New hip
heliwilly:
Hi Moorey,
As far as I know it was the normal procedure for a hip replacement. top of femur removed, new ball fitted with spike into femur. socket reamed out and a new one fitted. I had an epidural and a general anesthetic, and found that by the time the epidural wore off the op site just ached rather than being painful. It is surprising, as you have found out, what a difference a day makes.
Keep up the good work and have a great Christmas and New Year.

Week 4 Update a bit of a knock back. My wound didn't heal fully and has been weeping constantly and I ended up with it infected. This didn't come as any real surprise as my immune system is pretty shite due to me having chronic lymphatic leukemia. The plus side is I now recognise very early when I have a infection starting and can do something about it in its very early stages and seek treatment. It's now healed on the surface and the infection cleared up. I saw the consultant yesterday and all is good. Looking forward to spring and a certain 350, it should be a little lighter than the 750. Onwards with the exercises. :)

Great to hear you are recovering well.. even with the setback.
I know what Leukaemia can do to you in terms of loss of strength, tiredness etc as my 30 year old son has had ALL for the last 6 years.. he has had pretty much every treatment including Bone Marrow Transplant (failed after 6 months) and then 3 months ago he had CAR-T cell infusion on a Clinical Trial here in Sydney... We have been through the highs and lows with him so Sir... my hat goes off to you and may your health only improve so you can get back onto that 350 for starters :)
Moorey:
Thanks it's not always a barrel of laughs but there are no other options than to fight. Give my best to your lad I am now heading to year 8. I too volunteered to go on the ARCTIC Trial for CLL and the 100,000 Genomes Study England. In the belief the more people keeping a eye on my bloods the better.
Moorey:
Week 10. Its a absolute gem of a day especially for Feb and I have just been out for my first ride of 2019.
Its more comfortable than driving the car. ;D
