Having a pre-op assessment tomorrow for a Scarf Akin plus lateral release osteotomy :lol:

Bet you don't know what that is :roll: It's for a bunion with a few fancy bits thrown in 8)

Not in the slightest worried about the op, only concerned about my BP behaving and not having yet another uti (had 5 in the last 9 months!)

Please can you come in my pockets, whisper calming thoughts in my ear and turn my wee into water :)

    On pocket duty with my usual Stinking Bishop sandwiches and garlic soup. Wee into water, hmmmm, how bout Cherry B instead. :lol:

    Good luck with the op.

    Well you ain't a millions miles off there Delboy :lol: I was a Cherry B before I was married. Never really had any other option than to drink Cherry B way back in the 60s :P

    I lurve all cheeses and garlic is really the only natural thing that moves me these days, so thanks for that :)

    Water Iris? :lol: I'm a waterholic, no surprise that I have to get up umpteen times a night which isn't an easy task with a zimmer in the dim light :?

    Glad you'll be in my pocket Julie. However as the outfit I've selected has no pockets I think you might be more comfortable in my Louis Vuitton holdall, together with Iris, particularly with Delboy's stinking Bishop and garlic soup close at hand :D

    I shall be over the moon to get rid of the pain Barbara and as for shoes I'm already dreaming but I'll have to wait until the other foot's done too :lol:

    Many thanks

    I will be there too, complete with strawberries and fizz, both life-enhancing items. I know that recovery from a bunion op can be quite time consuming, so try not to get too impatient! If there is not enough room in the LV (I am somewhat bulky) then a Tes or Sainz placky bag will suffice, tho I would prefer a Wait or Marks if at all possible! I am sure it will all go well, cherrybim, let us know tho, please. DD

    Hi Cherry,
    Wishing you well for tomorrow. I know a couple of people who have it done and they never regretted it.

    The BP is always a problem. Mine goes up at the first sight of a white coat. So tomorrow we must all go Ommmm! Deep breathe in and slowly exhale. Could do without the smelly cheese though. :shock:

    Hi Cherrybim - glad you explained what the op will be - never heard of that one before. I had my op for hallux valgus (hammer toes/bunions) when I was aged 16. Fab result - pain free weight bearing once over the op.

    Sit down and write out a list of questions etc for your appointment tomorrow and of course we'll all be supporting you.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.
