so after 3 weeks back to work, normality and a high protein low carb diet - im pleased to report ive dropped 9 lbs :) - which has been tough as i really cant do much exercise in its strictest sense - if i could have approached this and combined it with some high intensity cardio intervals etc i would have dropped double - so this week i will go back to a more normal diet split 30% protein 50% carbs and 20% fat aiming for around 1800 kcals a day cycling lower and higher kcal days - aiming to drop another 1-2lb a week and slowly add in more work on the turbo trainer and keep on walking and rehabing!
Saturday was a bit of a waste again this week as the plumber was in and around for a few hrs again and i didnt get out for much of a walk and had little if any time to do the rehab work
soooooo...... made up for it on Sunday - doubled up the rehab work and walked 3.5 miles in 1 chunk in the worst weather this year which resulted in me averaging 18 min/mile (usually around 20 min/mile) and walked again in the evening - the result? WELL my right bum cheek and groin and inner thigh are all very tender - i have no worries about this it is all muscular but it just shows that even increasing pace whilst walking can work ones muscles a whole lot harder!
today i rehabbed and walked twice - nothing too strenuous just to loosen the legs followed by a 10 min session on the turbo trainer - 4 min warm up then up to 5th/min 4th/min 3rd/min 2nd/min 1st/2 min - this was testing my legs knew id done it and i actually broke a sweat - it felt awesome!!

just keep improving (with the odd niggle?)...........
continued to have a great week - work is seeming more like the norm and less of a chore and i am starting to feel more like my "old" self or should i say my "pre pain" self?
i stuck to my plan and built the walking so my longest daily walk is 1.5 miles+ with 2 shorter 0.5 mile walks to ease the stiffness in the morning and at lunch time- it all good
ive been riding the bike on the turbo every other day and that has brought a whole different set of aches to the table!
in general i feel like im improving BUT i do have a niggle or 2 keep getting a pain or 2 in my groin and bum cheek which definitely feels muscular and a daily ache/discomfort around the scar - problem here is i struggle tell really if it is muscular or in my new joint as i have such a big numb patch around the scar
some days i think i do too much and others i feel i could run a marathon again.....but sadly those days are gone...
onwards and upwards - goals to achieve and milestones to be smashed :-)

progress, physio a whole lot of walking going on.........
after been given the go ahead to start and return to a more normal existence i have moved on this week and i am feeling a little less cripple and a lot more me!
- i dispensed with the bath board after a couple of practice runs getting in and out of the shower
-we brought the furniture in from the garage and got the house back to normal
-i returned the perching stool to the kind colleague that lent me it
-the grandad chair is history and back to its home
-and finally after my physio appointment on Friday the stick is gone!!!!
once the garage was free of furniture i spent some time on Thursday pm setting up my bike and the turbo trainer in the garage - by the time id finished i was buggered and didnt even try it!
friday am brought an early physio appointment 1st thing he told me to kick the stick into touch as long as i work hard not to limp and then a shake up of exercises which was good - for a couple of week ive felt that 3 or 4 of them were not really doing much for me as they were too easy -
-rear band raise
-side band raise
-mini squat
-stepping practice
so with those removed and the following added it is more challenging -
-pistol squats (to isolate the glutes)
-supermans (again to isolate the glutes)
-1 leg calf raises on a step/curb (changed from 2 legs)
-1 leg balancing on stability disc (change from floor exercise)
discussed with him the fact that doing the rehab stuff twice a day and walking twice a day and fitting in a full time job was leaving me shattered - he said to try and build some of the rehab work into my day (stepping up 2 stairs at a time - each time i go up stairs rather than doing as an exercise) and also to miss rehab here and there to allow my muscles to recover as the exercises are fairly advanced and amount to a body weight workout
finally he got me on the static bike and showed me how best to get on and off so i was all sett to get going at home :)
see him again in 2 week and can i get hole of an exercise ball in the meantime ready for the next stage of exercises
so Friday pm i got on to the bike ! did a massive 5 mins and got off exhausted ?? how does that work - its not the long since i rode the static bike for 40 mins at a time no problem - but itll come
Saturday was my hardest day yet - i didn't walk, bike or do my exercises - BUT i spent 5 hrs on me feet been a plumbers mate - trying to get to the bottom of why our shower is not working very well at all - definitely the hardest thing i have done pre op
Sunday was a great day - i did the rehab stuff twice as prescribed i walked round the supermarket with the family to do the "big" shop and then i walked home 3 miles all in one go! it was brill and extremely liberating i felt great :) so i got on the bike and rode 10 mins too - then i made Sunday lunch and walked the dog again - 4.5miles total furthest yet post op and a huge milestone for me
today i will mostly be resting and recovering for my next assault on the streets

6 weeks post op - follow up appointment and goal setting.......
finally
the time has come and i can stop counting the days post op -im now 6
weeks post op this is the magic number, this is the mile stone, this
is what ive been working towards..........
so
had my follow up appointment with the surgeon - for whatever reason i
was nervous! not sure why but i was bricking it - somewhere in the
back of my mind i think i thought there was going to be a sting in
the tail after everything seemed to have gone so well.....BUT no
issues, no sting in the tail - he was pleased to tell me it had gone
and was doing as well if not better than expected at this stage,
basically ive done all i can and its worked!! all the rehab work and
walking has done the trick :)
so
the burning question was do i still have to adhere to the
restrictions? the answer - no not really, dont go throwing myself
into life, break myself in gently and if it hurts stop - makes sense
really!! :)
can i
drive? yes no problem!!
is
there anything wrong with the other one? no!!
what
happens now? keep up the good work and see you in a year for a follow
up+xray!!
chuffed
with that - boy done good :)
followed
up with a nice little 1.1 mile walk Monday pm (in addition to 0.5 m
in the morning and a lunchtime stroll)
tuesday
walked 0.5m in the morning + a lunchtime stroll and followed up with
1.2 miles Tuesday pm
GOALS-
short
term
after
last returning to work last week and easing off the walking this week
i will be building it back up - ill include a lunchtime walk and try
for an evening walk of a mile+ and aim to build that to 1.5 miles
each evening and aim for longer walks sat/sun
medium
term
set
up the turbo trainer and build in some bike time to help with fitness
and build more stamina
long
term (6months-june)
this
may seem a little off the wall - but im going to walk a marathon
distance - ill eat fish and chips half way and drink some tea along
the way and it will all be very civilised but its my goal and i can
do what i want!!
long,long,long
term (september 2015)
im
going to do a 24 hr/100km challenge walk
so there you have it thats
my goals - im sure they will be tweaked along the way but thats where
im headed

Dday+39,40+41 - work, shopping and some serious walking..........
finished thursday off with a pb walk of 1.4 miles and felt good for it
friday was very much a rest day - in all senses - i went to work and did my bit (and thats all it was), i did no rehab exercise and i walked very little - may sound lazy - BUT i needed it and it set me up for a good weekend........
saturday brought a trip to clifton moor to buy new sitting arrangements - our couches are 15 yrs old and your arse just about touches the floor - thus not suitable for an old fart with a hip replacement!! - and my no 1 priority when i get the all clear is to get rid of the old man chair and sit comfortably! - so new couches bought and due in mid feb - but the bigger picture here is i managed to trail round a retail park for 3.5 hrs ! and yvette said "you weren't half as stressed with it now your hips been done...." :)
then in the afternoon i walked and i just kept going and really enjoyed it and a new pb distance 1.5 miles
all rehab work done - some in the queue at costa believe it or not :)
sunday i decided as i still felt good i would have another "good" walk - so i didnt do my rehab work early morning - i ate breakfast and took it easy then off i went - it was nowhere glamorous just a walk which ended in a 2.2 mile loop and at the end i still felt fresh - a little stiffness after a short sit down but other than that all good
rehab work done sunday evening and now parked for relax before work again tomorrow and my 6 week check up late afternoon......

Dday+37 and 38 - work, rest and no energy for play..........
Wednesday was marginally better i wasn't as tired at work but i had skipped my rehab stuff in the morning? i just walked to get rid of the stiffness and then cracked on at work and walked and did my rehab stuff late afternoon - and i did feel much better and also slept much better too so i guess despite the sheer exhaustion it is coming and it is getting better.......
today i started early with a shorter walk and did the full set of rehab exercises - i didnt feel too bad and once again had a reasonable day until about 2pm i was full of energy and actually enjoying work :) - then i hit the theoretical "wall" and felt like i had run a marathon (and i know what that feels like) - so i struggled through to the end of work and went home head hung low - BUT not one to be beaten i went out for a little walk to stretch the stiffness out and as i walked i felt better and better and ended up walking my furthest yet !! 1.4 miles in one chunk - so happy - back home cup of tea, rest for a bit then put dinner on and did my 2nd rehab session of the day and now im resting again!!
i think if i really put my mind to it and the effort in i can find a balance and get through the days - just gotta think about it rather than ploughing on regardless
thats it sng

Dday+36 - work again!
much the same as monday on all fronts......
up early walked 0.7 miles to loosen things up
breakfast
work
get a bit more up to speed read more emails :(
home
exercises
walk 0.75 miles
only thing i did different was also do my rehab stuff before work....
not sure if thats what tipped the balance of if it was the culmination of the 2 days - BUT i was absolutely goosed - by early evening i couldnt even walk without a limp and it wasnt pain as i had no pain so it must just have been exhaustion??
so i say in the chair and got stiff then walked a bit and rinse and repeat and then went to bed to have one of the most restless nights i think i have ever had!! not sure what went wrong but i hope today is better
ill cut the walk a bit and give the rehab stuff a miss before work and see where that leaves me tonight!

Dday+35 - back to work..........
was it as tough as i thought?? YES..........
got up in decent time so i had no rushing around etc and time for a walk - needed to walk to get rid of the stiffness before i wen to work and sat at my desk - so walked 0.7 miles, breakfast, shower and then got collected..........
once at work it was just endless people coming in and talking to me! this i found the hardest part - for 5 week since my op i have socialized with my family and closest friends who to be fair have respected how i was feeling and we have all got along just fine - this bombardment of folks and questions and and and...........arrrghhh - found it tough repeating my story over and over and taking in lots and lots of info (all relevant to my job and needed) in such a short time - by mid morning i really just wanted to lock my door, turn the light off and hide under the desk - BUT I CANT BEND PAST 90 degrees - so had to carry on regardless :)
by mid afternoon the continual talking/questioning died down and i could settle in and do some work which was nice to exercise the grey matter.....
mistakes i made -
should have got up and walked about more early in the day
should have got a 2nd toilet seat raiser
should have sent a round robin email detailing my op, recovery and needs going forward then i wouldn't have had to repeat them 20 times :)
left work 345 and home for 4 so not too long a day - got in and did rehab exercises and then another short walk (0.75 miles)....
ate dinner then sat like a zombie in the chair all evening - absolutely shattered is an understatement
so the plus side to returning to work -
no day time tv
no restlessness and boedom to cope with
felt useful for the 1st time in a while
and get this 1 - I SLEPT AROUND 5 HRS CONTINUOUSLY !!!!!
only downside is i have to do it all again tomorrow.........

Dday+33 - Rehab, walking and fish and chips to follow......
spent a full hour this morning doing my rehab work cant believe how long it takes now to fit all the exercises in!
the new exercise are tough especially stepping up and down 2 steps at once so started with 3 sets 5 - my beam end was wrecked when id finished :)
the one legged mini squats again are tough but necessary so hey ho....
the stepping practice with a pause is ok but difficult for my balance so did next to work top in case :(
all this followed up with a 1.3 mile walk - furthest yet but felt good - walked in proper shoes (rather than slips that ive lived in for the last month) which helped with the other aches and pains ive been getting
still to come another walk, maybe some weights (not likely but never say never?) and then out for fish and chip tea with my family for mums birthday

Dday+32 - Physio, walking and feeling good......
The day started early with an 8 am physio appointment - I demonstrated my walking with and without crutches and he decided as long as I work hard at it I don't need my sticks in the house at all and really only need 1 when I'm out walking (unless the weather/conditions dictate otherwise) also went through exercises and gave some new ones as follows -
Stand on op leg and step back and forward with brief pause mid step 3 x 10 back/forward
Stand on op leg with support and do mini squat 3 x 5
Step up 2 steps and back down with op leg 3 x 5 up/down
Stand on op leg and step back and forward with brief pause mid step 3 x 10 back/forward
Stand on op leg with support and do mini squat 3 x 5
Step up 2 steps and back down with op leg 3 x 5 up/down
Also modify the bridges and use 70% op leg 30% non op leg
Finally gave a deep tissue massage around the scar to try and move some "thickness"
So all in all very pleased with the visit - one stick down on to go!!
All rehab work done once today
Walked 1.1 mile am + 0.9 mile pm = 2 miles :) :)

Dday+31 - walking and keeping busy, practising for Monday!......
so finished day 30 as i started it with a 2nd 1.1 mile walk - which left me tired and sluggish this morning......

made chilli to go in slow cooker
walked 1.1 miles
all rehab work done
shower
vegatables prepared for dinner
lunch
rest/read for an hr
handmade bread
washed up
and still left to do......

not looking forward to it in the slightest and to be fair scared as hell but come monday off i go back to work :(

Dday+30 - Happy new year - walking, eating and goal setting............
so
feeling a little fuggy this morning despite only having a few to see
the new year in! so it was a slow start but eventually got out the
door in the pouring rain accompanied by oliver on his bike and with
my shiny new pedometer in my pocket.......
set
the pedometer up with the following -
14st10/206lbs
weight
27"
stride length - average over 5 strides
measured
the route online before setting off and it gave a reading of
1.13miles - pedometer suggested 2750 steps and 1.18miles - so not a
million miles away - i am suspicious that it is recording the
odd down stroke from my sticks!! i have downloaded a pedo
app for my phone and will do some comparisons over the next few days
and see how online measurement, pedometer and app compare......
as
for the rest of the morning? well that was spent drinking hot
chocolate and eating shortbread/quality street with my big boy!
goals
for 2014............
walk
without sticks or a limp!
cycle
indoors initially then get on the road again
lift
some iron - and enjoy it
loose
some weight and give this new joint a chance.............seen as it
is giving me a huge chance to get my life back.....
