    Thanks for the posts......2 lists to be exact LOL
    One for the consultant on Tuesday and one for the nurse practitioner on Thursday....thats my pre op assessment.
    Dont know about any other "hippies" but thinking of the OT stuff i think there are things i could do without this time......save cluttering the place up LOL

    Love
    Hileena

    See Hileena you are a pro at the op marlarky ... knowing what equipment you will and wont use. Interestingly though I used some equipment second time round that I did not use first time - never got on with the trolley last time - liked it this time, same with the perching stool.

    How are the lists going?

    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 Hileena,

    Deep breath and keep your note book with you over the weekend so you can jot things down when ideas come to you.

    Have a night off tonight and switch off if you can.

    Good luck for Tuesday,


    lv, Ix

    Hi Hileena

    what time's your appointment Tuesday?
    we will be with you for sure :wink:

    having another hip op is a lot to consider Hileena, we know that, but hopefully it will give you back your mobility..... and that has to be worthwhile.

    we'll need to organise pigeon post for you when you go in for your op (if you want) so's you have our support and good wishes around you even when you can't post on the forum.

    Cris helped me so much with her fantastic pigeon post contact so I know how helpful it is. there's a list somewhere of pigeon volunteers and I'm adding my name to it too :wink:

    love and ((((hugs))))

    Hi Hileena,

    Flower you will be fine. Its going to be a bit daunting for you as you have been through it before so know what your letting your self in for.

    Take the lists and make sure you get time to ask the questions you need answers for.

    Pigeon duties do help (iris it was my pleasure!) and its a two way thing.. we worry about one of our number being 'missing'.

    Get your self big pockets for Tuesday and sending a ((( ))) and a bucket of hopes it all goes well. Cris x
