    As one of the newest members can I wish you a speedy recovery and ask if you want an entry form for the next London marathon?

    Good luck

    Hi
    Take care and glad to hear that your op went well.

    How long did they keep you in hospital?

    My friend had her hips done and she looks amazing now.

    Take care and don't overdo it!

    No place like home is there, Debbie? I wish you a speedy recovery and pleased to hear that you were only in hospital a short while and that your bp righted itself fairly quickly.

    Luv

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Debbie

    Glad to hear that you are home and well. You are brave; I know that I need my knee doing, but I'm too nervous about it, so have put it off.
    Take care

    Hi had more trouble with bloods this time and feel a lot more tiered dont know if its because I only had other op in feb just want to feel normal again all my leg has started to go black think I will get the nurse to check this today when she comes out. In some ways its easier because I can rely on my other hip because I am not in pain with that one.hope this helps

    yes eventually I am hoping they will leave me alone for a bit now had enough of hospitals :roll: :roll:
    They think I might be able to put off having my knees done for a bit it's just whether their bit is the same as mine :oops: :oops:

    Hi Debbie,

    I do hope its your 'for a bit' time and hey with your hips done maybe your knees will behave better? I do hope so and also that your recovery is quick and that you don't go over do it. Cris x
