    Well @Bella59 that's come round quickly I bet for you.

    I take hit hip number 1 is ready to take the lead to support hip number 2😊

    You are an old hand now and know exactly what you're doing so should do even better than last time.

    I wish you all the very best and look forward to hearing about your recovery.

    Take care

    Will be thinking of you on Tuesday @Bella59. I’d be very interested to hear how your recovery goes. I had my rt hip replaced 2 months ago and the lt hip is being replaced on 22 April. My consultant had always planned to do both ops within 12 weeks as they were both in the same poor condition. In fact we only decided on the morning of the first op which hip to do first!

    Good luck with your recovery.

    Thanks girls will let you know how it goes.Pmas my two hips were also severe only found out last May.At first I thought it was my polymyalgia misbehaving,well it was but my both hips we're also bad.I am on nhs waiting list for replacements was told in January could be around eighteen months.I could not take pain for that time so decided had to use savings and go private.My sister has been waiting for almost three years.I have been unable to get about for three years as Ra is still not controlled I have been on ten different meds.My knees still swell had them replaced ten years ago.I wish you well with your next operation.x

    Good luck @Bella59 . You've been there before and know the drill so I trust all will go equally well this time. Do come back and let us know how you are. My fingers are crossed for you.

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
