I have just found out that wayne sleep has had his hip replaced, he is such an inspiration, after 6 weeks he is back dancing, I know this is very early.... apparently he had physio every day and palates...mind you he had a physio from the royal ballet(wonder what they would charge :) thought I would share this, It dose give you hope, maybe when I have mine done I will be dancing soon after, then again I couldnt dance before :lol:

    Blimey Barbara :shock:

    Mind you he must have pout some pressure on his joints over the years I expect.

    Glad to hear he is doing so well

    Love

    Hi Barbara

    Jeepers that is good. :D Nice to see that, would have been so tough for him not to be able to dance. He really must have had some good physio and support there. Gives you hope though, ta.

    I am surprised he is back dancing. I am far too apprehensive to attempt anything. I long to jump on the trampoline when I take the children most Saturdays but am relegated to spotting nowadays. It is so hearbreaking I can tell you.Good luck to him if he manages to continue but I am sure he will be severely restricted.

    Hi Elizebeth...I was shocked to hear it, who knows what damaged he could do...the right way has to be taking things slowly, you will get there in the end.

    Hi Barbara,
    I dont think I will ever get back on a trampoline.I can manage a little bit of dancing thats my lot now.There is too much weight bearing on the trampoline. My son is quite good so I enjoy watching him instead.

    What a fabulous dancer he was in his prime :!: His joints have certainly taken a battering though, as with all ballet dancers.

    In 1973, Wayne Sleep established a world record by doing an entrechat-douze - a jump with twelve beats of the feet. This record still stands to this day.

    dancers do dance in pain so he will be used to pain. but it is great to know that he is able to. it does pay to keep muscles strong and his r very strong as you have probably noticed lol
