Afternoon my new friends and family!

I'm preparing for tomorrow's hip revision operation after my first one on 18 March 2016 was cancelled.  I can't remember how nervous and anxious I was last time but know I definitely was, but as the hours tick by getting closer and closer to the operation, I'm getting more scared.  I know it's normal to feel like this.

When I read people's stories post op,it does make me feel a bit positive. It does help a lot to know so many other people have been through these operations and share their experiences.

I had a courtesy call not long ago to remind me to come into hospital tomorrow at 10:30 am!

I think it was Renee who said about 'surrendering' to the hospital so I will take this great piece of advice and this is what I will do.  I know I will be in good hands as the consultant is brilliant and also his registrar who I met on the day of my original operation day, who was so kind and lovely to me.

Anyway, I hope next time I post anything, it will be post-op and everything went smoothly.

Bye for now.  Pammyw.  xx
