It’s surprising how much your back can ache when you stand if you’ve not been doing it for some time it’s not just leg muscles that need to hold you up but it comes with practice and keep at it

I can stand for a little at the sink and with at least 1 stick but totally without support is not doable yet back muscles need to be stronger

That’s very exciting! I can imagine how wonderful it will be to be able to have 2 legs again. At least thru all my knees and hip replacements and problems I was able to walk even if sometimes not very far like now I know it will improve. Hope all goes well for you

Not if I was laid flat and didn’t move. It’s quite unusual actually but it does happen very occasionally the replacement hasn’t completely healed yet they think tho it should be ok by now

Reaching up to get washing pegged on lines in the airing cupboard. Must now be aware and have right foot straight or inwards not outwards it destabilises the joint
comment in response to
post
I’m being good and taking it slowly keeping right foot straight forward or pointing inward not out to the left which de stabilises the joint. Teaching groups was a joy! It’s the social interaction I so enjoy

Afternoon all managed to dislocate my hip replacement so been out of action for a few days in hospital but back teaching my uke groups today they keep me grounded. Lovely words from a former pupil Robin

Hopefully is the best they’ll do. In theory it can happen again but if I’m careful and aware of how I move and stand it should be ok. No guarantee it’ll be ok but they’re satisfied it’s now stable
