HE SAID...  Nice proportions Zak. The swingarm attachment in that first pic looks like a factory fitment. Nicely done. What it needs now is a nice long run -say, to our pitch at the Basingstoke Transport Festival in May.

How long do they reckon you r off work when they do hip Zac?
hi nabsim,well I'm off on Monday to see the specialist with a list of questions i will be wanting to ask including how long I'm likely to be out of action for, Alan (bitzman) who came down for a visit last year who at the time had just recently had his own hip done and has guided me on what i can expect and have Alan to thank for wanting to pushing my self to take steps to actually getting something done about my own hip, one of the things that Alan pointed out to me was the thing you have to be careful about when first receiving a new hip is not to over do things or the hip can have a tendency to pop out its socket,my bigest fear is I'm sure i will be able to tell you what this feels like as i know i cant keep still for five minutes and am more than likely to brake all the rules the doctors tell me i (just cant help myself). anyway hows the roads around derby looking we are planing to be blazing the trail round there May bank Holiday so if your out and about and you see a triker with one leg over his shoulder that will be me having popped me hip |

You are winter has been a lot worse on my hips, consultant did say a couple of years ago if I hadn't lost a leg I would be in a wheelchair after seeing the x-rays but I never believed him as I hadn't had any problems. Till this winter. Thing that's putting me off is how long it takes before at least as good as before you have it done. Think I will be a bit buggered til I can get about again okay. Plus we don't get sick pay so will need to put it off as long as possible as still have 49 more mortgage payments. Not bad enough to interfere with work though just working outside on the trike. Or in the shed. Never mind warmer weather shouldn't be that many weeks off now  If you don't mind will you let me know how long they reckon it should take? Will have a word myself when I am at the limb centre next time but that is summer I think and if it's cold weather causing it I may well forget all about it |

Alan as given you the best advice there Nabsim,its not such a long draw proses as we think, please take his advise as i have,I'm lucky in a way its just one of my hips and its the left so to get my right leg over the saddle is not going to be such a prob...........and just think how much more you will be able to do that you are not able to do at the moment.... pain free ......will pm you to keep you posted on my own progress.Zak

Wow that's a lot quicker than I thought it would be, thanks Bitzman and Zac. Not sure it is bad enough yet for them to do it. Last they said was they would wait until it was unbearable and it isn't that by any means. will speak to consultant at limb centre definitely and see what he reckons |
