Hip replacement operation now scheduled

lacplesis

23 November. Right hip replacement. After 10 years of deterioration, it’s finally about to arrive. I hope in 4 months I’ll no longer be doing a couple of miles “jobbling” (jogging mostly hobbling) at snail’s pace and be able to get back to running through the local woods and fields without pain and at a pace which allows me to overtake dog walkers, rather than them overtaking me.

I doubt I’ll run  beyond 10K, but being able to do that again will be wonderfully satisfying.

      Your jobbling days will be over.:). The hardest part will be trying not to do too much too soon! :). Stay optimistic through the early recovery days!

      Please keep us informed as to progress. I know everyone heals differently, but with my THR scheduled in April am interested in how you progress.

      I’m sure you won’t regret it. I waited over 10 years to have mine done and I wish I did it sooner. However the technology has definitely improved so maybe it’s worth it. I had mine done almost 8 years ago and had no plans to run anything other than for fun, you never know what’s going to happen. Listen to your body, cross/strength train and you should do great. Good luck.

      You will be fine, listen to the doctor, go to out patient therapy and do not over do it. I had both hips done three ago and feel great. I only started running again this past April and did my first 5K in June. Listen to your body it will tell you if you are over doing it.

      Good luck
