11 weeks and its becoming more of a memory.....

...and less of an obsession.

since the 27th September 2013 (the day i scheduled my operation) i have been totally wrapped up in it and everything that's gone with it-
 first it was the pre op physio/exercise - i threw myself at it and got myself into the best shape i could with limited ability and range of movement
second came the 2 week period before the op when i totally threw myself at getting my head, my family and my house and life ready for the op - it was a success the kids saw Santa and the panto and my lovely wife and i dined out and the furniture was moved and prepared and a program put in place for work
thirdly came the op its self and the 2 weeks following - again a resounding success but time i spent totally wrapped up in the moment and ignoring everything around me and concentrating on getting through
fourth came the physio/rehab work and for a full 7 weeks i through myself at this like a man possessed and im pleased to say the work was worth it
finally the last two weeks again have been all about me its also been the most difficult time - life is rapidly getting back to normal and my attachment to the whole new hip thing has to give way - but its been EVERYTHING, ALL ENCOMPASSING FOR SO LONG ITS HARD NOT TO THINK OF IT AND TALK ABOUT IT.....
but every day i think of it less i cant remember the last time  i considered it whilst doing the day to day stuff - getting out of bed, standing from a chair, walking the dog - i could go on....

so what has been a 5 month obsession preceded by 3 years of agony is finally becoming a memory.......

oh yes the boy is back in town!
