    Hi Richard,

    I have no experience of bilateral but the same message seems to be clear from everyone and that is, yes it's hard at first but it's so worth it. 

    As as long as you have all the little gadgets and equipment in the house to help you, you will cope just fine.

    There is a thread somewhere of useful items that is a must read for hippies to be. We are here too to help you through any worries or concerns you might have. There's always someone who can answer your questions however trivial or odd you might think they are, chances are there is going to be someone here to can help you out.

    Take care and try not to worry too much. You will be fine 😊

    Ali xx

    dear Richard -

    Aren;t you happy you found us?????  so welcome to your new family - the most supportive, understanding and loving group of Hippies on earth ...

    I saw that you are a self-employed brick layer ... well, to be honest, that would be a concern for me too - bilateral hip surgery and recovering from it might take a long time for you to go back to do your job ... it is so physical .... 

    is there any way you can get financial support - 

    I want to say to not worry about this as your health is more important than anything in the world,... even though it is true, it is a concern -

    what did your doctor tell you about going back to work?  

    well, first things first --- surgery first and then the road to recovery ... 

    we are all here for you !

    big warm hug

    renee

    Hi Richard, I am hoping to have bilateral surgery in a couple of weeks and would be very interested to hear how you got on with your surgery.
