Re: Another silly question. Can we lie on the floor?

[Guest guest]

Hi Stan,

My Dr said it was no no but I had my operation five years ago Maybe now days they use a better hip replacement I think you should asked your Dr or your PT .

I have to tell you I Moved six months after my Hip replacement that was five years ago and I didn't have a phone and I trip on one of the boxes I sort of slid to the floor I didn't fall hard but I was on the floor and I wastn't too far from my computer table so I used my good leg to moved to my computer table it was one of those big ones I pulled myself up with my good leg I was lucky I was ok but that was the only time and the last time I was on the floor .LOL LOL so its up to you .Well you take care.

Hi Tre:

I think that you related the challenge--getting up. I hadn't really

thought that through, I must admit. I said to myself, " Myself, I get

out of bed relatively easily after having lay on my back all night,

so why not...

However, when lying on the floor, when cannot merely swing her or

his legs over the side, especially if there's no side to swing your

legs over.

I'm glad that I didn't try it before asking. I might still be lying

there like a giant tortise on her back!

Anyone else out their in hippieville who has lain (laid?) (loud?)

(land?) on her or his back? Maybe there is someone, but she may

still be trying to get up!!

(Why she? Why not?)

This is actually one of the things a therapist will often teach a patient. I often teach a patient with poor balance how to get up from the floor, but for some reason it never occurred to me to teach a post op hip patient to do that. Strange.....as they too could fall and need to know what to do.

Getting up is the hard part. The only time I got stuck was with a

scuba tank on my back! I did feel like a turtle. That is before the

replacements, but with bad hips and shoulders.

Don't try it now. It is much too soon for you post op. We don't

want you dislocated on the floor. Now I understand that old TV ad

about the lady " help I have fallen and I can't get up " .

So is boredom setting in? I am ready to do something other that

waiting for the hip to heal. Just have not figured out what that is.

You asked if boredom is beginning to set in? If you are talking

about me, you gotta be kidding. I never get bored. My days are

rushing by. I drove to a hypermarché today to get a product serviced

and do some shopping, I went swimming, I took my dog for two walks,

I picked some plums off a tree, and then I returned to my surgeon to

have him reinstall my faux hip.

I tend to overdo things. Only time will tell us if I'm doing it now.

I don't feel as though I am, but I normally keep busy.

Now, since it's 11 PM in paradise, I'm going to go to bed and watch

a couple of old " Friends " episodes that I've never seen.

Ciao

Stan

You must live in a town, no? I am out in the country and town is 15

minutes away on a highway with contruction. So now it takes 45

minutes. There is no place to swim that is replacement friendly. I

have both hips and shoulders replaced, so I have to be more careful

or I will hurt myself.

Glad you are keeping busy. I have been discharged from home PT and

hopefully will start out patient next week.

Take care.

Hi Sue,

Are you saying that you had both Hips and Shoulders replace ? That seems like a lot you went though .I had my right Hip and Knee replacement done but I have Arthristis in my left Hip and Knee and my feet and I have Arthritis in my right shoulder . My regular Dr check my right shoulder and told me not to get it replace I wish he would have said that about my right Hip that bothers me more the my knee replacement.

Well you take care. juneflower60 or SusieSue <Suzeegrape@...> wrote:

Sue, you asked: > You must live in a town, no?

No, Sue, I don't. I live in a country setting about 10 minutes by

car to a small village. I'm amazed. The small village near my house

has four PTs practicing in it.

I have several neighbors with swimming pools. Also, almost every

town around here has public swimming pools, such as in Vence, Colle

sur Loup, Valbonne, etc.
