I found your blog about 6 weeks a...Hey there Sarah. I found your blog about 6 weeks ago, just a few days before I went in for my own THR (left hip). I've been meaning to post something here ever since, but kept getting distracted. :) <br /><br />I'm 35, and this is my third hip surgery in total (first one was when I was 2, second one was an arthroscopy just over a year ago). Your posts have made me laugh and cry (mostly both at the same time), because I can relate. Oh how I can relate. I was allowed to get rid of my compression stockings on Wednesday, after my 5-week follow-up, and when the doctor told me this I actually squealed out loud. In front of a packed waiting room. They all looked at me a bit strangely, but I didn't care. I had to stop myself from bursting out into something from The Sound of Music. Those stockings are the worst part of the whole freakin' experience, right?<br /><br />Anyhow, everything's healed up well and I've been off crutches completely for 3 days now. For the first 20 minutes after I put the crutch down, I just walked up and down the passage sobbing. I can't believe I'm getting my life back. I can't believe I can walk without limping. It's all still a little surreal.<br /><br />Sounds like you've had a really rough time over the past few years. Hang in there, not much longer now. :)Kerry-Annehttp://twitter.com/kerry_annenoreply@blogger.com
