Well not quite!! Mum felt up to doing her usual trip to Horbury shopping this morning, chauffeur driven of course. Using the trolley to lean on instead of her sticks she went round the COOP looking for bargains and then made it to the green grocers and butchers. Not bad as it is only one week and a day since her operation. She took it fairly easy for the rest of the day with a bit of light pottering around in the afternoon including a masterclass in making cauliflower, broccoli and stilton soup and walking with her sticks in the correct way as instructed by the Physio – her coordination seems to be improving! The day ended with a fish and chip supper and some Friday night TV.
Amazing progress considering surgery was only 9 days ago….hard to believe she has already made a trip to the store. Thanks for the updates Susie….one question how does her hip pain feel as compared to before? Or is it too early to tell?

Hi Sherri,
It’s still painful but a different kind of pain! It’s getting easier day by day and hopefully will go completely. I’ve been able to cut down on the pain killers, so that’s good.
Okay, makes sense, it is going to take time. Thanks, Susie.
