    Hiya ikey :D

    Pleased to hear progress is going well for you and you have no pain. :D

    Fabtastic that you have no pain. That was the idea, wasn't it? :wink:

    Take care, you will be driving soon,

    Luv

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi JK
    Sounds pretty good for 5 weeks! I am impressed.
    You will be seeing the specialist again soon then? With any luck you might be given permission to drive again :wink:
    Well done

    Onwards and upwards - it sounds great - enjoy getting used to no pain, don't worry about it :shock: this is what's meant to happen.

    As Sue says try not to do too much.

    Luv Legs :D
    Love, Legs x

    Hello
    I'm glad you're feeling ok. Some of us who haven't as yet had ops are probably anxious/terrified!!! You must be so pleased not to have to suffer. I'm seeing the specialist on 29 September and I'm praying that he'll set an op date for me .... but also I'm nervous! I'm sure these guys do hundreds of these ops a year and are experts.

    Women seem to have more thr/tkr ops than our male counterparts. I wonder why? Are we weakened by too many years of housework and childbearing/worry etc? Maybe our bone density is not as good as our menfolk???

    I hope you continue to get stronger and more confident with the knee hip. It's lovely to hear some good news.

    Take care.
    Sharmaine
