hello fellow hippies

had a phone call this morning to confirm operation is deffinatly going ahead. There will be me and two others having there hips done next week on a 15 bed ward. The other two will be first timers so at least I can put there worries to rest I am still scared but that is natural for me because I don't do needles. 

At at least I can keep you all posted from my iPad now I can get on here with it. They are giving me a room on my own because the other two paitents are men. The ward is a mixed ward but it was the last time I was there in April. 

I really cant wait to be off all these meds and just have pain I can deal with. This has been a heck of a journey and a long ride to the end. The light at the end of the tunnel at last is shining bright. 

I will have to stay in hospital for at least a week because of what went wrong the first time. ( nothing to do with the op ) 

so I know I can count on my hippie friends to keep my spirits up. 

If if all goes well again like last time I should be sitting in the chair by my bed by Dinnertime I hate laying in bed being in so much pain and having to lay here day in and day out has done my head in. 

My my surgeon has sorted out all the same people on his team even the anethatist so at least I know them all 

any way woo hoo not long now 😊👍

      Hi Patricia 

      thank you you I won't be having my op till Tuesday morning. 

      They get you on the ward the day before so they can go through everything with you without rushing which I find a lot better. Gives you time to get any questions answered and they make the time to answer them

      Hi Kate

       thank you. I am considering a diary type thread so I can do a  full account of each step this time. 

      Yes last sat time was not a very good experience I am so glad that has not happened to anyone else and I can only put it down to a rare occurance. I can't  put it off I am in too much pain now so I will have to see how it goes. 

      Main thing will be that my hip, knee and ankle will be fixed back in line and no longer hurt so much that I can,t walk  and I have a lot of work ahead to build my muscles back in both legs now. 

      I will ill be 4 weeks down the road by the time you go for yours so I will make sure once I am home to post often on my progress 👍
