just to let you all know, I yet again rang the consultants secretary, for a date update. To be told I'm nearly at the top of the list and just a few more weeks. I said I've waited 29 weeks now. Is there any chance I can go on the cancellation list. She said yes, how soon can you come in. I said any time. She said I've got one a week today is that any good? I said that's mine. So yes 5th August is my day. Pre op on Monday. Will keep you all up dated. Thanks everyone for your support. A great site.

    Congrats on getting your surgery date. That is the first big step after all the waiting and struggling pre op.

    Wishing you all the best.

    Almost there!

    I hope you are fling good about this. I was a weird mix of exhilaration, trepidation and anxiety that I hadn't prepared enough. Well ... you cannot really be fully prepared! But even though recovery is much slower than you might want or imagined, it is totally worth it. Getting rid of the bone on bone is simply wonderful - even with the post surgery pain.

    Be regular with your pain meds, do your exercises and be patient and kind with/to your body. Wishing you a super surgeon and recovery and support for recovery.
