LOL Sue,
OH could'nt have crutches
wasn't using them properly
so they gave him 2 walking sticks
instead .
how are you doing on the aching , do you get much pain /aching /soreness OH does sometimes .
the lying on his back is killing him lol
Hazelx

Hazel,

I get into shower (over bath) with the aid of crutches and hubby.

It looks funny but really isn't! Had to use that stupid 'sponge on a stick'. Well some weeks ago it became a sponge and a stick. Obviously designed only to be used for a week by people who were not serious about actually trying to rub skin with it :-((
Better use would be a pair of them on an airfield directing aircraft!

Liz,

Re the toenails I gave up waiting for an appointment and braved OH wielding clippers! Had no choice as I was in danger of lacerating his legs in bed!

Oh the things we go through :-((

Sue x

roflmao, now, how do I get up again lol?

Sue, you should have seen me trying to cut my toenails today! I was on my own as o.h. at work, not that I would trust him with a pair of scissors or clippers lol, but the contortions I got into....!
I have problems getting my socks on too as I am getting so apple shaped and there is no bend in the rolypoly bit lol
I hate wearing tights, just about got them on the other day to go out, but this winter have been cheating by wearing my old leggings with holey crotches and then socks, and tucking everything into boots. Skirt over the top and no one would ever know unless the wind blows! So much easier to get on and still warm as toast, especially as no central heating in this house of o.h's only a gas fire in the open plan lounge so I was quite snug,altho looked a bit odd when I took the boots off and put my slippers on lol

Hello Sue ** ping **

How are you....I have just read this and it reminded me of when I was a teenager about 15 yrs ago or so...anyway my Aunt had an hip op..and one day she told me she has just received her elastic laces..because she couldnt bend down..I inocently asked and I swear it was.....How do you tie the bow ?..

Oh God, don't remind me of the dreaded sock aid...what a stupid un-useable contraption that is. Never got the hang of it, had to get OH to put it on for me.

I got quite adept and putting on me knickers with the helping hand though...lol

I haven't worn tights since I had my hip done....LOL
