Re: Actually looking forward to LTHR surgery!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy

Hang on in there- not too much longer now. I am 6 weeks post op LTHR

today and I can't believe how far I've come since my op. It's hard

to imagine what life will be like isn't it? I can remember reading

the post op postings with envy and now here I am 6 weeks after the

event. I have been cleared to use 1 crutch this week which has given

me a free hand and so I can begin to do some normal stuff again! I

can rotate my hip left hip in so that I can reach down the outside

of my leg and get my shoe on. I hadn't been able to rotate my hip

inwards pre op and so when I shaved my legs yesterday, I saw the

back of my left calf for the first time in ages!!!

Life is returning! I look forward to hearing about your progress

All the best

Lesley
