I went back to work today.  I think I should have hobbled in to our Medical Department with my cane to get put on 1/2 days, but I didn't think about that, so did not bring the cane, and had to go back full time!  I'll know better when I have my other side done.

I hope that they aren't wearing you out too much.  I still get quite tired when I have a busy day and sitting too long without moving around isn't helpful either.  I'm only working part time at the moment and from home.  I'm a little way away from being able to drive but as soon as I am able to I think that I'll be going back.  I'm lucky that they'll be flexible enough that I can leave when I've had enough for the day.  I'm pretty sure they'd rather me come in as soon as I can even if it is for reduced hours.

Your movements are becoming more natural and you don't notice it at first. It is still very exciting especially when you think back to what it was like pre-surgery. You seem to be doing very well. Enjoy!

My Physio mentioned this just this morning.  My gait has improved so much since before surgery.  Even though I'm still on crutches the actual 'mechanics' of walking is significantly straighter and my body is aligned how it should be.
Now that I'm off hip restrictions we have added some more exercises and stretching in so I should be seeing some other changes as well soon.  Looking forward to all that the coming weeks bring me :)
