Morning my lovelies!

Feeling nervous this morning, I have my 2nd pre op before the big day on Tuesday!

I'm trying to convince myself that I've got no pain and don't need the op! Then I start my shift at work, then I realise I'm being daft!!

Oh well I'm off to work for my last shift now before my op date! ( I work with autistic children and going to miss them loads!) It's only for 2.5 hours then the hospital!

Have a lovely day hippies and hippies to be!

    It's fair to say we all go through this denial phase - I convinced myself that having the hip replaced was ridiculous and my pain was nowhere near what other people appeaered to be experiencing.  Then I remembered that I pretty much become housebound at 44 with young kids and unable to do the things we used to do a couple of years ago such as geocaching etc.  

    It's only due to the restriction in usage that meant the pain wasn't too bad - as soon as I tried to do things on a regular basis the pain returned.

    Go for it.
