Thanks Jim.

The other piece of what @CaptnJim wrote is also very important. All the PT and walking really should continue for the rest of your life, maybe at a less intense level, but still ... . The old line, "If you don't use it you lose it," is still true. Doesn't matter how old you are already.

There's hope for you yet.

Thanks for posting.

The main problem is my evacuation problems, we are trying the Mavicol but I am afraid because of my pancreatic pathology.
I'm halfway through therapy, hopefully I'm going home on December 23 ...
Crossing my fingers...
Otherwise I'll have a bad Christmas away from home...

Crossing fingers (rather hard), you'll be home for Christmas.

Today I started using crutches ... I have 20 days to go to be able to have a level of rehabilitation such that I can be discharged before Christmas. I'll make it?

Hospital food or your mum's panettone should be a great incentive to be home by Christmas.

As they say on Bob the Builder; "Can you do it? Yes you can!"

Cannelloni.

Getting back home is a great incentive. Keep doing the work. Since you mention crutches, are you able to put weight on the leg with the new hip? I went from the walker to a cane, not having to use crutches in between, but my leg was weight bearing right after the surgery.

Keep your sights on the goal (getting home).

I'd suggest not forgetting to maintain or continue on your weight loss journey. You've worked hard to become healthier and your PT is the perfect reason to keep it up.

I know this from experience as I lost almost 100 pounds, ten years ago. Until COVID, I'd managed to keep it off. I'm slowly working on losing the 25 I've gained back.

Today my mother came to see me, very moved ... I cried, excuse me.

No need to ask for being excused! Wish my mom or dad were still here to stop by for a visit!

You actually look fantastic and I can see you are recovering. What a good son!

Wow…tears came to my eyes looking at this photo.

It's all going to work, Attila. I can almost feel it.

Even more incentive to work hard and get yourself back home. No shame in having emotions and being moved by the ones we love. Nice "pick me up" for you. And her.

And she brought your younger sister?

No matter how old we get, we are still our mother's little boy.

She's busy but I have a divorced cousin ...

Your new user name = Attila the Hungry.

You are excused, I got a little bit of wet eye also. Thank you for sharing, your post made my day. Now keep up your progress and get yourself home for Christmas, you're mother expects it!

Tonight they took me from the rehabilitation clinic to another hospital due to a severe inflammation of the duodenum .. unbearable pain ...

I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you bounce back quickly so you can get on with rehab. We want you home for Christmas!

Update: Duodenal inflammation has been overcome. I continue the rehabilitation therapy.
PS: Fiat chassis ambulances are terrible!
They vibrate and are noisy like an old buggy.

I'm glad your back at it.

Did the driver forget to engage the suspension?

News ...
Tuesday, December 14th I will resign from the rehabilitation clinic because of my stomach problems; the doctors think they are due to the type of hospital alimentation (food).

There is no place like home - especially home cooking in Italy. Heal soon and stay at the physical therapy.

Does that mean you are going home?

Yes and I think when I get home I'll cry for half an hour ...

Good for you. Keep working at it!

good rehabilitation at home !!! eat healthy, do the PT and get well soon

Good for you, Attila! Don't let Mom spoil you - keep working on the physical therapy and keep us posted.

Good for you Attila. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Attila, does mom do email? If so let us know her address and we will give her some suggestions on keeping you moving!

Then again she probably knows a few tricks herself!

My God what an ordeal! Please get well. Be as positive as possible. I had hip replacement nov 22, was walking with walker that afternoon, home the next morning. I was released from home care yesterday. I can't imagine the hell you have been through! I have been so lucky. Again, be as strong as you can. Please get well.

From today I'm home!
Why will you ask yourselves?
The cause is that I had to have my duodenitis treated by a specialist doctor, but I continue my rehabilitation by paying a therapist who comes to my home.

On to the next chapter. Glad you are home; in the US, insurance pays for a certain amount of in-home physical therapy. The two guys who did my PT were great: very encouraging and the hour they were there was all about teaching me how to exercise on my own. I definitely got better sooner with their guidance. Hoping that being at home gives you a renewed incentive to make the most of the physical therapy.

More importantly, what's your first home cooked meal after hospital......
