Just thought I'd pop in and say, see you tomorrow with the new fully operational, pain free hip.... 

Feel relaxed at the moment, I think that's due to the large baileys with ice that I am slowly getting through... 

Thanks for all the support over the past few months ... Night, hear from you tomorrow. Much love xxx

      Depends on whether or not you like hearing the 'DIY noises' .... I went for spinal, with no sedation.  Heard everything, felt nothing. Able to have a cuppa in the recovery room straight after the Op, which you cannot do after a general.

      Hopefully by now you're on your way to a new life with a new hip.

      Good luck, let us know how you are.

      Best wishes

      Had GA both times with no problems ... You might be right, Graham, but they gave a delicious ice cold popsicle in the recovery room ...

      I had both too and it worked well for me.  When I first came to after the surgery, I  could hear myself saying, "I want some more of that..."  I guess I really liked the sedative!  My leg remained numb for several more hours on purpose.  When that eased, I felt better.

      Good luck today!

      The inflating leg cuffs soon come off, they have to so you can get out of bed and walk.

      Hope you get a good night's sleep - or at least a better one than I had.
