Wow, you have been in the wars lassie. I don't suppose you have or can borrow a reclining chair, but that was what I found the most comfortable resting place after my hip ops. It doubles as a bed as well as a comfy chair.
Keep on keeping on, it will mend eventually, you just need to grit your teeth and not let it get you down too much.

OUCH! Ditto what John said.

Oh... "I actually looked forward to hospital food"

Well, you were in France eh? Would madam like white or red grape juice with le petit dejeuner?

Just in case any of you lovely Catters are interested, I saw a fracture specialist at our local hospital on Friday. I was rather hoping he would tell me that the French were being over cautious and that I could actually put weight on the leg and start walking again.

Alas, he told me that the hip was in FOUR fragments (I never do things by half!) and that it would probably take 3 months for the bones to knit together. I have another appointment in 4 weeks time when they will x-ray again and, of course, I'm hoping the news will be better.

I know I'm healing as I can feel a big difference on a daily basis.

ZM... can feel a big difference on a daily basis

Great news!

And, I was in France a number of times, from 0 to 3 years of age. Dad was RCAF, stationed in Germany.

Not the dream trip to France one hopes for, was it? And what a trip home! Take care, move slowly, mind the gaps, and listen to your doctors!

UPDATE:

After 4 very long months I've been told today that I can try to go upstairs. No more sleeping on the settee for me. Yippppeeee.

I can walk with a zimmer frame to the downstairs loo and out to the car but that has been a fight. I'm glad I didn't know just how long it was going to take right at the beginning. Most journeys are still in a wheelchair. Never mind, still hoping to be on my feet by Bedworth.

Incidentally I have lost 2.5 inches on my left side. Anyone got an idea how to

Thanks for all the emails etc.

"Incidentally I have lost 2.5 inches on my left side. Anyone got an idea how to "

Well I've received a lot of Spam over the years on haw to add extra inches, but I don't think it was to as specific a place as that ....
