Hi All,

Sh went in ok and was either seeing the anesthetist and the surgeon tonight or in the morning. She seems ok and all I can say is they better look after her :lol:

The evil one goes tomorrow and she will be so much better without him! I love how free I am with other peoples joints :wink:

Will keep you posed when I hear. Cris xx

    Hi Val, Berty, Vonski, Sue and Marion,

    Have just passed your messages on and Iris said to thank you ans tell you she is very calm about it all and its thanks to all the good vibes coming from the forum.

    She is first on the list which is good and I so hope it will all go well and easy for her. Guess we all do eh? Thanks again and she sends hugs to you all too. Cris xx

    Glad you're keeping us informed Cris.

    I'm so glad Iris is calm it's probably all those calming draughts you sent :wink: If she's first on the list it should all be over by about 10 a.m., let's hope so.
    Love, Legs x

    Dear Cris, thank you for keeping us informed about Iris. I would think she would be calm, that is our Iris, through and through. I was first on the list and it was all systems go at 9. 40 am, in theatre at 9.45 am prodded and "poked" :shock: and I was out like a light a few minutes later. :smile: She's a brave lass. She will be fine. I feel it in my old arthritic spine. :smile:

    Aw, bless our wonderful Iris. She could well be back in her bed now but whoosy. I do hope she can take the GA like I do. We love each other. :grin:

    HI all

    got an update from Iris at 1.30 this afternoon. Bit late posting it :oops:

    She's out of surgery and all went well :grin:

    I think those of us who think Iris is a gutsy lady are right - she was allowed a spinal rather than a GA :eek: She says it was great and she never felt a thing :grin: They even gave her kneecap a wash and brush up :wink:

    She's being well looked after on the ward. Plenty of pain relief. Confined to bed and laid flat. Pretty tired but otherwise fine.

    wow what a lady eh? I'm so pleased that the evil one has gone :grin:

    WOnky xx

    Wonky that is great news thankyou.

    Iris well done, I am pleased you are now back on the ward and being well looked after. (good job as you have a lot of pocket dwellers that they would have to answer to :smile: )

    Rest now and take care
    Love Juliepf x

    So pleased I had a quick look on the forum before going for a nap, so happy for her that it is over and I am sure no one is more pleased than our Iris. What good news. She'll be up and out of bed tomorrow. Bless her.

    Do send Iris my love and tell her to take all the medication going if there is the slightest suspicion that she is in discomfort.

    What a love,

    Do send my bestest , best, onward and upwards, now dear Iris. after today that is.

    Thank you wonky so much for letting us know.

    Love
