Hi
I have made an appointment to see the Ortho doc to discuss my right THR. I am still having issues with groin pain, and it feels like something is catching. It is very painful and is causing weakness. I struggle getting in and out of the car- needing to lift the leg with 2 hands. I wake at night if I move or turn over due to pain. And walking is getting harder.
I did tell him last time but he said it would improve if I kept up with the physio exercises. Which I do, and it hasn`t! The Arthroplasty nurse said it sounds like the cup of the THR is a bit `proud`, so I will ask again.
My poor Dad is still plodding on with his chemo, next one Friday. But to make things worse he broke his ankle at the weekend so is not very mobile , as it is a bad break and he has to be non weight bearing. He is not good with crutches, so has a zimmer which he is managing with -ish!
I would love some support from you wonderful peeps please, Thursday 4pm.
Thanks and take care all xx

I hope you get the answers you need and yes, I will be thinking of you.
I also hope that your dad is as OK as he can be with his chemo. His ankle situation is not going to make his life easy at the moment, will it?
Please let us know how you get on.
Take care,

I like your abstract title, NB, it's rather interesting. I hope your Dad is getting on as best he can and I wish you well for your appointment. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hope all goes well for you and your DadHe 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.
