I have an appointment with my orthapedic surgeon tomorrow, check up on the op(s) on my right hip and to discuss the future of my left.

I am still in pain, walk with a limp & have arther in the joint so in theory the op was a success as they have saved the joint although I will need a THR at some point. i have my list of points & questions so am prepared.

Will keep you all up to date on how it goes.

Anne

p.s my doc hasn't yet typed up my rheumy referral from 3 weeks ago!!

    Hi Trisher, How are you?

    I am not too bad, coping. Work is exhausting if I could stick to normal hours it would be great but I am doing 10/11 hour days so I am exhausted. Weekends I could sleep for ever.

    Think I just want a magic pill to make me feel better.

    Cris, looking forward to more pics they really cheered me up last night. Primrose is beautiful. glad you liked my wee one.

    Hi Anne

    I am hoping the apt with the specialist goes well for you today too.

    Sounds as though you are all reday with your list :wink:

    Work sounds really hard for you at the mo - you have my sympathy - let us know what decisions are made.

    Love

    Toni xx

    Well back at work on my lunch at the mo.

    No major decisions made, went through my list and he examined both hips, looked at the xrays. It can take up to 18 months to see the full benefit of the op! I have to go back in 6 months and if it's still the same we will look at THR which is sooner than I thought.

    Not going to do anything with the left until the right is fully sorted out, which is a good think.
