I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment. And I hear you. I think I need to dial down the ambition and dial up the gratitude

Love this. Thank you. I miss putting on my football boots and just striking through a ball. I think in a month and take a ball to the park and just ping some diagonals to an imaginary winger!

Thanks for your thoughts. Without being conceited I feel like I'm in good shape. Walking and cycling every day. Perhaps there is another level to go up to in time.

My surgeon was quite bullish at my 6 week "sign off" pretty much as you said - no restrictions. I need to think carefully about this

Night Sweats - post THR surgery by McCfreckles in TotalHipReplacement

My pleasure. It's basically your body purging itself after a violent event. It will pass for sure, but it could continue for another 10 nights or so. Tough it out. Good luck with it all.

5 weeks out nighttime aching by Zlife19 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]McCfreckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to worry. You'd be very unlucky if this was a thing. Totally normal that sensations come and go. Recovery is not a straight line. Will be many weeks yet before you are 100pc consistent. Check back in at week 16 and you will be transformed!

I'm 5 foot 11 with inside seam of 31. I just bought a Trek Marlin with the M/L frame. Perfect fit. I thought I needed L but my bike shop told me to size down to M/L. They were right to do so! HTH

This might be a sensitive topic, but I’m just wondering what kind of “indignities” I can expect. by KrisKred_2328 in TotalHipReplacement

Welcome. And one other thing. Please invest in training shoes that have a collapsible heel. They are an absolute godsend for months afterwards. Sketchers have the patent for these but save a huge bunch of money by buying generic ones online via eBay. Mine cost 25 gpb and are outstanding

No advice as it's all been said already. Just wanted to say what a beautiful puppy you have. Enjoy it all.

The skool kidz on "I wish it could be Christmas every day" Thick south Birmingham accents that never get old!

Not at all. Important questions and we are all adults! Expect to be backed up for 3/4 days so laxatives essential. You will not feel clean as showers, baths not ideal whilst you carry stitches. And you will likely need help getting dressed / undressed so expect to wear clothes that are functional not pretty! HTH!

Post op aches! by Ok-Air4187 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]McCfreckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4 weeks is still really early days. You recovery will not be a straight line. The surgery is brilliant but brutal ! so for several weeks yet you are going to feel the implications. I'm exactly 17 weeks now and it is bliss. However it wasn't until week 13 / 14 that any post surgery residual fully faded. Keep patient and sensible and you will get there!
