Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi all, Well it's been awhile since I have come on to this group. Life has been busy, I'm thankful for the good and sometimes overwhelmed by the not so good....but I guess that's life. Looking at this list there are so many new people and new lives touched by new starts that it's a little overwhelming. Some of you may remember me, two years post op, construction site supervisor and horse farmer. Back in the saddle 4 months post op, back on site 3 months post op. Found it hard to regain the full momentum of my life since....other hip is breaking down and some sciatic issues the new one. I live in Ottawa Canada and this year I have found the cold overwhelming. I have made some changes, now work at Home Depot at the PRO desk so I am no longer climbing around construction sites, this is good. Regular pay cheque and a medical plan....reassuring. I am have problems on really cold days with my operated hip locking up. It is strange, I can't decide if it is something wrong with the sciatic nerve, a ligament issue or if my new hip is malfunctioning. I think I now know what an old car feels like when it's cold out. Is it possible for the prothesis to get sticky when it's cold.....it snaps when its cold.....it's not an issue when I am dressed in snow pants, however I can't wear them to work. I wonder if I am going nuts...anyone else out there in the " sticky " cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
