Get well soon Froudy, I'm sure you will quickly be back to normal.

i do hope not as i don't think any of us are normal lol
back to his old self would be just fine i think.
if owt like big geordi maybe a tad faster due to a lightweight hip too.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys..It's a bit easier today

Grog..Your mate HAS been through the mill this hear for surgery

One of the nurses in hospital said that I'd be dancing again in no time..I said that this would be a bonus, as I couldn't dance before the operation

Hope all is well Froudy,not liking the sound of pain killers I didn't take any after leaving the Hospital u will find ways of doing various things good luck to ya!! If your end result is anything like mine its well worth everything

You must have a very high pain threshold Big Geordie.
I'm nearly two weeks post op now and I'm taking max dosage of Codeine and Paracetemol..It's still very feckin' sore.

Got my first physio appointment at 13:30 today..It's going to be fun and games just getting in the car to get there. Tried it once already and thought I'd dislocated the hip joint..I didn't half swear a lot

[grog]

youre lucky mate, my mate wasnt allowed in car for 10 weeks. he was stuck home all that time.

[froudy]

That would drive me insane Grog, being cooped up in the house that long 

I had physio yesterday which went ok. I'm now only using one crutch to hobble around the house. Everything is just such hard bloody work though..Getting dressed etc.
The joint totally seizes up overnight and it takes a while for me to get mobile when I wake up. I guess it's early days though and it'll improve with time.

you will be all good. mate has now gone on 2 th k caravan trip. no probs he told me. my hips often seize up/ huge pain on bike. legs fwd wuold be good but ill give up riding before i buy a harley. my mates rocket has legs fwd, unreal bike, but just too heavy. i love that bike. except for parking and tyre wear, id have one tomorrow. replace the scrape bolts with titanium, you should see the white sparks, 10m long. looks amazing.
