Two weeks to go packing my bag and
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hello fellow hippies
two weeks today ( as long as nothing goes wrong ) I will be in the same ward I was in 8 months ago having my right hip replaced.
I have been been busy the last few days packing my bag and wrapping presents. I have worked out that if I am in for the same. Ammount of time as last time I won't get home till 2 days before Christmas. Eve so I still have a lot to sort out before I go in. Shopping almost done but wrote a list for other 1/2 to get stuff in that won't keep. still waiting on some parcels but presents I have to send out are done.The tree is up and so are the decorations. I am getting worried in case I get cancelled again. But I have been promised that if I do I will be in the first week they go back after Christmas.
I hope ops all of you getting the bad weather are safe it is really bad here. I am glad I can't get flooded out. It is that bad

thanks. Well anything to help with the boredom. I hate hospitals and find them very hard to stay so I have a mobile DVD player so will be taking some films in with me. I am taking my iPad so I can watch TV because the one on the ward was broken so probably still is. all the usual stuff Tshirts & shorts. To wear in bed and during the day. ( easier for nurses to see if there are any problems if they can see the colour of your skin. ) I usually travel light so just a small weekend bag. Makes me laugh when I see folk arrive with big suitcases as if they going on holiday or staying for a year.

The TED stockings are a real pain. In hospital I got the nurses to help, at home, my wife was unable to move them, so I showered with them on, and she used a hairdryer on them to dry them in-situ.

I was advised not to 'actively' clean the scar area, just let the water run over it.
I know what you mean - it felt really wonderful.
