. If I’ve sat down for a while and get a little stiff I use a stick for a few minutes. I drove my car 8 days after the op!! Going to give the weekly shop a go tomorrow and see how I do on a full circuit of Tescos.
I have no bruising at all which is amazing compared to the last hip replacement (same surgeon) and very little or no pain for days now. I’ve got go back to the hospital on Wednesday to have my stitches trimmed, dressing replaced and to see the Physio.
It’s quite remarkable how well I’m doing in such a short time.
awesome news mate... I told you you'd make the bash
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.
