Hi Kathrine  I hope all is going well and you are up and around.I have been thinking about you it’s a big op but there is a lot of supports out there don’t let it define you.I have a very active life I ride my bike most days as  I walk with crutches full time now I found that I could get fold up crutches that go into my basket and away I go .I have many different coloured light weight crutches no heavy grey crutches  for me..I have travelled swam done more of what I did before my surgery 27.5 years ago.I wasn’t a swimmer before surgery but I found it was something that is very relaxing  and great way to keep fit plus good way to meet people in the pool butI did have to make a couple changes to my strokes.My lovely surgeon when I come into his room if I am not in riding clothes he wants to know why I am not on my bike he has been so supportive and will take as much time  to make sure I am happy with what is happening.Kathrine I would love to know how you are. I am in Melbourne Cheers Heather. ... View more
