Hi all, so sorry keep meaning to do an update but life’s been a bit hetic and strange lately for us all. An update on hips in short fantastic I have my life back and can do so much more than before . For instance pre op could not walk for more than say 10 mins in shops before pain about 5 months after spent the whole day 9 to 5 walking around the shops only stopping for lunch no pain and smiling all day . I joined aqua aerobics and the gym and started getting my fitness level up and returned to nursing in November . My family and friends noticed my mood had changed dramatically from grouchy to happy and that I was able to do so much more . I feel like me again pre hip op my mum who’s 92 had better mobility now I feel quite spritely and feel a good 10 years younger . I feel so good now , I was so so scared and hesitant about surgery and I am blessed that thus far all is well . I hope my update helps someone else debating about wether to have both hips done. I can only say I’m glad I did now it was difficult at the time I had ups downs did too much worried a lot BUT if you take it easy dont compare yourself with others recovery to harshly and ask for tips advice and reassurance you’ll do fine
