It’s been a busy week, with more Medical appointments along the way. On a bright note, my knee is now pain free, which is great, on a more worrying note, the pain in my hip, following the rough treatment by the knee Doc, continues, it certainly isn’t as bad as before the surgery, but theContinue reading “The Good and the Bad!”

I’m not Sorry!
I came on to the site, and saw the last date of Posting, and immediately went to apologise…Again!!! and thought, no I’m fed up of apologising, it’s just been a hectic three weeks, with computer problems as well, I’m afraid the Blog took second place. Firstly the Balcony, Oscar and his crew took a breakContinue reading “I’m not Sorry!”
Semana Santa / Easter
I think stressful is the current appropriate term to describe life here! We discovered a couple of weeks ago that to all intents and purposes Jaime has gone AWOL, apparently he has personal problems due to an addiction, it came as a big surprise to us. He had worked his socks off for us whenContinue reading “Semana Santa / Easter”
Ups and Downs…Again!
It’s been a weird couple of weeks, I went to see my Orthopaedic Surgeon , and she was happy with the progress I have made with my new hip, as we had been instructed by my Health Service Provider, we asked her if she would make a decision on my right knee, but as sheContinue reading “Ups and Downs…Again!”
Getting back to Normal!
To quote an old phrase, ‘Normal is, as normal does’, so I guess it will never be like the old normal! However I am certainly now getting more things done, more on my hip later. Last week the first materials for the new Balcony arrived That’s as far as we have got so far, notContinue reading “Getting back to Normal!”
Normality?
Normality, or whatever comes close to that, I am finally getting there, I have started to catch up on all those niggly jobs that have been piling up, whilkst I have been out of action, and a few more besides. I have tol watch how I move, sit and climb, but in the main theyContinue reading “Normality?”
Getting There!
Without trying to sound big-headed, I am pretty pleased with myself, I am not yet five weeks after my hip surgery, and I have gone from the zimmer frame, to a walking stick and for the last week, no stick, as long as I am on a flat surface. I have made a point ofContinue reading “Getting There!”
Phase Two
To be honest unless you want to know what exercises I have been doing there is not a lot to tell. I have been making steady progress, the exercises change every two or three days, when I have contact with the Physio. I went to see the Surgeon on the 4th, and she was pleasedContinue reading “Phase Two”
Phase one completed!
Monday came, after another message from the Clinic, we were up at 3am, arriving at 5.15am for a 6.30 start. It’s certainly a different process to what I was used to in the UK, you are not assigned a room until after your surgery, I presume in case you don’t make it, and they endContinue reading “Phase one completed!”
My time has come!
From a go slow to full steam ahead! Last Tuesday I had a phone call asking me to attend the Clinic in Medellin to see the Anaesthetist on Thursday, regarding my forthcoming Hip replacement, nice man, and he proved we are all human, as he misread one of the blood results and thought I hadContinue reading “My time has come!”
