Almost 2 weeks ago I had a total hip replacement. I’m 66, pre-op was pretty fit, walking 10,000 + steps a day, swimming x 3 a week, and doing Zumba. I’m quite shocked, tbh, by how much the op has floored me. I’m gradually building up my walking, and doing physio exercises several times a day, but I feel so ‘fragile’. Emotionally, I cry at the drop of a hat. Physically am exhausted and feel helpless, I have a puzzle in the go., knit, sew, read, watch TV etc so I’m not just curled up under the duvet, but I would appreciate hearing others’ experiences of recovery, as although I have the help and support of my loving partner, who is herself a nurse, I feel isolated and low. Thank you.
