7 Days Post Hip Op

Well I finally feel better!!! Flare up day 4 with the PMR. Managing that with Pred. Last Friday I had horrible thoughts of living in pain and being totally dependent on others is not a life. Today I have almost achieved pain free and massively improved mobility. I can do the Physio exercises, walk like a human, get up stairs have a shower and not want to collapse in a heap afterwards. My Mam used to say "Patience is a virtue keep it if you can found seldom in a woman never in a man". Tomorrow will be better. Thanks for all of you who supported me through this. Onward and Upward.

Is Parker going to have to find a hobby now??

I have advertised his services on Facebook for March 2018. He is restricted to area though as his other job takes precedence due to him earning means he's still a useful asset. He is fully trained now and can put a quilt cover on without supervision. He has also added a medical module to his portfolio as he has to inject me each night for the next 4 weeks. Something he seems to excel at and take great pleasure in?

Must be an NVQ qualification in there somewhere.

He is a fully qualified Grumpy Troll Wrangler. I reckon that counts more.
