Six weeks post op

[Ariel Badger]

Six weeks today since I had a total right hip replacement. The surgeon said it may take me six months to recover, I told him I would do it in six weeks.
Been back in school since the start of term on Monday (reduced timetable due to Nazis on local authority but I have demanded a review next Friday). I had my first post op review by the surgeon's team today and they said progress is so good they will call for me in nine months,
Physio said I was a nutter
Feeling quite chuffed

Not had a hip replacement just yet, but ive had quite a few smashed bones. Imo the more you do, the better you get overall. Physio is far too little. Ignore it and push harder

I worked out hard before the op, even though it hurt like hell, to keep my muscle groups in condition and just took up where I had left off after. Day two after release from hospital I walked two miles and built up on that daily. When physio told me to do exercises in groups of ten I did them in a hundred and used additional weights.

Well done mate. Too many people see these things as an excuse to go on the sick forever.

I told my Headteacher that I would not lose a day in front of a class, I timed the op for the start of the holiday and things worked out fine. Most of the kids have not even noticed I am no longer using a stick or that I have sandles on

To be fair, they've probably noticed your sandals but are too polite to point and giggle

I might ask you to write me a letter, explaining what you did pre-op and post-op...because one of the clients at my place is to undergo a hip replacement himself, but is very negative about it (he had a stroke at a very young age and fell over and smashed his hip). Just to see if it would inspire him any.

Do take it easy though, don't push yourself too much...remember to listen to your body...it knows best.

I will write up a word doc and email it to you. My handwriting is bloody awful, so much so that I child got a detention for forging notes when I sent her to a lesson late!
The most important thing to remember is not to listen to others when they say you can not do something, there are only two things that can prevent you doing so. The laws of physics and yourself.

You are leaving your wicket unguarded Colin but I do not have my green marking pen with me.
