    Hi Barbara. Am pleased to know you are making such good progress. It is a little cooler than it has been but still a bit warm for me. Seems it is going to be even hotter next week - oh dear - shall be melting quietly in a corner somewhere!

    Take care. (((()))) Beryl xx

    Afternoon all
    Hope you are all doing the best you can in this weather
    And a big thank you to Joan , Maria,Hileena, Elizabeth, SW, Debbie, Beryl ,and May
    I never ever forget how we are all in the same sought of boat on here, and how kind and supportive everyone is
    I didnt sleep last night but not done to bad,I think it must be the healing process but the pain has really kicked in today...
    On the good side I am much more organized well we are I should say...I have a list of things that have to go to bed with me....and our Hileena told me to leave a spare crutch upstairs so I have borrowed one and it is much easier that having one under your arm :roll:
    Has you can see by our Joan's post my new hip is flipper... :lol:
    May dont you dare apologies for being later I will go and have a look at your thread and see how you and hubby are going on
    Love to all of you xxxxxxxxx
    Love

    Sorry Barbara. Didn't notice you had this thread. Been keeping up with you in the cafe. Flipper is a good name for your new hip. Hope he (or is it she?) starts behaving soon and not giving you any pain.

    Hi dear Barbara

    So good to hear that you are doing well, have had a hair wash and will be sponging down the TEDS from now on after that joint experience! :shock: Sounds like the best idea! ;) Your sense of humour is great to hear. Best way to be. You take care, at least it was cooler today. I got some energy back today that I had completely lost the past few days.

    Look after yourself,

    Love and gentle hugs

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    My clips irritated me by the time they were due out too. The best bit about getting them out was the shower afterwards!

    It sounds like you are doing well - keep it up! :D

    Hi Barbara Have been thinking about you and wondering how you are getting on.. Glad you are making good progress. Am sure you are glad it's cooler, I know I am, but don't like the idea of it being even hotter later this week. Hope Flipper is behaving. Take care. Beryl. (((()))) xx

    Hello, I apologise for not looking in since Thursday but we had another death in the family, this one out of the blue.

    My word girl, you are doing so well. I am not surprised that things are hurting but that will pass with time, meanwhile you have the dullers which will help to ease matters. How are you feeling in yourself? Major surgery is a shock to one's system but hopefully you are feeling generally OK. Keep up the good work, don't do too much as these are still relatively early days, I am thinking of you and am still dead impressed you went ahead and did it. Go Barbara! Go Barbara! Go Barbara! DD

    You're doing so well, Barbara! And so organised! Clips out tomorrow. Won't that feel good? (Trust me, the answer to that is 'yes' :D ) Keep doing just what you're doing. It's working.

    Hi Barbara. I hope the pain has lessened.


    I still use carrier bags all the time.

    Hi Barbara
    Your good hip I'm afraid is taking the weight for you new hip so making the pain in the good one worse
    Are they planning doing the other hip any time soon
    Keep taking it slow and steady you will get there

    I think Maria is right but it is still early days yet. I'm sure things will start to ease soon. You'll probably feel much better when you get the pins out. Once you've got your other hip done, you could maybe ask about getting new hands.

    Hi Barbara,

    Just popping in to see if you have been dancing yet, as i have read you are not quite ready for that yet! Take it easy ((((hugs)))) would a walking frame help take off some of the weight from other hip? or have you already got one? Stairs are a nightmare!

    Hope you feel better soon
    luv n hugs Rose x
