Let's Have Some Fun Today!!!

Worst: Having to "sleep" sitting up for 6 weeks, and only getting 5 - 6 hours of sleep per day during that whole time.

Best: NOT having to do any cleaning chores, food shopping, cooking, laundry, etc. for a long time!

The worst was the intense pain 1 hour after surgery.  The anesthesiologist forgot to put in an order for pain relief for me once I got to my room.  I was screaming with pain clutching onto the side of the bed.  It really freaked my husband out.  The only other pain I've ever felt like that is when I was in the final stage of labor with my son 

The best was not having to go to work for several weeks

Worst - First two weeks after the operation - pain and getting used to sleeping on back.

Enjoyed - catching up on TV programmes normal don't have time to watch.

Worst thing for me getting on and off the bed best was being pain-free

Ohhhh what a question . The toilet/washing scenario was my worst. My best, waking with no hip pain for the first time in my life that I can remember. 

Worst:

Getting in and out of bed first week or so

Lack of sleep

Not able to bath / shower (was reliant on mum twice a week)

Best:

The support on this forum, especially at 2am as can't sleep

Being home with the cat

Reading lots of good books

About 6 days after surgery all of the fluids started coming out of my body. Every 15 minutes. And lying on my back with the proper leg support. Wouldn't you know I found it just recently? And not really sleeping for the first 4 weeks or so.

Worst: Getting up every hour to go to the toilet at night

Best: Beind excused chores, and seeing my son volunteer to do the washing up.

Getting into bed was the worst as I'm 4 11 on a good day.and it was really hard to get into our bed which is an electric bed and higher off the ground than most.Favorite-Feeling my pain levels go down from where they were preop and believing there really is light at the end of this tunnel that I have been hobbeling through for the last 2 1/2 years 😊??

Worst - getting in and out of bed , and also in and out of the car for dr checkup s etc . 

Best - watching DVDs box sets whilst sitting in my recline and lift chair Outlander being my favourite 

 

The worst for me was having to use a bed pan, in a room full of 8 more patients without curtains around the bed. I held my "number 2" for 1 week until I got home because I was so self conscious about the whole embarrassing thing! VERY UNCOMFORTABLE😆. The best thing was that I was cared for by my family and got to spend 4 months at home with them till I returned to work! And most important of all......NO MORE PAIN!!!
