Bilateral THR Thing 1 and Thing2'

[Layla]

Wonderful! @Berber7227
That toddler like walking of the stairs was getting to me pre-op.
I still find it refreshing 6 mo post op to have an appreciation for
so much I once took for granted. Like walking the stairs.
Hope you have a great day! Keep us posted on The Adventures of Berber.....

Walked out of PT today. Had a new therapist. First thing, bike to warm up. Seat was not set correctly. Way to high. Did not realize it. twisted something, did bike for 3 min, could not continue. Asked to stop. Was told I had to stay on for 5 min. Was in so much pain, said I was going home. Left! The only thing they asked, did I want ice! Really! Have call in to Dr and regular therapist, do I stop, keep trying? So depressed, just want this over!!!

 

[hikejunkie]

Wow. I’m sorry you went through that. I would have left too. I’m sorry you’re depressed but even with one hip done I wouldn’t expect a lot at the month point. And you got two done! Hang in there.

@Berber7227 I think you did the right thing getting out of there. I'm sure you can reassess after talking to your doc and usual therapist. Hopefully with a little rest and TLC you'll be back at it quickly. You've been amazing to get to the point you are after barely a month!

 

[Berber7227]

Contacted Dr, he is going to talk to PT today! We will see what happens.......

 

[Layla]

Good for you! @Berber7227
PT is personal, I guess we each need to do what we feel led to do.
I started PT, was scheduled for 12 but after 3 I quit. I liked the therapist but she was young and
I wasn't crazy about some of the exercises she put me through. Stories abound here how many thrive without therapy and I took "The Big Tip" seriously.

If I decide I need to work on something in particular, or need direction, I'd go back. Haven't felt the need to date. What concerns me are the poor people who view PT's as authority figures and more knowledgeable about what we should be doing with our body, than what our body is telling us. I applaud those who don't push it when their body is rebelling. Rest up, ice, ice, ice and weigh out what the doctor says.
Wishing you comfort tonight, Berber.

Wow @Berber7227, that is horrible. I would have said more than i’m Going home! (Out of respect for others on this site I won’t say what I would have said). Proud of you standing up for yourself. You have come so far in the last month. I hope with ice and rest you feel better.

 

[Gretel]

That’s really not good about the pt :( Hope you’re okay now.

Thigh muscle pain very prevalent up to 4 months for me...I have quad pain now WHEN I OVERDO.
See a pattern here??
Only one month and you do enough PT by doing too much on a regular basis. You can always pic
Step up PT, step up pain.
That's how I see it.
Legs are injured, not weak.
Aggravating them is not going to help!
You are smart, you'll figure it out or possibly cause chronic problem.
Don't forget the BIG TIP.
Worry about you my bilateral friends.

I think you are doing enough "PT" if not overdoing it a little on your own...you don't need extra aggravation to those legs. You can take a break immediately from PT. I did.

 

[Layla]

So how are Thing 1 & 2 doing? Hopefully well.....you've been unusually quiet.
Hope you're feeling okay. Wondering what your doc had to say about PT?
Update us if you feel like sharing.
Hope you have a good night and great Thursday! @Berber7227

 

[Mojo333]

Hey my bouncing bilateral bud...how have you been? Had PR day for food bankyesterday.
I will be on a local news channel, much to my chagrin....thought it was an article interview...not a video
Then 2 hour drive to rehome daughters dog...and back was unhappy.
Hope you've been doing well....have you recovered from some of your PT problems?
Wishing you a good day...you know when the adrenaline rush wears off, the post op blues can creep in. Hope that's not why you've been AWOL. If so, come whine. If not, have fun...carefully!

 

[MammaT]

Oh @Berber7227 where are you? As much as you don’t like the season I hope you have a :merryx:

 

[Gretel]

I’m popping in to check on you too! Though I did nearly type ‘pooping in’
Hope you’re doing okay. I’m feeling Christmasy today. I finished the shopping and wrapped everything!

 

[Layla]

Now @Gretel .....that would be quite the entrance
I'll tell you...I've gasped a few times while on this forum at some of the things Auto Correct changed
that I had to correct! The word "die" comes to mind.
I don't recall what I type but AC corrects it to "die" it's happened numerous times.

@Berber7227
As you can see you have people here who care. Hopefully you're not under the weather with the crud
that manifests this time of year. Give us a shout out so we know you're okay. And as Mojo mentioned
post op blues can happen. If that's the case.....take comfort, it's only temporary.
Wishing you a good Thursday.

 

[Layla]

Knock, knock @Berber7227 .....you there?
Are you maybe feeling a little like this
Cuz if you are...we can get you feeling like this
C'mon.....you know we can.
Do we need to come after you

Collectively we're concerned
Just hoping you're buried in sheep or chocolate covered cherries, something simple like that....

 

[Gretel]

I’d like to be covered in chocolate covered cherries....

 

[Layla]

Worried about you @Berber7227
I'll bet I'm not alone in that.....

 

[MammaT]

Agree @Berber7227- would love an update. You are such a dynamo I miss your energy.

 

[MammaT]

@Berber7227 please quit hiding- we miss you!

 

[Layla]

Hey Berber.....
Are you under the mistletoe with Santa:santa hug:
Or trying to help Rudy who's fallen and can't get up :reindeer:

Maybe still creating your crafty sheep or drizzling an adult beverage into chocolate covered cherries
for your bro:box:

Whatever you're doing....we're concerned and thinking of you...

Can you give us one of these

Just let us know you're okay.
