Have you seen my post a bit upthread dte?

300 yards is brilliant, well done.
I can’t do that myself

Thankyou

300 yards is not to be sniffed at so 👏

Thanks SL I notched up 640 steps yesterday around my tiny flat,I checked that is equivalent to approx 300 yards..wahoo
Flowers appreciated thankyou

Sorry about the flowers 🌺

It’s quite major surgery and does take time to properly recover.

Thanks SL,cabin fever setting in.
I have an exercise sheet but looking aftermyself means that the exercises are performed throughout the day with the household things that need doing.
I have perfected the curtsey should our new sovereign and his missus pop round,when emptying dish washer and washing machine when the last sock gets tucked up the top.
I miss my shower,mine is over the bath,but have bought a seat to fix on bath,so hopefully if clips are removed wednesday that can happen.
I wish I knew if I was doing what I should be,or if I am allowed so many do/ and donts.

Hi downtoearth
I remember feeling absolutely ghastly too.
I was going to give you a heads up about it, but I thought it might be a bit of a downer.
Yes, a felt like crap for a good few weeks afterwards.
Then! I felt great, but that was quite short lived because I realised that I had additional problems which I couldn’t really understand, but of course now know it’s down The Odd Legs Issue.

I hope you feel better soon, don’t fight it, be kind to yourself.
Practice Self Compassion, treat yourself like you would a poorly, sad loved one
and a gentle hug x

We are number 2

It’s me again.,.or else good idea to split your posts so we stand a chance on Active,

Why not ring a friend fir a chat or invite someone over, they might help with something which needs doing which you can’t manage yourself.

Morning downtoearth, here’s to another day. As time goes on you will find an exaggerated curtesy with operated leg sticking out straight behind helps when aids are out of reach unavailable and you need to pick something up.
My curtsy would not have embarrassed me had I been lucky enough to attend the coronation and proved invaluable post op,
You are on your own and it’s hard but every day you are another step closer to recovery.
Well done x

Anyone

In the pathetic hope that someone might converse with me as I am feeling sorry for myself.
Is this normal for day 12,post op aches and pains,swollen trotter like foot and ankle,and generally feeling down in the dumps

I am breaking my whinging up into different posts to gain a place on the list to bemoan my angst

Euphoria that op had been done, has given way to the day on day tedium of gadgets that are meant to make my single life easier till full mobility hopefully restored,are never where they are meant to be,and when crutches slide to the floor when parked,and your grabber has fallen as well,the effort required to become inventive to retrieve said articles is becoming less than funny.

Morning all hips/ kneesters.
Day 12, Emotional today,the sheer effort required to get myself washed and dressed has me wanting to howl,

Think we all know our place Charleygirl.

Gone again

8silverlining* I do know my place!

I wonder if any of the other long term threads have the same problem,
From Malfunctioning hips and knees to malfunctioning GN systems..🥸

Yes, it’s lots of threads

We are slipping fast....

Fancythat started a thread about the malfunctioning Active List yesterday.
I admit that I am getting rather obsessive about it.
There have now been at least six threads about it (I have collated them all on the thread).
I have emailed HQ again about it, it was over a month ago that I last contacted them

Bingo! No 1 !
