Just started Week 5 post hip replacement and I've been painkiller free for 4 days now (yay).
We should never take walking normally and pain free for granted. It's a privilege every day.
I'll never not be grateful for it, each and every day.

it's been a hot minute, Bluesky... I had hip replacement surgery on my right hip two weeks ago and just got home from rehab yesterday. Recovering at home for the next few weeks.
Doing very well so far. Went from a walking frame to one crutch on Day 4. Started walking without the crutch on Day 7

Booked in to have my hip replacement surgery in September. Navigating the logistics of ensuring good respite care for mum and equally good care for my cat babies while I'm in hospital and early rehab phase has been exhausting.
My anxiety: "This is what I'm made for" 🤦♀️

So I was right...the pain I've had in my hamstring for the past four weeks is a hamstring strain lol.
It's really messed up my training in the last month but i have a plan to move forward and allow me to train without aggravating it. Praying it will settle down soon.
I miss deadlifts!

So, OK, the highlighted islands are uninhabited except for some native wildlife. The only access to these islands is by sea from Australia. You can't even access by air.
This is what happens when you have complete idiots in charge.

Dutton unveils gas reservation scheme and vows to sack 41,000 public service workers in budget reply

Peter Dutton has vowed to establish an east coast gas reservation scheme to lower power prices and sack all 41,000 federal public servants hired under Anthony Albanese if he wins an election billed as a “sliding doors moment” for the nation.
The opposition leader used his budget reply speech on Thursday night to claim Australia’s prosperity would be “damaged for decades” if Labor was returned to power. Continue reading...

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity - Jimmy Carter

Pay attention @royalsociety.org - stop trying to gaslight us by pretending our concern for science and ethics can be dismissed as ‘political’
A scientists job is to present facts-even unpopular facts. Standing up for ‘facts’ is our job-not to be confused with politics. Just because a political movement supports or rejects certain facts doesn’t make scientists political when we reaffirm the facts. Ousting Musk is standing up for ‘facts’.

But, holy hell ... thoughts and prayers, America...
By voting to confirm RFK Jr., the Senate “is wagering the future of our public health system on a prayer that a conspiracy theorist can build back up the agencies that he and his supporters have spent years breaking down,” Nicholas Florko writes.
RFK Jr. Won. Now What?
America’s health is in the hands of an anti-vaccine conspiracist.
