I am revisiting this site but the whole Hip Op thing feels like a distant memory now. Im bushwalking. Im dancing. I can even put on my left sock. Still a bit stiff getting down low and getting off the floor, or climbing a big step or a log in the bush, but generally Im good. So glad not to be in pain and debilitated as I was for months before the Op. Thank medical advancements for this new lease on life.
