    @pechelman Yeah...I def thought about asking that. I guess I ended up not doing so because it was causing me so much strife, I didn't want to prolong what I knew was the inevitable. His reaching out to me to give me that option anyway really has been nice. Going to take a hike tomorrow and get my thoughts in order and come with a focused list of concerns I have and see what he says...

    Could be a good time to push for a two day work week, full pay!!

      A week ago today, I had a total (Japanese Ceramic apparently) replacement of my lefty (sic) hip.

      Well, a week down the road and, I am already significantly better than I was before the op. I am not in any pain (I forgot to take the drugs yesterday, and I was fine.

      My range of movement is better than prior to the op, and I can positively jog up and downstairs.

      Frankly, it is amazing and I am in awe of the medical team who fixed me.

      I'm at the heaviest I have ever been (about 12lb above where I feel good about myself), probably because I could not do much before the op, and Paula has been rewarding me with loads of chocolate biscuits since

      Physio starts in a week, so I am keen to get 100% fit again and lose those excess pounds.

      For sale, one set of crutches, as new 🙂

        Wonderful news, Giles!! I’m so glad you’re feeling more like your old self. You’ll be back in shape in no time, I’m sure.

          @Giles congrats on a successful op! Glad it's already an improvement. Enjoy that increased mobility!

            I wish you a speedy recovery @Giles! One of my aunties is the bionic woman at this point - she has an arthritic condition - and has had both hips and knees done. She'd recommend that you do everything the physio suggests; like you say, having the op done gave her a new lease on life too and makes that so much easier!

            Take the dive...

                        Bonito's? Bonito's are bait 🙂

                        The biggest insult when you are playing a BFT is to be asked if it is a decent Bonito 🙂

                            Bonitos are great fun if you are using the right tackle. But when you hook one on tackle designed for 60kg GT's or 100kg Tuna, they waste your time.....

                                @Giles well, all I know is I’m ready to go fishing. High alpine fishing is still a ways off til thaw. But the low elevation rivers are calling!!

                                    When I had my Hip (H)op, I was told that after 2 weeks I would need to have the dressing removed. The post-operation notes say that I was stitched up with dissolving stitches , so I completed an online form for my local doctor. I was just phoned back:

                                    Surgery - Is that Mr Padmore?
                                    G - Yes (then we do the ID bit)
                                    S - What do you need?
                                    G - I have had a hip replacement and need my dressing removed after 14 days
                                    S - Do you need to have stitches removed?
                                    G - No, they are the dissolving type
                                    S - Oh, we don't just do dressings
                                    G - Actually, the stitches dont seem to be dissolving that well
                                    S - Great, what time would you like to come in

                                    FFS
