Things feel back to normal. It’s great to be able to walk as far as I want, be active all day, drive long distances, lift strollers in and out of the car, cycle at the gym etc. The reality is that things are not fully healed until 3- 6 months so my operated-upon hip reminds when I’ve done too much by swelling and feeling stiff in the evening (I’m supposed to ice it but haven’t managed to do that yet). There’s only been once in the last few weeks that I’ve gone back to limping badly and that was on vacation where we drove for several hours and then walked for several more. It is definitely stiff when I’ve sat for too long and then I’m back to walking very strangely for a few moments whilst it works itself out…
After the vacation incident my family decided after the second day (this was at week 6) that I would slow everyone down too much on the third day’s visit to Busch Gardens. They rented a motorized wheel-chair for me. This of course turned out to be where all the bags were kept and also the children’s favorite ride of the day!
