Morning all just dropping into keep up with all your news we had a dog called Mitch years ago I think it was a monkey on a space programme on tv a series long before star trek he was a little fox terrier

It’s surprising how much your back can ache when you stand if you’ve not been doing it for some time it’s not just leg muscles that need to hold you up but it comes with practice and keep at it
January 31, 2025 at 10:14 PM
It’s ok for the exam but I love singing in the choir best
January 31, 2025 at 6:44 PM
I can stand for a little at the sink and with at least 1 stick but totally without support is not doable yet back muscles need to be stronger

Great news! Turned into a good week for you. I had my singing lesson yesterday tho I can stand so had to sit but sorted out a few problems with the voice just more practice to get it going again HAGD all

Morning All good luck with the leg it must be very difficult to get used to but the rewards are enormous! I’m sure there will be several Internet groups you can tap into for support certainly many military in uk have experience of prosthetics The very best of lyck

I’m very tired from yesterday but all still ok with the hip so that’s a win

My Father always called me Last Minute Alice I’m the same do things when the deadline is breathing down your neck
January 29, 2025 at 11:43 AM
That’s very exciting! I can imagine how wonderful it will be to be able to have 2 legs again. At least thru all my knees and hip replacements and problems I was able to walk even if sometimes not very far like now I know it will improve. Hope all goes well for you
January 29, 2025 at 11:28 AM
Not if I was laid flat and didn’t move. It’s quite unusual actually but it does happen very occasionally the replacement hasn’t completely healed yet they think tho it should be ok by now

Reaching up to get washing pegged on lines in the airing cupboard. Must now be aware and have right foot straight or inwards not outwards it destabilises the joint
January 28, 2025 at 8:21 PM
I’m being good and taking it slowly keeping right foot straight forward or pointing inward not out to the left which de stabilises the joint. Teaching groups was a joy! It’s the social interaction I so enjoy

Afternoon all managed to dislocate my hip replacement so been out of action for a few days in hospital but back teaching my uke groups today they keep me grounded. Lovely words from a former pupil Robin
January 28, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Hopefully is the best they’ll do. In theory it can happen again but if I’m careful and aware of how I move and stand it should be ok. No guarantee it’ll be ok but they’re satisfied it’s now stable
January 24, 2025 at 11:43 PM
A very late hello from me been in hospital for four days new hip replacement dislocated so had to go in by ambulance as leg gave way completely and fell flat on floor had manipulation under general anaesthetic to put it back in now at home recovering Lovely to read your posts and catch up with life

January 10, 2025 at 9:59 AM

January 9, 2025 at 3:52 PM
