My Double hip replacement blog 7

Been home for a few days, walking with two crutches.

Finding I can manage with one in the house.

Weather has been awful but managed a little trip to the coast.

It felt wonderful to be out in the fresh air.

Walked for about 20 minutes

Home for a rest- Horizontal on the bed.

It’s boring but it’s the only way to manage swelling and bruising.

Bruising is now coming out with a minimal amount of swelling.

Mr Adam Hoad Reddick has done a brilliant job for me.

I can honestly say I have no pain (I am on anti-inflammatories morning and evening and blood thinners. I will stop the morning anti inflammatory tomorrow)

I only have discomfort if I stand or sit for too long and the swelling and bruising starts to track down the leg.

It is soft tissue discomfort alleviated by resting regularly.

When sitting after hip replacement you need a high seat. Approximately 20” depending on lower leg length.

I bought a 4” cushion which means I can go out.

Height also applies to the “loo” seat. Need a raised one – what JOY😂😂
