Fake hips - or does my bum look big in this?

That has made me laugh this morning

Humour is definitely healing for the soul

Whilst I was in hospital during the week, my best friend wrote comments on the roll of toilet paper advising me not to push, grit my teeth, you know real toilet humour.

She never told me, I found them

Made me laugh a lot

Your right humour helps you get through some rough times. 

In in the early days after my op when I was using my "grabber" to pick things up and help me dress there was one morning when I felt particularly stiff and was having trouble getting my knickers on. My friend Maggie who staying with me at the time was in hysterics at the bedroom door watching me reaching down to position the knickers on the floor I couldn't seem to lift my operated leg up enough for me to pull the knickers up when I finally did the "grabber" kept slipping when I tried to pull them up. After much swearing and cursing I did it, only realising Maggie was there when I heard a round of applause and she was finally able to laugh out loud. We still have a good laugh about it. The "stick" now that's another story...............

Hi kate,   ... Oh, there were times that I got worried when I thought I lost my sense of humor .. fortunately those moments were short lived - 

I want to share one story :

One of my girlfriend's grandsons just turned 2 years ... when I was pre-op he just started to walk - you knwo, the wobbling, falling getting up etc... After my surgery he was walking like a little Speedy Gonzales - one morning, while I was getting out of my chair, he came and looked up at me with such kind and loving eyes (pity maybe) - grabbed me by my hand and gently pushed one leg forward and then the other ... I laughed so hard and then started crying .... I will never forget that ... hmm, I wonder what he will think when I have my other hip done ....

big hug

 

Well......I see outpatients in clinic at the hospital, before my op I was so immobile I'd use a walker. So, when I called my patients in the older ones often had a walker too. I'd say...'wanna race' 

Now I am four weeks on and one of my girls who is 9 told me this morning that she likes me being bionic. She kisses my leg often...so cute x

I LOVE these stories thanks!  They've all given me a giggle.  "Shamu" made me cry with laughter that's the sense of humour we have in this house!  My boyfriend and I have various hippie jokes that have helped through the worst. For instance I can't make a point and storm off.... Me trying to "chase" him into the kitchen is just a joke as he only has to walk at a normal speed to seem like he's sprinting away from me.... Silly things but it keeps me "going"

Thanks Kay you made my day.

And that's a good suggestion.we all could use a kitty humor.

You have certainly made my day. Humor is what gets us through and those times when frustration or pain seems to hide our funny bone there is alwasys somone like you to bring us back. Thank you.

I love all the stories, good way to start my day reading them. 

It shouldn't really make me laugh but my husband will insist on walking on my stick side. Each time he trips over it I find it funny, (he just curses "the stick") he won't learn though, still walks that side. 👫👫

i have a love/hate relationship with my stick!!!!!
