Oh Tones
You are a love to post this, I need all the encouragement I can get, I have to have them both done.
Its partly down to me being scared and partly because they say I might not be any less in pain because of my back
But I have watched your post from the very start and you are an inspiration.
So A big Thankyou.

Hi there,

that is really good to hear for me as I am now 8 weeks post THR . So glad that you are doing things like that. Not that I will be shovelling or anythink. But thanks for your post.

Congrats Tonysp. Why were you wheeling all that gravel about?

Joan - 16 years old, that is good, what type was it? My left THR is now 14 years old. Hoping it lasts until I breathe my last!!

Hi Tone,

That's a brilliant post It will help others to know there are real benefits and help make it less scary.

Hey you want to do some more barrowing...... Cris x

Hi, It's really great to hear how well you are doing! I'm not on the waiting list, but I know I'd worry about how mobile I'd be and how strong the hip is. I'm sure you will help people who are waiting for this op. Don't do your back in with too much barrowing, though! :shock: Love Sue

I'm another one who had awful back pain before
a THR 18 months ago, and now I dont have much
back pain at all, and considering that I have protruding
discs and a small fracture in my back, well, thats not so bad at all eh?

So try not to worry too much Barbara.

Thanks Helena x I am new to all this and would like to ask what pocket duty is xx

hileena111

Sorry about that Someone going to the docs or the hospital or for an MRI anything like that....wears something with big big pockets and we all cram into them to be with you and give you support.....usually bringing smelly egg sandwiches {yukkkk!!!!!} and much nicer things Jammy dodgers, cake, fizzy pop all sorts....no doubt someone else will come on and add to this.......Pockets are usually full of crumbs afterwards

Love
Hileena

Hi Julie, this was such a wonderful post for me to read and I think I will settle for getting on with housework and stuff and not pushing barrows etc.

Love Jean x
