Morning everyone,

I think I'm losing it altogether, so my actual pre opp. date was june 4th, so I have another 6 weeks under Scottish law, but they will let me know the date by the 24th july, if that makes any senserolleyes so happy friday everyone, I just watchthed this morning and saw Amanda say goodbye, she said it's been a year the happiest of her life!! it only seems like yesterday to  me when Holly was leaving to have her baby, I don't to gotten any nearer, I'm still sitting here despratly lonely, and wanting my life back.

    Oh Lynne that's a bit of a let down......at least you got some clarification. Have a good cry........get a cake.....phone a friend....be kind to yourself.

    I remember the preop wait, I couldn't think straight because the pain was so constant. I forgot so many things which isn't like me. 

    Take Care.

    Hi Lynne, hope you hear about date soon. I had my pre op assessment on 4th June too and received a letter last Saturday with the 20/7 for my op...I had to turn it down as my hubby is down south. Rang them to advise and now have a date of 21/8 😍 this is my second hip replacement; I had my first (left one) replaced in January.

    Fingers  crossed your date is soon too.

    Hi Lynn

    I really hope you hear about your operation soon.  If you have heard nothing by next Friday phone again. Then keep phoning every week till you get what you want. It is the only way.

    Sorry to hear that you're feeling low, Lynne......Waiting is hellish. But within the week you should know your date, then, so that's good.  

    Wishing you the best.

      Hi Lynne ... how are you feeling this morning?    

      I love the 50's sci-fi movies ... Twilight Zone being my favorite !!!  

      I just want to say something you probably already know - please, do not look back on the past year and think that it was wasted ... that is sooo depressing - 

      it sucked big time, I am sure and thorougly understand - I too have those thoughts and also regrets to boot ... spiralling down into the abyss - it is a lonely place ... and for you, waiting for such a long time for something that needs to be done, must be horrible ...

      someone once said : When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at, change 

      be gentle and kind with your self today ... you are not alone and there is great love for you here ...

      warm hug

      renee
