Covid -19 ~ Week Eighty Five

I’m forever grateful to be offered to go on holiday with my eldest daughter and her husband, and daughter. So me and Mr Moon are off to a place we’ve never been before. Northumberland.

A lodge that has No WIFI or network coverage, so that means no podcasts for me unless I download first lol. And some stunning scenery to soak up and distract us, as honestly it’s been hard going lately (grief just sneaks up on you and pokes the bear all the time) so distraction and occupying ourselves is what is helping at the moment.

So for 5 glorious days this will be home.

Hoping to get some physio walks in, find some waterfalls and just ground ourselves with some big skies, stargazing and earth energies. I’ve bought some new walking boots especially for this. And I’m aiming to get to use a walking stick rather than crutch. Fingers crossed.

Pink to match my hair!!

While I’ve been recovering from this Hip replacement, I’ve been digging into my older posts, more specifically ones that are the same weeks post op as I am now, to compare the sides.

And the one thing that shocked me, was I wasn’t as good as I thought. Somehow I’d had rose tinted specs on, and thought the first hip replacement was just magic from day one. Reading back from Jan 2019 actually made me feel better, as I now realise I had issues with swelling, and pain, and stamina as I do now.

Here’s a good link to does size matter on your hip replacement components if you are interested, it explains the reasons for the size of stems and ball parts. https://debbiehipster.wordpress.com/2019/04/18/day-97-does-size-matter-hipreplacement/

So skipping into 13 weeks post hip replacement, I’m feeling a lot more confident about this recovery. I had been feeling so down and depressed about it all.

Started some side lunges 10reps both sides.
Started Monster walks with a resistant band 10 reps each side.

Hopefully this week we’ve been away in a lodge with walks planned, so if all goes well you will see these posts in the following week.
