Hi
I had big week last week.
I saw my gynae doc who has listed me for a hyst next Feb. :( Not brill, more surgery, but will sort one problem for good.
Then i saw my orthopaedic doc, for the results of the assessment of my other (dysplastic) hip. Well.....the `good` news is I can have the PAO (peri acetabular osteotomy) to realign my hip socket to correct position. ( cutting my pelvis in 3 places and screwing it back in place :shock: )
And thats the good news!! I am seeing him agian after the hyst to discuss the plans more.
So, I am gong to try to enjoy Christmas before embarking on another round of surgery.
The real good news is I have a holiday in the sun booked for the summer :D:D
Hope you are all ok, and have a great Christmas xx
NB

    hI, Sorry you face so much surgery, all I can say is my hystorectomy, at 30, although it stopped my hopes of kids, made me feel so much better, I got my life back! :shock: :lol:

    Enjoy Christmas!!! :D:D:D love Sue

    Sorry you have to face these things, but I had a hysterectomy at 34 and have never looked back or regretted it.

    I got my life back, too - the following year I was taken on as a mature student at a London college and my life took a completely different turn.................life does that at times.

    I'm another honestly I was 34 when I had mine, people say you change you don't, only if you let it.

    I like the others felt a lot better after.

    Technology had advanced so much since then and now operation wise.

    Have a happy Christmas and a Better New Year.

    love Trish xxx

    Gosh NB. What a lot to look forward to. It's good that you sound so positive about it all. I had my hyst when I was 52 so nothing unusual about that. I did have to have a bladder repair at the same time. Was the best thing for me in that I wasn't anaemic any more
    I shall think of you when I light one of my Christmas Candles this time. You going to have to be a brave girl, yet again. good luck.
    Sue. I'm so sorry circumstances were such that you had to have your chance of children was taken away from you so early. You must feel very sad at times, but then, the freedom it gives you to enjoy other aspects of life is a blessing. I hope you and J will enjoy Christmas with your 5 cats. I don't think they will all go into hiding when they smell the turkey!.
    Trisher, lovely your son is coming home for Christmas

    God bless you and have a lovely christmas
    Joy

    Hi Nearly,

    That's a big opp but try and put it to the back of your mind and have a great time over Christmas and at least it sounds like they are gong to get your hip sorted? I really hope 2010 is better than you may think it will be. Cris x

    Hi and thanks for your replies.
    I have one more day at work before I have a short break over Christmas, so plan to enjoy it and put the op`s out of my mind.
    It is good to have a place to come and sound off if I need to, and you were all a great source of support around when I had my THR.
    But tell me to shut up if start to moan too much :oops:
