    Hi, Lynn, so sorry you are nervous.  I am having my hip done tomorrow, got to be at hospital in sheffield, at 7am.  I am terrrrrrified!  We have got to be brave, you know how time flies and it will all be a distant memory not long from now. I had a hysterectomy in 2009 and just cannot believie it was so long ago. Are you not in the uk, with no one speaking English.  Anyway I have still loads to do yet. Take care.

      Hi Crossy. So you are still on for Friday. What time are you going in? I have to be there at 8am. Phone in the night before to see if there is a bed for me.

    Good luck Lynn, it's my turn on Wednesday. I go in tomorrow afternoon. I'm anxious too but I'm sure we'll both be fine. I've never heard of this Betadine, I wonder if I will have to use it, or maybe it's just something the French hospitals do .... I'll let you know how I get on, I hope I don't cry too much tomorrow....

    Hi Lynne, I can just imagine how scared you must be feeling, but at least by this time tomorrow it will be done !! I'm still waiting for my date and am very apprehensive.  Try to rest tonight ( very difficult I know !! ). I will be thinking of you. Wishing you the very best of luck and sending lots of love.  Night night xxxxx.

    Lynn, it is so comforting to read all the support and love coming your way...so many people going in for their surgeries in the next few days, you all  will have alot of gossip to get caught up on during hour recovery.....I'll be following all of you, hugs from a fellow "chicken" xoxo

    p.s. during my last surgery I was shaking so much I literally was bouncing on the operating table - very embarrasing!!! Patricia from Toronto
