So the simple answer is that it is still aching quite a lot, sometimes twinges in my hip, still tender to impact on the outer side. I don't limp unless it's a particularly bad day, but sometimes I often feel as though I'm walking laboriously - no sexy hip-swinging down the street!
I'm still planning to get out in the dinghy when Spring comes (I have bought a new, less twitchy one!), and probably get back on sailing club safety boat duty. It's time to tell it who's boss while not doing anything stupid.
The solicitor's file must be getting pretty thick, and she says one of the problems with the assessment is my age.... The problem is that I'm too young! No-one knows how long it's going to take until I'm doing long distance walking with 15kg packs again, or what the possible side-effects will be as I get older.
I read an article about how humans have a bias towards thinking positively, and life having a 'silver lining'. Guilty as charged as far as the last 18 months are concerned, as you'll know from my various posts.
Onwards and upwards towards that sexy walk!
A positive mental attitude is a must! If you tell yourself that you can't do it then you won't...if you tell yourself that you can then there is a good chance that you will. (and we will be cheering you on every step of the way!)
