Its only just been very recently that I have had easy mobility in the second hip done back in August.
It feels great now - haven't felt painless walking for don't know how many yrs .  :)

Op plus 3weeks

Just been for a 1km walk - on 2 crutches for balance.  Only just one at home.  All good - hope to be confident to drop them soon.

Will stop all the pain relief in another week.

Op plus 12

Beginning to feel a new sense of excitement about the new life I have been given.

Unless you've been through it - its a very different thing to understand - the energy draining and real effect on mental health generally of bilateral dysplasia and the associated pain.....but now a new full live with all sorts of things to share with my family.

As for the recovery process - I still aim to lose the crutches at week 3 - another week and a bit

Op plus 6days

Been pushing it a bit too hard and been paying with pain.  Need to relax slow down and take it easy.
Bit more bruising than last time but still not much.
Plan is to be walking with aids on week 3
