:D:D:D hi all

the surgeon saw me called me into his room and asked how I was since he last saw me , I was telling him that since the pysio i had a bit more movement , he asked if I tryed without the cruthes I said yes the pysio asked me to try but all I got was too steps and the pain in my hip was too bad , he said better to stay on them .

He said I think we will leave it for a while , but I want you to tell your gp when it is so bad for you but as your still too younng might consider the surgey in 10 years time , there noway he would go near me with the knife until I am 60 or 70, one thing I like is I can decide when I see him again.

    glad you got back safe and sound from your hosp appointment with the roads being so bad...and that you got something out of seeing the docs. At least you can go back when you need to now':mrgreen:'

    hope you're not in too much pain over Xmas. happy hols! iris x

    Hi Mike

    I hope that doesn't mean you'll be on crutches for 10 years!

    Glad he's left the door open for you.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope this weather improves. We've just had a hail storm accompanied by thunder and lightning. Lightning frightens me!

    nice to know we are still to young for somthing ! :lol:

    how do you feel about having to wait that long though

    love the tree ! 8)
    I was shocked when he said 10 years , but I was glad that he said to see gp if I get worse , it means no more phoning to book ambulances and getting the riot act read to me ( all the stress was affecting my diabetes) well I hope you have a lovely christmas and a painfree 2010

    Hi Mike
    Sounds as if the appointment turned out well......at least you're too young LOL they ndidnt say that to me.....kept me on paracetamol for 7 yrs then when I went to the surgery ready for a fight was sent straight to the hosp.n immediately after the x ray...consultant said you need 2 new hips......he didnt say I was too young :(
    Oh well....like it was said......hope your not on crutches for 10 years LOL
    Have a great Christmas
    Love
