Default Just a wee update.
Hi guys. I posted last year about how my mum was accepted for double knee replacement and hip replacement in a bid to attempt to get her to walk again. She hasn't been able to walk for 20+ years.

I think only people I speak to on msn have had an update, so just thought I'd post.

Her double knee op went well, she's been in hospital for way over a month now.
Her immediate post-surgery pain was apparently "bliss" for what she's been suffering with for years now, so we could see the improvement straight away.

She won't be having her hip operation for a few months until she builds muscle in her legs, since she hasn't walked for so long they're weak and unable to withstand pressure.

However... she took her first steps a week ago, using a weird zimmer with wheels contraption and everyday now she goes for tiny little walks, building up strength.

So all is good.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'm ecstatic. She might be coming home this week so she can do leg exercises at home instead of taking up a hospital bed.

That is amazing, it must feel so weird for you! To see your mum walk who you have never seen walk before.
