An anterior approach hip replacement is less invasive, has fewer restrictions post-op, and a quicker recovery time....if you are a candidate for that approach. <br />When you have the consultation, ask the surgeon which approach they use and why. Also how many of them they have done.<br />DH had an anterior approach 5 years ago (at age 68) and as a retired physical therapist, I was amazed at how quickly he was up and around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-42132371257632823822022-07-01T02:32:04.266+01:002022-07-01T02:32:04.266+01:00That is a pretty pattern, but it is such a long re...That is a pretty pattern, but it is such a long repeat, it hardly qualifies.

It should not take 3 or 4 weeks to Scotland from Europe.<br />Anyway - yes the mosaics in Rome were astonishing. After following Helen's mosaic posts over the years, now I look for mosaics on my travels. it was quite exciting to get to museums again after this long two-year COVID gap.<br />I felt kind of weird about booking a trip, but truly enjoyed being in Rome. The artichokes were fantastic.<br />Lisa RRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-45558403123847815792022-06-30T22:33:49.317+01:002022-06-30T22:33:49.317+01:00That is a beautiful pattern - once it is finished....That is a beautiful pattern - once it is finished. But it may not have the simple symmetry needed to get your rhythm going with stranding. I wonder why your sister is a gainsayer on the hip op. Does she think the operation itself might be a risk to be considered?shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10086627704210304072022-06-30T21:00:25.216+01:002022-06-30T21:00:25.216+01:00I'm a big fan of Private medical if you can af...I'm a big fan of Private medical if you can afford it - I can write it off on my taxes here in Canada. But, even getting the tests done privately can move you up faster since most people are waiting for testing too. And that 24" needle myth . . . I use my 24" for washcloths, hats & socks. I usually use the 32" or the 40" for everything else . . . . .Sharon in Surreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864797100804511728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-37091386367092733152022-06-30T20:38:52.577+01:002022-06-30T20:38:52.577+01:00Yesterday was 'Gawky', I didnt get it .
