Oh, yes, that good ol' "fast forward button!" There is nothing like wanting out of this recovery process and back into the normal swing of things, is there, Brenda!?! I think I mentioned somewhere in my recovery thread that in the months leading up to my THR, my thoughts were pretty much consumed with all things surgery! I didn't give the recovery aspect much thought - I guess I figured it would just happen, and I'd be on my way to being able to walk without pain! The recovery aspect has been more challenging than I expected, but at the same time I'd have to say the harder parts of the journey don't last long. I've been living on ice for the past 4 weeks, and know that's been a real help. (Of course, there have been the occasion ice pack "oh no's!" - like the time I woke up at 3 am in a completely sopping bed! My poor husband was jolted out of sleep by my "OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!" - only to then have to completely strip the sheets, remake the bed and then get me a brand new ice pack! I don't think we got much sleep that night! ;-) With each week that passes you'll get clearer and clearer glimpses of the normal life you've not been able to live for what I'm guessing has been quite a while... oh, that's where it starts getting really good!!! We're on our way, Brenda!!!! xoxoo
