How about “Feeling Disappointed” or something similar, “defeated”, “disillusioned”, because you do seem to be feeling that way. If member’s want to read further to see why you’re feeling that way, they will, or they’ll choose not to.
It is unfortunate that many of us are not better informed and understand the reality of recovery. One thing you have to remember is that it can take a full year for most to recover. Many members notice improvement into their second and even third years post op. It is still early into recovery for you in the entire scheme of things.
I couldn’t either for several months, can you explain why you struggle with this?
I struggled due to the tight confines and inability to stretch and move my leg. Is it doable for you if you take breaks to stretch and walk while on a longer drive?
Here’s a tip -
Try heel-toe walking when you're limping.
This involves striking the ground with your heel first, then rolling through your heel to your toe, and pushing out of the step with your toe.
It takes a concentrated effort, but I believe you'll notice a difference. Give it a try, many do and most find it very helpful in losing the limp.
Stay adequately hydrated. Try Prunes, Apples, Pears, Kiwi, Figs, Citrus Fruits, Greens, Sweet Potatoes, Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, Oat Bran, to name a few ideas.
A daily walk also if you’re able may help.
Many are fatigued, you’re not alone. Until sleep regulates and it will, sleep when you’re able even if it means napping.
