Ready for some thing to eat more than any thing 😂
Yes I was hungry too, they gave me a menu and I ordered what I wanted, no restrictions...Chow down!!!
Glad it's all done who did it
Happy for you!! Hope you're feeling better already. The spinal does get ya back up and running sooner than GA. I remember before konking out, it was a really funny, panicky feeling because I couldn't move my legs. While they were positioning me and all that prep stuff, I was laying there trying not to panick because I couldn't move my legs.....then I woke up. :-). Spinal or GA - that loss of time is always a kicker. Happy new hip day to you!!
Yes, I think that's another plus side to spinal block - food not broth after!!
I don't know where you are but if your in a southeast Kent hospital avoid the baked potato at all costs 😳 Seriously it's like sawdust
I was hungry after the op so had a lovely salmon and cream cheese sandwich with salad and coleslaw yum
I couldn't feel my legs for ages but I knew they wee there so wasn't bothered I made the most of no pain....until it all wore off!
Ooh yes, I well remember the tingling in the legs as the spinal wore off.
Well done, now the hard work starts - getting the muscles back and working correctly.

Well done, wishing you a quick recovery. Spinal block with sedation is great. Remember they won't let you out until you've been to the loo, so order food accordingly!!
Onwards and upwards with recovery!
Oh yes - order the high bran and wholemeal alternatives
Definitely...one of my more memorable meals was fish pie, with.......baked beans!
Did you know ......... there is a 'Bristol Stool Chart' ... isn't it amazing what we discover.
I've heard of it, but thankfully never seen it!
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to being on the other side in late December. Hope your recovery goes well. Keep us posted.
