Hi
I got my letter today, I will have THR Thursday 3rd Sept. NEXT WEEK omg!!! that is - All being well after I have seen aneathetist on Friday, I cant see there being a problem seeing as I havent heard anything from the cardiologist so hopefully the old ticker is OK.
So it looks like its finally arrived, but I am still sh** scared, but just think soon I could have be virtually pain free. Yipee

    Hi
    No worries I would never forget the support from the people on here, and even if I did become pain free ...ha ha yeah I wish.... as I still have arthur in virtually every other joint in my body, so I dont think I will be going anywhere, anytime, I have become used to dipping into my favourites box on my computer and Arthritis Care is there, just waiting for me to click on it.
    Cheers

That will be you in just over a week :wink: and you will still catch some of the nice early autumn sunshine! jk

    :) Dont worry it's not an awful op at all, the first couple of days are the worst just getting moving , it's more uncomfortable and awkward than painful. Good Luck

    Hi Denise
    I am so pleased for you. It is nervewracking, waiting, but honestly it is not as scary as you imagine. And it is sooooo worth it.
    I will be thinking of you, and if you need to chat , you know where I am!! :D
