    Hi,

    Sorry to hear your THR has been cancelled yet again.  Its awful when you have made arrangements with family etc, one cancellation is bad enough but three!!  I hope all goes ahead next Thursday and wish you the best of luck.

    Oh what a bummer, judiwoo. Hope it all goes well next week. I am waiting for a hip revision and it has been put back 6 or 7 weeks as I need dental work. And that's before I have even been given a date for the op. Do you think psyching yourself up and getting all ready and then not going in makes the pain worse, muscles tensed up and all that? maybe you need to give yourself a treat - all in the interests of medicinal needs of course!lol

      The surgeon is taking out a metal on metal, and putting in ceramic/ceramic. The m-o-m is a Corail Pinnacle. No idea what the new one will be. I just got a letter with op date - 26th August. But that will only be 5 weeks after a tooth extraction and they say it should be 6 weeks, so will be phoning the orthopaedic department tomorrow.
