Yeah it does seem that way. But better to deal with this now than to have it after my op. I think that would cause even more issues.

It isn't a cold. It is just an infection. Easy to shake off once the antibiotics kick in.
I am sorry you are having a hard time. I had a really bad time after having my first op done in April. I went through hell and back with all the issues I had.
You will get your low days and that is the good thing about this forum. We have all been there and know how you feel.
Sleep is the best healer. That I can promise you You have to remember you have gone through one of the most major ops you may ever go through. It is just short of trauma from a major accident but more controlled. So you just have to pamper yourself a lot and treat yourself.
Maybe start a new hobby to keep you occupird while you heal. You will feel much better for it.
I promise you. You will feel much better in a few more weeks it does knock you for 6.
I have had a very hard time. Much worse than most. But I got over it and even thopugh I am still suffering waiting for my right hiip to be done because it has been collapsed for almost 7 months I know I will have my life back some time soon. Just try and stay positive on your good days. I promise you won't regret it. xx

Well done on getting your shower. It does make you feel better to have a good wash. I know what you mean about your leg. I kept forgetting to do that after a few days. Are you on pain meds ?
If you are in pain maybe you need a little more or something else to help with the pain. It is still early days for you.

Then I dry my legs and stockings out with a hairdryer
Quite a game, which my fantastic wife (I'd be lost without her) joins in with - I usually say to her in a child-like voice "Mummy, can you dry my legs please", and we have a good laugh together.
Well done on your achievement - consider yourself awarded a gold star for effort.
Who cares what leg you put forward first, as long as you're not harming the new joint
Best Wishes,
Graham X

i am not that worried at least I have got it sorted quick. I will be in hospital for my second ( right hip ) op on December 14 th. Op being done on 15 th. So everything should be fine. Got to phone the secretary next week to say tablets finished and the infection is gone. It is only tonsillitis at least it isn't a cold.
Hugs go to you too renee hope you are well X

Have to be strong. Not much I can do about it although was really annoyed the hospital made me wait so long.
I called the secretarys bluff and phone the ward to see if they were taking in hip paitents . They said they had been for over 4 weeks so once I called her bluff she had no where else to go.
I just want out of this pain and to be abel to walk and go out and see the world again. The weather might have a say in that for a while but it won't be long till spring is here again.
