I thought I would just give a little update following my recent hip replacement operation. It's now six weeks post op and I can't believe it's all gone so well. I don't need crutches anymore and can walk for miles with no pain, It's wonderful. I know there's still a lot of healing to carry on but the consultant said he no longer needed to see me as I was doing so well. Also have seen physio and no longer have to go. So fingers crossed its all going the right way. Really glad I decided to have it done.
Still not driving yet I thought I would leave it a bit longer. In fact I thought I have a good excuse here to get a new car. I drive a manual gear mini (for US friends, most people in UK drive manual gears (stick) not automatic. I thought I'd get an automatic because I would save on changing gear and wear and tear on the new hip. Thought I'd get a Mini Countryman they are a bit higher up and better for me.
I have been walking daily but woke up to this today
I thought give it a miss I don't want to tempt fate!!!!!!
A little diversion here - during my time after the operation the part of the UK I live in north of England (East Lancashire) had really bad floods over Christmas and New Year and lots of houses and businesses were ruined. The clean up is still ongoing and will be for a long time yet. Fortunately I wasn't affected apart from the water gushing through the garage but thankfully my bungalow is on quite high ground so it just flowed downhill and away. I have since driven (not me driving) through some of the areas affected and it's still evident the effect the weather had on those areas.
