very low and tearful

constable

I've been to the doctors, didn't see my usual one who is brilliant but saw a fantastic doctor who actual deals with pain management.

He has put me on amytrypoline(mis-spelt) for the nights, and has suggested that I contact the hospital where he normally works to have hydro-theropy. He was discusted at the way I've been treated, and was gobsmacked that they let me go the next day on the main surgery. He asked about how physio was going and was shocked that I came home with nothing booked the only thing I received was some paper sheets as to what to do. So tomorrow will be fun.

Thanks to all of you again and will let you know what happens tomorrow.

Hi Karen
Im so sorry Iv have only just seen your post.
Gosh I feel for you, you poor thing, the treatment you have had has been awful.
Know wonder you are so tearful, but being like that is very common after an op, they are not sure why.
The amitriptyline at night will be a great help, and I really do hope that with this lovely doctor you will soon be on the way to recovery.
You take care of yourself
Lots of very gentle hugs coming your way...I wish I could give them for real.

I am pleased that your gp gave you amytrip to help relax you and help with sleep. I hope it helped and you slept quite well.
Your gp sounds very nice. The hydro will hopefully help you too,

Hello Karen

Sorry I am coming late into your thread but just wanted to say how sorry I am that things are so difficult for you and that you are feeling so very low. Sounds as if things may be moving forward in a postive way for you now though and I am so glad the doc was so good.

Thinking of you Karen, and really hoping that things improve for you soon.

Lots love Tilly xxx

Daylily, am I right in saying that your OH is disabled, know that feeling very well, but I am feeling better, and we do plod along dont we.

Joan, thanks, I am sleeping a lot better now, actually reduced the amount of pillows I have and that has made a big difference, except for I snore a lot more, Poor Hubby.


Bubbadog, thanks very much for your offer. I am feeling more on top of things now, sleeping well helps. And getting used to the amatryptoline during the day.

To all of you, you are all brilliant and I am so glad that I am part of a this bigger family with you lot.

Thanks to all of you

Hi Karen so glad you are feeling a bit better.

I have to admit to snoring with only the memory pillow now.
When I have new hip thinking of sleeping in the reclining chair cos hubby will only keep nudging me awake.

Take it easy, one day at a time as they say. Works for just about any troubles.
take care

Hi Karen
I have only just seen this thread. I dont come on the site as often and dont read nearly every one like i used to...i feel bit awful now about my comment on the glasses thread, sorry.
I hope your knee gives you less pain and that the tablets help you sleep. My friend has also just had her knee done a few days ago, I havent got in touch with her yet as family will be running round etc. I will let you and others who have asked me about it how it went etc.
I know how kids problems also affect us as we want to help them - I have had bad weeknd on this front so can imagine how you feel inside.
Hope today is better for you.

constable

Hi Oneday,

Don't worry, I am so glad that you said something otherwise you would still be thinking I was being unfriendly. I am sorry that you had a bad weekend, hope it is getting better for you now. Someone else put down that I had a knee replacement, it was my hip, but thats ok. And the tabs are working brilliantly, I'm getting a good night sleep. So I can cope with more things now.
