hello fellow hippies

i am layed in bed and have just been prepped for my right hip op at 10:30 am in the morning. I still have to have a shower but I am sure I will manage with help. I will report back once. M fully awake and sitting n my chair which should be just after dinner time if all goes the same way as last time. 

I cant ant wait to be out of this pain and once fully fit again to be able to walk my dogs cut the grass and go shopping again

thankyou all for your support over the last 9 months

    Well had my shower. It is rather difficult to do one handed. 

    Gotmy op gown on just a case of waiting now. 

    So so scared even though I have been through this once before and I was fine and I have the same team I am so scared. My favourite nurse as just come back from leave so that has given me a boost at least

    any way guys

    see you on the other side X

    Hi

    Hang on in there.

    Its funny isnt it.........my 2nd one I was really scared and my first one had been OK.  You would think you would be quite confident  being an "old hand" at it but I wasnt  biggrin

    You'll be fine

    Love

    By now, you must be out of surgery - it's 12:30 p.m!  Hope all went well, and you have emerged from the tunnel...!  Look forward to your reports

    Hailea, how are you?  Recovering I hope.   I was thinking of you as I had my staples out and went for my physio session.

    I have been told to walk faster .... to counteract the limp, as the leg has pressure on it for a shorter time.  I was always a fairly fast walker (I'm a commuter, so it's charge along, elbows at the ready), but I found it so easy to go along without a stick when I speeded up.

    Let us all know how you are Hailea, we're all on your side here.

    How are you Hailea?  I was thinking of you as my staples were removed.

    Had my physio session, and was told to walk faster (my normal speed) to counteract the penguin-like limp.  This works a treat for me, hardly any limp at all when I go at speed.

    Let us all know how you are whenever you can.

    Best wishes from your 'family' of hippies

    Hailea,

    I hope you are now tucked up in your ward, as comfortable as possible.  Take care and no running after junior doctors, they need their strength to strike😄😀
