Replacement Hip Operation

As for the socks hate them white ones.

I am sure you will feel loads better once you are back home brian.  Hope to hear that you are going home today.

Maybe going home today will have to wait until my inr is  back around 12.00. Getting better but still very stiff, it is so hot in this hospital can't wait to get home and have a decent cup of tea and some proper food.

Home now. Better being home.

Glad to hear you are home. I was only in two nights with mine although I suspect I came out a day too soon as I wasn't prepared for all the bruising that appeared immediately I got home!!! You will soon get used to walking, start off with very short ones and increase slightly everyday. Your body will tell you when its had enough!!! Atleast you can settle into your own routine rather than the hospital's.

So pleased you are now home Brian.  No place like home.  That is the operation over and done with now you can concentrate on the recovery.  And remember - do as you are told!

EDIT: I hope I am successful posting this time as I keep getting 'error' messages. Perhaps that is why it is very quiet on CT today

Didn't get much sleep Las night.watching the clock.as the day is going on the better i'm feeling. My operated leg.around the knee is quite swallen and sore a little difficult to bend. Stairs are easy peasy getting in & out of  bed is a challenge. Thank you for your support. Hard typing on a phone.

Hi Brian have followed your progress as I too had both hpips done 6 years ago with 4 months between. It's just as everyone says, take your time, follow the physios instructions and be a patient patient. The muscles take time to heal and strengthen so don't do my trick of trying to push a shopping trolley after 6 weeks !!! Really painful. Good luck, with a bit of care now you should be up and running by early summer. I do everything I did before and walk for an hour and a half every day with our 18 month old Labrador. Since starting to walk more my creaky knees have improved considerably which is a huge bonus as I was thinking they would be next !!! When you can't sleep at 2pm just plan a trip away regards Labdog 2
