I am off my crutches already. I'm only limping a little bit now and the pain is hardly there now.

I was told a minimum of 2 weeks of being on my crutches in the house and longer out of the house. Well i knew i would prove them all wrong, well i can be hard work lol. If you tell me i can't i will anyway.

Well this time last week i thought i would never be better and now i am already doing general house work. Oh and before anyone starts i'm only doing the easy bits no heavy lifting that still hurts.

So now i will start some light excercise to strenghthen my muscles around my hip again and hopefully this is it i will be on the mend and never have to have surgery again.

Well not for at least 10-20 years hehe. xxxxx

You really need to be taught some lessons young lady! lol If you are supposed to be resting, that means doing nothing! lol It's taken me 16 years but finally I have started listening to the doc and my mom, and doing precisely what I have been advised.  It is a killer, but you do appreciate being able to run round after everyone as soon as you can! pmsl  Good for you though

Hmmmm how do you tell a stubborn minded mum to rest....hmmmm it's a difficult one.....

Nagging or was it called constructive something..... sorry can't remember....

So misses!

Rest

Make sure if you do anything do light bits

Make sure that you do use the crutches (i've found out the hard way they're given to you for a reason! Not ruling the roost with iron sticks but to help make sure you don't end up taking one step forward and two steps backwards!)

Oh and Rest, drink tea..... make sure that you do use them (even if it's just one of them) and take it easy.... you might have a good couple of days then a bad few.... please please pace yourself.....

yes i know i'm nagging i just don't want you to suffer a set back.  Sending you hugs and hoping this is it for you (well for the operations anyway!)
