Laura, Lors23, you are not physically ready for work. Perhaps you will be in July, but that is two months away. I know you'll let them know how you really feel.

Loving thoughts & Aloha,

Soos

    Thank you so kind.

    I also got an appointment with my gp today about my lack of sleep and basically just told him how l was feeling after 2 hip replacements. He i now sending me for xrays later on today on both my hips an knee's he was a bit shocked that at my 6 week check up l did not get an xray.

    I have never had good knee's and alway walked with a light limp because of one but l have never had them xrayed. Now whats going through my head is l am going to be told l have OA in my knees. Am i looking at knee replacement next.

    So today l have a busy day l have a meeting at work which l have no clue when l will be back at them l an off to hospital to get xrays taken on both hips which l think are ok and my knee's which l don't think are ok. So l will have to wait a week for results.

    But thank you so much xxx

      Hi Laura,

      I am so glad with your report and plans for all the x-rays. I hope this will finally identify the cause (s) of your ongoing pain and the beginning of a meaningful recovery for you.

      I can fully appreciate the fear of yet another surgery, but my goodness woman you are halfway to 'Robowoman', so go for it if it allows you to live life more fully again.

      Please keep us posted on how you are doing and any results.

      L

      hi laura, 

      Good luck , darling -

      Just be true to your self -

      Interesting that no x-rays were taken at follow up appointment - 

      Our knees take a lot of abuse, don't they ? mine didd and still do - years of compensating for wonky walk , adding additional weight - then the surgeries ... and the whole healing and recovery, learning how to walk properly , keep our body in balance etc. ... 

      we are working so hard - 

      the xray will give a lot of information - 

      sending you love, light and healing 

      big warm hug

      renee

      Aloha Laura - I'm glad you're getting the x-rays. Not knowing what's actually going on is worse. I hope you're able to improve your sleep, too.

      Like Cels, I hope it's not OA in your knees.

      Please remember we're here thinking of you.

      Aloha, Soos
