“You haven’t got my hips. What a shame” Isabel is so funny 😂

Please let Percy know we are all thinking of him and wish him a speedy recovery.

Poor Percy, suffering for an entire year. I wish the very best of health to him soon. Your mother is amazing - she has the energy of someone 20 years younger (maybe 30!).

Best wishes for Percy's quick recovery!

Stephanie, if you can find a pool and swim or even tread water 3 times a week. It will make it easier to move pain free. The more you strengthen the hip muscles the happier your hips joints will be. Diagnosed over 40 years ago. Treading water has been the most effective therapy.

Absolutely agree. I had hip surgery after an accident and a diagnosis of osteoarthritis followed. Swimming has made a MASSIVE difference to me and weight / resistance training a couple of times a week. Never thought I would join a gym at 55, but there you go! 😆

Hot tub 1st. That's an affordable purchase, and Amury and Philip can set it up, even before Christmas, and it's something you can use all year long, it's great hydrotherapy. The pool will take much longer to plan and find the right people, plus a larger expense.

What an inspiration Isabel is, all our Very Best Wishes to Percy for a quick recovery 💝💐

Wonderful to see Isabelle in such good spirits. Rest is key in healing the body and it’s good that Percy is able to. ❤️🇨🇦

Best wishes for Percy's speedy recovery. I do not know if you will actually see this comment but Steph I want you to keep in mind that surgeon's only know how to do one thing and this is to operate. (RN here) to them there is no other alternative. Yes oestrogen-arthristis is a long term degenerative disease. However, you do not have any excess weight, which is a total bonus for you. The things you could start to implement now that would cause you more tears than giving up biscuits, cheese, wine and all the other yummy food you love, you need to ditch your skyscraper heels! The angle high heels force your hips and knees to be at, and the actual load bearing distribution is wrong from the natural way it should be. Flats and low heels for the majority of the time and the high heels for rare rare occasions. Gentle walking, or actually non-weight baring exercise in a pool is great too. Also better seating, no really low seating. You don't want to have a hip replacement until pain and mobility get so bad that you have no other option, and the replacement is a step up. You are not there yet and with careful management, you may never get there.

As a retired RN, I agree with all of Angela’s suggestions. You want to try everything before doing surgery. Definitely give up the heels except for special occasions and invest in good supportive flats and trainers. Hope you can find the time to take care of yourself 😍😘

I just love your Mom. When she told you she made the appointment, it was clear who the boss is. Best wishes and health to all of you.

Well, firstly I wish Percy a full and speedy recovery, secondly, I’m sorry to hear of your woes Stephanie…you must slow down a little and take care of yourself and lastly, I can’t go without saying how much I admire Isobel, despite her worries she looks so well and beautiful and to be running along like that, well I only wish to be half so fit at her age. All the best to all three of you xx

Stephanie, there is always volunteers and people working, cooking, gardening, fixing , painting, and rebuilding things, but off all the videos I've watched, I've only seen you painting one bathroom and telling us you don't get out of bed early. The videos give the impression everyone is up early working very hard and then your the last on up and walk around admiring all the work, then jetting away every now and again 😊

Stephanie, Gerry, and Philip do DIY projects filmed for Channel 4 that will be shown in the fall. We will see all the extra footage then on CD. Chateau Diaries isn't just a DIY Channel and never has been. 18 years ago, a round of restoration was started, and the B&B was established. Stephanie has always shown daily life, including travel. Stephanie has moved most of her travel to two other channels except for chateau visits. Stephanie uses her vlogs and the B&B to pay most of the people who work full time at Lalande. Natti, Amaury, Kristie, Maria, and Philip work full time. Others are part-time or volunteers or work contract projects. If you want to see only DIY, there are other channels to watch. Stephanie was a night owl, staying up for years editing, sewing, and uploading the vlogs from her car. A faster network, Philip editing, and a manager for the B&B mean she is more of a morning person again. She and Philip often work all night on projects, so I don't understand your complaints. ❤

Your mother is amazing.

Sometimes a treatment can make you feel worse than the actual illness. But the end result will be worth it. I hope Percy begins to feel like his old self very soon. It was nice to meet one of his sons! So glad he can be there for his dad.

Isabella looks tired.. I hope she is taking care of herself also.

Your mom is a wonder!! A most remarkable person

So happy to see you happily visiting Mummy and know that Percy is healing.

The transformation of that stone room is INCREDIBLE! Well done!

South Africa has excellent doctors so I am sure you are all in good hands.

Mummy seems far more happy and looks so young and healthy in SA!

Glad to hear TB can be treated these days as my grandpa sadly died of it at 34 yrs leaving a young family😢my poor Mum was only 5 at the time. Prayers for Percy and Mummy for speedy recovery❤she reminds me of my mother who could outrun me at 84 and played golf twice a week! Amazing dames😅!!❤

Hope Percy makes a full recovery soon 💔

Stephanie, you just described the exact same scenario that happened to my left hip. Although my pain started at 18, which I blame on being an athlete in school. At 50 I was told you're too young for a hip replacement, at 52 I told them my quality of life sucks... they did it and it was a BLESSING!!

@zoefoster1873

I've had two hip replacements due to osteoarthritis, first one aged 45 and the second aged 57 (I'm now 67). The difference to my quality of life was incredible, and the operations weren't nearly as awful as you might expect. Not sure that giving up bread etc would make any difference to the arthritis - once the hip has begun to deteriorate there's not much you can do other than try to keep it moving until you get a replacement. And my surgeon told me it is pointless to take supplements such as glucosamine sulphate.

​@@corricattI would guess that partly what she's getting at is that with dietary change, exercise/stretches/weight-lifting, etc, your body can heal itself to the point it doesn't require surgery, but that most doctors want the surgery because $$$, and most people want the quick fix, not the harder, long-term life-style changes. When a person starts to research what the Western world's "fashion" does to our bodies, particularly as relates to our feet, it's a real eye-opener. With proper footwear (no pointed toes, plenty of toe box space, and no heels), a person's feet and legs stay aligned, which in turn is going to make a huge difference in the knee and hip joints. We're taught to wear totally improper footwear from day one, and it doesn't get any better from that point. As Stephanie is seldom out of heels/pumps for days on end when she's traveling, and often in heels at home, it's likely her joints have been dealing with abuse for years.

Prayers for Percy's speedy recovery!

Stephanie - Lovely for Isabelle to be able to 'mummy you' and sort out those appointments. She will get such a boost herself from your visit, she was so cheered up on that last scene. Best wishes to Percy 🍀

Prayers for Percy and our whole Chateau family

So nice to see Isabelle and meet one of Percy’s sons. Sending Percy lots of love and healing ❤ and Stephanie, cutting on wearing heels instead of bread and biscuits help? It’d be an easy swap for me 😊 stay well, all of you ❤❤

Stephanie, your mother is a complete wonder! I’ve never seen someone her age break into a sprint 😂

Welcome, Stephanie, to the "hip" crowd. I'm watching your program 6 days post hip replacement surgery and doing well so far. You can do it too with all the love and help from your chateau family. Take care.

Perhaps it's time for her to stop wearing the high heels she likes to wear a large part of the time, and switch to shoes with a supportive foot bed. I switched to Birkenstock's stylish strappy sandals at age 40, a good, structured foot bed aligns the hip bones properly. Got orthotics for my athletic walking shoes. Also got food allergy testing and gave up wheat and gluten. Nightshade foods contribute to arthritis, such as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant.

I'm the exact same age as you. What a pain it is to get older! I'm so glad Percy is getting the test and care that he needs. It's lovely to see you all jetting off in all directions, living life to the fullest. Stay healthy and happy, all of you! ❤

Your mom looks fantastic! Her eyes looked tired but she looks great. And her running ? I was so jealous! Keeping Percy in my prayers that he starts to feel better soon !

So pleased you could go to give them moral support. I hope Percy is responding well to treatment. Sending love to all.💗💗

Many prayers for Percy to heal with no sequelae. Blessings to Isabelle and a reminder to take care of herself as well. Your family has brought me a lot of joy, Stephanie. Bless you too. 🧡

Isabel is a wonder woman. I was so shocked and impressed to see her running down the road.

I have noticed how once we relax after a major reno or a prolonged effort of ‘carrying on’, our body simply succumbs to ailments, now is the time you are allowed to be sick. All the very best to Percy.

I’m 53 years old and had a hip replacement 2 weeks ago. Looking forward to walking without pain 😊

I’m so pleased Stephanie is going to see an OS. I really wanted to suggest it but didn’t want to be a busy body. A hip replacement in your future? They’re so clever and it’ll be life changing. You’ve got a lot of living to do.

46 and a fellow osteoarthritis sufferer! Very indignant that my bones don’t know how young we are! 😂. I’m so happy you were able to fly to see Percy and your mother. Continued prayers for his speedy healing!❤

Stephanie I had a hip replacement at the age of 43 due to having osteoarthritis so don't worry it is quite common, better to have this done if your in a lot of pain

So pleased that you could see your mum and Percy!

Bless Isabel for looking after her daughter! Sending quick healing thoughts for Percy.

I know it is of great comfort for you to be there. Thank you for Percy’s update. Love from Texas

I hope Percy does well with the treatment. Your Mom is just amazing with those youthful hips of hers. That osteo arthritis is so common and I can say working out in water is very good for it, think about it. I'm your Mom's age and that is my main form of exercise it's so good for the joints. I live in Alaska and we have a club in my small town with a salt water very warm pool we use and a skilled teacher as well.

Marie is so lovely. 😊

Steph, sorry to hear about your hip. I’m a little younger than you but have a whole laundry list of health woes, it’s a right nightmare and makes me feel very old. You’ve been such a great example to me, trying to remind me to enjoy life, even if it is just watching you enjoy it when I really struggle to do so myself. Sending lots of hugs….I know you’ll feel like you are making a fuss…..but these sorts of moments take their toll. Have all the hugs you need.
