happy healthy hippy
A blog following my Triple Pelvic Osteotomy in January 2016
I've survived two weeks at work of half days and a third week with some full days... which was a bit of a shock to the system! Everyone has been lovely and understanding so I do feel well supported. Going back to a more senior position has been a bit overwhelming as its not just the transition of getting back into work, I'm learning a new role at the same time.
My hip has not given me much discomfort. However, I still don't feel I am walking right. In fact, some days I think my walking pattern is getting worse as I feel I'm subtly leaning over to my left/good side and my right leg is being dragged along! It just doesn't feel natural yet. Perhaps I'm trying to do too much too soon! I am just trying to get on with my life though and I don't want to be held back any more! I've still been doing my physio exercises, the gym, and Pilates with a few bike rides thrown in. Sometimes by the end of the day I'm limping, it's not painful, it's as if my muscles have had enough and won't support my hip! So maybe I need to reel my rehab in a bit whilst I focus on getting back to my full time hours. I did think I'd be closer to the finish line at nearly 7 months post op but I know it's just a strength issue now and therefore i need more time. I am thankful that my horrible deep joint pain has gone for good, I am not as restricted day to day, and I can plan social things (just not too much yet!) I just need to carry on being patient, which is getting harder not easier haha! Andrea X
