Hi
My neighbour, nearly 80, had a hip replacement last November and is now back with sheep, 20 odd collies and ponies. Chopping wood and all the rest.
Another lady from a local farming family,in her 60,s, fell and had a replacement last summer. She was back to nightime lambing shift this spring ... over 1,700 ewes. She said it was taking her a bit longer to climb the hurdles around the pens!
I had an accident and broke my hip last November. They managed to pin it and virtually back to normal now. I think they said there was more muscle and nerve damage when pinning and it has taken time for those to recover but keeping my fingers crossed that I don't need a replacement in the near future.
Takes a bit of time as Tizz says but
she'll be helping you again soon.
