Hi Everyone,
Well here I go again....asking for pocket duties.
I saw the consultant in June about the hip fracture and he said he would see me in 6 months time......CHRISTMAS!!!!! :shock:
Anyway I'm gradually getting sorer. If anything I'm limping more {with one crutch} than I was. Its the pain that's the problem so on Friday afternoon I rang the consultants secretary and explained that it was very sore and I wasn't due to see him until Dec {roughly....not got an appointment yet} She said she was a relief secretary and wasn't able to change his appointments but she would leave a note for his secretarywho would be in on Monday. That was fine......she said if I didn't hear from her feel free to ring back again.
I set the phone down......10 minutes later it rang....it was her....Mr Asaad had walked into the office as she set the phone down and she told him and he said "I'll see her at 6pm Monday night if that's OK with her"
How's that for service.....So please help.....don't know why I'm a bit apprehensive......I've been on these crutches 7 months with not much sign of any improvement so you would think things could only get better????
Love
Hileena

    You can pop me in your pocket. Hope it goes well for you.
    He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

    Aw Hileena, I wish you well at this appointment. Thank goodness you are being seen now and do not have to wait anymore time. Seven months is a very long time to see no improvement.

    Love

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    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.

    Hi
    Thanks Marie and Elna
    I'm really sore now {although it will ease off} {7.20am}
    I slept on the un-operated side for quite a while during the night although its not comfortable but I gave up the last couple of hours and rolled over onto my operated side :? I shouldn't have :?
    Love

    I'll be there. I think given what you are putting up with apprehensive is more than understandable. He clearly sees there is an issue if he is squeezing you in at 6pm on a Monday. Good luck ((((()))))
    Hey little fighter, things will get brighter

    Hi Meg, DD and LV

    Getting your posts reminded me.....got to do a list :lol:
    I've scribbled bits and pieces down as I've thought about them but need to sort it out.
    In December I was going to get another X Ray on the hip and one on my ankle {same side :( } That's the injury from 5 years ago {car going over my ankle} Its been diagnosed a long time ago with OA but seems to be getting worse.
    So with this being a very quick appointment don't know what he'll do.
    Love
    Hileena
    ps Thanks for the company :wink:

    Hi SW, Bubba, Mig and Barbara
    Of course there is room.
    It seems a long long time ......and is getting worse. At church yesterday there was at least 6 people who said I was limping badly or very unsteady....I was using one crutch which is normal for there.
    You aren't late Barbara...appointment isn't until 6pm tonight

    Love
    Eileen
