    THR pikesan's recovery thread

    Quick update... I'm not even 2 months past my surgery. BOY am I impatient! I started to feel like my healing was plateau-ing? Like it wasn't continuing to get better. I think it is... just not as quickly because there's not as much healing to do. Strength is still coming back, balance is pretty...

    THR pikesan's recovery thread

    I feel like I need to give back to this forum. The support and success stories I read here, especially younger or same age folks doing MORE activities than I wanted to do. Plus, I needed to change the page in my life. 8 years of pain was enough. My surgery was on 2/4, today is 3/4. This is my...

    2019 February Valentines - Are you having hip surgery in February?

    Hey all, Pikesan here. I’m out of surgery about 4.5 days. I’m only walking with a walker but feeling better and more confident every hour I get up to walk. Other than that, I’m just resting. Any questions, please ask I’m happy to help!

    2019 February Valentines - Are you having hip surgery in February?

    Can't wait for Feb! My hip must somehow know it's painful, tortuous days are numbered! It's been a real pain-in-the-hip lately! What will I be like w/o nearly constantly having hip pain on my mind!?

    THR Look mom - no more duck tape!

    Great reading! Can't wait to post about my recovery. Not sure I can match the story telling or song writing or catbox details, but I'll try! Luckily, no lengthening needed for me, so I'm hoping for a similar recovery to you - the trooper!

    THR SuperPath and Hip Dysplasia

    Hi @Mersada you're a trooper! Going it alone? I hope @SwampHiker's post helped you. I'm getting Superpath in Feb so reading how she's going up and down stairs is very encouraging! Good luck to you and I'll look for your recovery posts! (I'll also get myself some ugly house dresses... :rotfl:)
