Sorry its late notice, but would you believe I only got the letter today, its supposed to be for injections in my hips, but I am going tomorrow to tell them I dont want them, Iv decided to have the THR instead....I dont believe I am saying this :shock: but the pain has got so bad now, I have no choice.
So I need you all there, to make my mouth move, and to say I want a THR....if you dont I will chicken out, and my mouth will freeze.
Sorry I know you are all busy with pockets duties already....if you can spare an hour at 1.30
Love

    Hi Barbera..

    It's a date.. I will be sat at home doing nothing.. 1.30 is just the right time i am out of my morning stiffness lol...
    I shall be whispering in your ear THR.. repeatedly till you say it lol..
    Joking aside.. you are obviously making the right decision for you.. You have thought about it and decided it will be the best option.. hopefully the doc will understand this.. maybe right down any questions you have about the THR so you can ask them tom too..
    Will be with you tom, so i hope you have big pockets as i am sure you will have many people supporting you..
    Big hugs ((((((((((x))))))))))

    Oh Barbara,
    Of course we will be with you. I know that this has been a big decision for you and there will be a lot of planning ahead for you. I also know you have not come to this decision lightly.

    Head up shoulders back you can do this flower.
    Gentle hugs,

    Barbara,

    Will be there with you in spirit and mind, I understand what you are going through as it is such a massive decision. Just like when I decided to go for the fusion, just think of how much easier it will be once it is all done and dusted and you have recovered from then op. You will probably be walking down a nice country lane thinking whiy didn't I go for it sooner.

    Best of luck for tomorrow.

    Oh my! My brave, brave friend, this decision has taken a deal of reaching but you go, girl! I will be there - you know me, never afraid to speak up! - so if your mouth won't quite make the necessary sounds I'll do it for you. I promise. 1.30? I am there already, sitting and waiting for you. DD

    Oh Barbara it does get the point when you can bear no more. The THR did rid me of that awful pain and I could deal with so much more afterwards. It's not an easy decision I know but I don't regret it one bit.

    I will be with you tomorrow.

    Hi Barbara, well done for making the decision to go ahead with the THR. I know it couldnt have been an easy decision but im sure its the right thing for you.
    I will be in your pocket waiting to hear them words ''THR Please''
    Im sure we will get you through tomorrow as you have some strong support & think of the painfree hip after the op. :grin:
    Can i have a pocket with no crumbs please & i'll bring the egg sarnies.
    Take care & let us know how you get on.

    A very big thank you Tracy, Tony, Ironic,Rob, and DD
    You are all so lovely....when I say I couldnt do this without you, believe me I mean it.
    3 times I have put it off, but like you all say , I know the time has come.
    Has some of you know I have been waiting for the letter to have the hip injections, its been around 2 half months, but the last few weeks have been agony.
    So its pointless having the injection,I did ring and they said the letter was posted last thurs, still short notice, she said to come in has normal and have a chat :shock:
    Sorry I am such a wimp....but again thank you all...and Rob good luck with your ankle fusion...I do hope it goes well for you.
    Love to you all

    Your pockets are obviously going to be bulging---one glance down each side will remind you of your brave decision. You will state it.May I come, with a mini hot water bottle?
