THR - 1 year anniversary :)

One year ago today, on November 26th 2009... this was what I had done on my right hip
Three months ago, on August 26th 2010... this was what I had done on my left hip

I cannot even being to describe what the last year has been like... but if I can choose just one word, it would be AMAZING ...... the good, the bad, trails, complications, recuperation, rehabilitation, joys, sorrows, milestones, achievements, discoveries, mobilities, abilities, loves... the pain........ and the lack of pain... It's just all been Amazing... truly, amazing!!!

Thank you everyone and everything!

1 week later

One week post THR surgery ... I can honestly say my recuperation thus far has been so much better than the last time around (10 months ago). So much I can say and I'm thinking that maybe I should document it... 


For now though... I've been surviving on bouts of 2 to 3 hours of sleep for the last week. No more nice solid 8 to 10 hours of sweet slumber. Gonna see if I can get a little nap and maybe I would come back and write some more... maybe...


Now would be a good time for my pending a/c unit to miraculously appear though

THR vs RA

So this is rare and not very often I would taint my abstract streak to delve into personal matters as such, but here I am... and here it goes...

How do I find the balance?
I'm trying to find the balance between being a good THR patient and a good RA patient. Quite an unorthodox case for rehab the therapist told me... it's always that fine line I keep treading on.

Therapy is awesome! It hurts and it feels good. It gets me so snappy but so happy... wow, ok I didn't mean for that to rhyme, but it did!

I've neglected being a good RA patient in light of the THR rehab... and sadly that can boomerang on me if I don't get a grip on things now.

Thankfully, I got my grip! =)
