  • After the Hip Replacement – Catching Up

    It’s been a while but I’m now starting to feel like writing again, in fact I’ve already started with a couple of tentative posts on Instagram. Instagram is so easy: an update just takes a sentence or two whereas writing a full blog post might still be beyond me – we’ll see.

    Well, in July I found out that I will need a total hip replacement and this totally silenced me. I didn’t know how to talk about it – didn’t really want to talk about it – but since the whole issue has occupied  100% of my brain it has been difficult to talk about anything else.

    So there you are. I’ve said it out loud. Lets see if I can re-find my voice now, and continue onwards with this blog.
