Hi Everone

I got a phone call this afternoon from my surgeons secretary to let me know that I am going into hospital on Thursday to have my operation on Friday. It was quite a shock and the nerves are kicking in already. Got loads to do so at least I will be busy. Hope you can all make the time to jump into my pocket for my big day xx

    Already there! Just think how good it will be afterwards, at least you havent got much time to think about it now. Know you will be fine and your pockets will be bursting by then. xxx :lol:

    Hi Jean,

    Its a bit of a shock to have it through so quick but it might be better than knowing the date for a long time if that makes sense?

    Its gong to freak you out for a min but as Anky says concentrate on the after time when you have the pain gone from the hip and can get a whole chunk of you life back again.

    Will be in your pocket and thy will take care of you. Good luck and fingers crossed you can keep your worries down and don;t get too wound up. Cris x

    I wish you two new hips in excellent working order, weejean.

    And a quick recovery.

    And the patience to let everyone else do the housework for as long as necessary.

    Good luck weeJean. I have had one THR and it was plain sailing. I know you are having both done! I do hope you have a good 'team' at home to look after you.

    Take care

    Magenta - Thanks for your support and being there for me xx

    Anky - Glad that you will be with me and I am going to be so busy giving my husband and son all their "to do" lists etc that I wont have much time to worry about anything before I go into hospital xx

    Cris - It is a shock to think that my Op is less than a week away but I agree with you that its better this way. I am very nervous but also excited that someday soon I will be able to walk again and not be in as much pain as I am at the moment. I will have huge pockets so you can all fit in and be there with me xx

    Toni - Thanks for being there for me. I will take full advantage of the recovery, loads of telly, chocolate and talking to you guys all day xx

    Mig - So happy you will be with me, got Sooky packed and ready to go xx

    DD - It is exciting, I havent been able to walk very good for about ten years and I have missed out on so much but I will be making up for it soon. I am making a list of all the things I want to do once I am back on my feet. Thanks for the support you have given me over the last few weeks xx

    Anita - Thanks for your good luck wishes, I really appreciate it xx

    Sticky - Hopefully I will recover quickly so I can take over the housework etc. I will try my best to be patient and not be too hard on my poor Husband, he really is a star but shhhhhhhh dont tell him I said that xx

    Elizabeth - Its good to hear that you had no problems after your THR, my surgeons have told me that the recovery for having the two done is not that much harder or longer than having one done. I have a wonderful Husband and grown up son who are so supportive and my Mum will be hovering around to make sure everything is being done properly xx

    Joan - I have met so many people on this forum who have had new hips and its great that I can talk to you all about it as you know what its like. Thanks for your support, it means so much xx

    Hi Jean
    I will be in pocket duties....we can be very well behaved ...just listen for us under the bed....sometimes we sound like little mice.....we are with you all the way.....and I really do wish you well with everything.
    I am sure with it being quite new...you will get the very best of attention.
    Love

    Barbara you have no idea how much support and comfort all you guys have given me over the last few weeks. I honestly dont think I could do all this without you all. I have two wonderful surgeons who will be doing the operation together and the nurses and physios in the ortho ward are fantastic as well so I am sure I will get the very best care. I am so lucky to have all this.

    I will have the biggest pockets so that everyone can jump in and just think, we can sit up all night in the hospital together feasting on all the chocolates and stuff my visitors bring xx

    Hi Jean,
    Well a shock to be sure but it will soon be over and then you can concentrate on the recovery. It will be great to have your mum there to look after you and it looks like you will be getting some well earned TLC when you get back home. I know it won’t be easy but I think that you are prepared so that is half the battle won.
    Try and enjoy your weekend and yes keep the jotting pad near you for all the instructions and to do list. :grin:

    Hey Ironic

    It will be great to have my Mum around to help out although I am not too sure my husband would agree :grin: I am having a lazy weekend and will get everything organised Monday and Tuesday. I am having a lovely family dinner on Tuesday night then having a nice day out with hubby on Wednesday. I am still very nervous but I know I can do it and will be back o my feet before I know it. Thanks for your support xx
    Big Hugs
