Bad is good and good becomes bad.

Well, here I am again just over a year since my last post. The good news is that the new hip continues to perform well and causes no problems whatsoever. It is so good that I now describe my right leg as my 'GOOD' leg.
However the bad news is that the left hip has now decided it also needs attention. I suppose I expected this to happen, but definitely not so soon. What was my GOOD leg is now known as my BAD leg.
A difficult few weeks have led me to the doctor's surgery too many times. Distant memories of aches, stiffness and graunching have flooded back, finally culminating with a session of physiotherapy this morning. Having been told that I might have to wait 2/3 months for an appointment I feel very fortunate to have been scooped up by the NHS so quickly. The assessment was carried out by Sam....yes you've guessed it....young, handsome and so professional! I now have exercises to do to try to strengthen the already weakened muscles as well as do's and don'ts about sitting, standing and walking. Another appointment beckons in two weeks, so until then I have some hard work to do if I am going to impress Sam!
What more can I say except watch this space.
