Last Hospital visit at Birmingham

I actaully saw O'Hara yesterday and i never had an x-ray just had him see me and discharge me as his patient. Not sure how i feel about that to be very honest. I should be excited and pleased as my Hubby certainly is. But i know how much pain i'm in with the right side (he has gone back to saying it's severely overworked and over used and has given me the chair exercises again too, to only use the left leg while rising up from a chair and slowly sitting down.) Really hurts this exercise does and your so worn out any other exercise has to be forgotten about as does housework for a fair while too! I'm to do 10 mins a day doing this, 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening, and not work out he other leg at all. No mention of the rotation, it was almost like he hadn't wrote the email or had any knowledge of it? He simply wanted to hear how successful the left hip is and sign me off. Feel a little cheated if i'm seriously honest, and now Hubby is convinced there is nothing wrong with the right hip apart from being overworked like O'Hara says. So now i'm being told to go off and concentrate on that hip for 6 months, to build it up after decades of non useage. He did say it will hurt like hell and will tire me out, so he made sure he spoke to Richard when he said, it's time to forget the kids and running around after them and doing the housework, but rather use my time and energy to do this exercise instead and he will have to help out along with kids, lol That was good, so now i can say 'well he told you, you have to make tea!'

But something is feeling rather flat about it all, any normal person would be over the moon at no more surgery and recovery and all that jazz, but inside i'm doubting him and what he is saying. Which i know sounds like i don't trust him, and i feel guilty for that. I suppose the least i can do is the whole 6 months of doing exactly what he says and then if, i still have this mobility, limp and pain issue then i guess i can redress the problem again?? What would you guys do? Should i email him again asking about the femur that is rotated and why he didn't mention it yesterday?

AAAaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh why can't i just be happy with what he says? Verdict on those exercises, as i did my 10 mins yesterday is they REALLY REALLY HURT and wore me out good and proper, i slept for hours afterwards, and this morning i honestly can't imagine doing them ever again, as i'm super stiff and super sore. But i will do them, Perhaps you guys could try them out too if you have one side weaker than the other, they are intended to get rid of the GIMP LIMP once and for all.
