half a year already has passed. My first few days after the Op were really hard. I regretted doing that and I thought life was going to be slow, miserable and hard.

Now looking back I see that these months have gone really fast and aaaaa looooot of things were done and achieved.

I’ve watched some videos of me doing exercises for the first time and now and it’s absolutely crazy and amazing. And just today I’ve realized that it doesn’t hurt. And it’s been a freaking while

Now I know that it’s time to work a little harder and walk more and now I know it was a right decision. And if I could go back in time and talk to myself in February I’d say “go girl! You can do it!”

So if you have just done your surgery or if you are a bit down or scared, my dear friend, let me tell you!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! It will get better and better every day!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses

@Layla thank you

Life seems hard sometimes so having nice people around (even online) it’s a blessing

Great update. When we are in beginning of recovery & everything hurts it's difficult to see the end result, but we reach various milestones during our recovery & then we look back & realize we were enjoying small victories here & there.
There's a young person that posted recently that is nervous about getting hip replacement at her young age, your story will inspire her & I hope she reads it.

 

[Anna_K]

@myglasshalffull i hope and I’ll try to find her post and write something nice

 

[Anna_K]

Wow it’s been a whole year! It’s hard to believe honestly!
At the beginning of this journey I was so upset and broken but now I know it was the right decision!
It was a year full of struggles and hard work! But achievements and wins!

I tried a little crossfit, Pilates, bachata, and high heels dance! I keep moving, keep trying, keep listening to my own body! I see Success and feel happy! I hope for the best ahead
