Morning fellow hipsters, thank you Fanny fir starting part 2. Have to admit I tried earlier but forgot how to do it....
I had responded to ipadGrandma early this morning, pressed send and it just shut me out.
Still we are used to that given the invisibility of posts on the active list. Glad you included knees too by the way, I was thinking that myself.
It is an achievement fir a one, or now two subject post to last so long, and it has pleasantly surprised me. I had no preparation fir my op (10 weeks now) and as I said in my original post knew no one who had had a hip hop,; well now I know, wecall know, lots of supportive people who have helped and encouraged those of us with questions or concerns.
Fanny you are only a few days post op, it’s hard as I wasn’t well fir the first week or so, Susie was the same, but every day will improve, it really will but patience is needed. How is your dp, you said he’s been ill recently, so it is going to be stressful just coping especially only just after the operation.
I put a sock on today, for the first time (10 weeks post op) so it will take time. Not easy though I was very fed up so do understand.
On a. Lighter note my very old, (25 years) trainers have bitten the dust so needed a new pair. Yesterday I had to take my trusty long handled shoe horn with me, much to the surprise of fellow tkmaxx shoppers. I actually found a reasonably priced pair of sketchers, which I bought ( upmarket fir me but needs must and keep hearing how comfy they are) ) but when I got then home there was a fault and they had clearly been worn a few times as ‘chers’ was only visible inside. No ‘sk’. Why hadn’t I noticed that? Anyway I had to return shoes for another pair avec shoe horn and nearly put a fellow shoppers eye out who was crouching behind me. These things can be lethal, but so useful. I wouldnt be without it and my grabber. Luckily No harm done, thank goodness,
Here’s a question, has anyone been left post op with one longer leg? Have had it measured and there is a difference,if only marginal, but I feel it. I wonder if it might affect my gait. Will confer with podiatrist today.
Here’s to this thread’s continuing success. Hurrah! Drinks all round.
