Hi,
I have a "day operation" on Friday 8am. At least thats what they called it.
I dont quite know what to expect....he said it was aspiration of the hip {one that has had the THR}
I dont know a lot else so i would appreciate some support on Friday please.
All animals, crutches/walking aids etc welcome :lol:
Love
Hileena

    Dear Hileena,

    I wish you all the best on Friday and hope it goes well and helps you/helps find out what the problem may be.

    I am off for a half day at the hospital this morning, having shoulder jabs under sedation. Oh joy. :wink:

    Chin up,

    Love

    Hi Hileena,
    I'll be in your pocket Friday, waiting for any operation is a bit scary I know, but Hileena I'm sure everything will go well.
    Sending love and a big hug ((())) X

    Hi Hileena
    I will be in your pocket Friday, sorry I cant help, apart from when I had my hip camera and injection last week I had a general and I was amazed at how quickly I came round off it, they must used different stuff when its not a long op.
    Good luck with it xx

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the post. I've just been on to the hospital....I'm not one of these people that can just go in and say "OK get on with it I dont want to know"
    I want to know whats happening :D ....
    So apparently its an aspiration of the hip that I have had the THR in because of pain I'm having in it....
    She says its done .....with a scan being done at the same time to check where the needle is going etc {under local anesthetic} and I'll be out shortly after that......well maybe an hour {if everything goes OK} and told to go and have coffee and sit for a while then go home.
    Sounds OK .....Doc told me a day operation so I thought I would be there for the most of the day :lol:
    My appt is for 8am but she says there are 5 in front of me so bring a good book :lol:
    Love
    Hileena

    Hileena yeah a good book is essential..or like me 5 mags.. :lol: to be honest I am quite lucky, has I sometimes have a reaction to the injection...so they do me early then they can keep an eye on me for a few hours...but I think this is wearing thin, the last two havent produced any reaction,... :roll: :lol:

    It's really good that you found out what's going to be happening and how long you're likely to be there. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning.
