Just a quick update , after two years constant pain I finally had my hip replaced last Wednesday, all went well apart from a touch of pneumonia after the opp so they kept me in 5 days instead of the planned 3.
I have some impressive bruising to display and a little soreness and still very stiff in the Quad muscles , but the constant nagging pain is all gone and I have been able to cut back on the strong painkillers that were making my life a misery. Only a matter of time now till I am fully functioning again. :thumbsup:

Brilliant news, tiz :thumbsup:
Keep doing the exercises and you'll be giving Gaby a run for her money again very soon :-*
-
Brill! My mum has had both her knees done and it has literally given her her life back. Enjoy :)
-
That's great news :thumbsup: Constant pain is SO debilitating. So you'll be leaping about like a young thing in time for summer :sunshine:
-
Good news.
I expect you will be frolicking in the fields in no time.
All the best.
-
Excellent news :thumbsup:
-
Delighted for you, have missed you posts of late :thumbsup:
-
Great newsTiz !
3 days planned stay after a hip op sounds like you went private ::) - my brother only got 42 hours inpatient stay on the NHS last week.
i hope the chest has cleared up and that your are well enough to crack on with all the exercises - gardening soon then !?!
-
Glad you have finally had the op Doug. You will feel like a spring chicken in no time :hug:
-
My mum had hers done and is doing just fine . You will be frolicking like a spring lamb next year.

Doug, loads of new hips in our bit of Wales.
Had an accident in November and fractured mine ..... screwed back together and so far so good.
My neighbour had a replacement in October. He is well into his seventies and already back training his collies, catching moles, sorting ponies feet and so on. He felt better almost straight away and looks really well now.
Another lady farmer was knocked over by a feisty cow (the moo moo kind) and is back to night shift lambing .... climbing hurdles etc etc .
Get better soon ...... I reckon climbing all these Welsh hills soon strengthens the legs back up!!!! ;D
-
Really good to hear :thumbsup:
A friend's just had his second (other) hip replaced and is back to climbing mountains -what a difference it's made to him.
Hope you're doing the same soon :)
-
:bouquet: wishing you a speedy recovery back to the grind :hug:
-
Soon be back to running around trying to catch escaping animals.

To answer a few, Thanks for all your good wishes, already feeling good , just helped Gabi move the mares to a fresh pasture as they trashed the small paddock last night after the rain. I can categorically say there will be no mountain climbing during my lifetime, never appealed to me, I am quite capable of falling off smaller items. It was an NHS opp hence the two year wait. Agree about the Welsh hills
knackering strengthening the legs, there is some flat land in Wales but I forget which museum has it. :innocent:
-
wishing you a speedy recovery Doug… :thumbsup:
-
All these images of Tiz frollicking with lambs.... :o with his wings on .. ;D
Good to speak to you earlier in the week Doug, you sound so much better in yourself. Really, really pleased its all over now xxx
-
Tell us how you go Tiz - oh and the colour of your bruises :D :hug:
-
Speedy recovery :)
-
Well , the district nurse came this morning :o ( stop sniggering at the back) to change my dressings. and she decided it was looking so good that no further dressings were necessary, and if I keep having a few small walkabouts everyday then I can do without the pressure stockings, ;D . so it's all good news.
Thanks for all your good wishes ,I appreciate them.
-
How did you frighten the district nurse away so quickly? On second thoughts....don't answer that :roflanim:
Glad you are on the mend ( guessing the nurse was :relief: too ).
-
Good news to hear Tiz ,
Did you have to have anti clotting treatments prior & after the op ?
Bells rang for me when you mentioned pneumonia ... I still trying to get a life back using warfarin to stop blood clots after a recent blood clot broke away from my groin and reached my lungs .
-
Good to hear of positives following these ops. :thumbsup:
Unfortunately, I know of of two people who weren't so lucky. :(
-
Is that those injections in the tummy?
I asked the nurses in the hospital if it was the same as injecting sheep. If it was I'd be okay. She looked a little :o. Told them that my daughter could administer if need be. Daughter said she wasn't doing them cause sheep were okay to do as they didn't moan. ...... Moan ..... me??????? ........ Never. ;D
-
Yes , the anticlotting injections were on while in hospital, now on Rivaroxaban 10ml for a 35 day coarse. they have moved away from wharfarin these days. the only tabs I take now are Amlodipine for my BP and the rivaroxaban , I don't need the painkillers at all for the first time in 2 years such a relief :relief:
-
That's good news.
