One annoying thing though - we came along the canal for about 300 yards and three times cyclists came from the opposite direction and expected my wife to move for them!
She's walking carefully with the aid of a stick - what more indication do these selfish B'stards want?!
One of them got a strop on so I told him if he didn't "go forth & multiply" he'd end up IN the canal - OK PAL?!
Back home now and she's ringing friends and family, telling them how she's getting on!! stevmk2

Re: Hip replacement
Got a bit of a worry.We dispensed with the compression stockings this morning and my wife's been fine.
Actually in my honest opinion she's overdone things again but will she listen.........
Anyway, she now has both ankles swollen up so we are both a little worried - keep an eye on ankles swelling up the physio said.
I've applied an ice pack for about 20 minutes per leg and she says it just feels normal and she often had this in the past so now we are just monitoring it.
Think it's the right thing to do. stevmk2

Yeah Steve matey - just keep an eye on it. Given the heat & humidity that alone could be partially causing it too.

It's sounds like a combination of your good lady 'overdoing' it....and the heat steve.
Make sure she elevates that leg when sitting and takes it easy, make sure she doesnt dehydrate and make sure she behaves.
