well i just got off the fone with the hospital, and guess what, I made a huge boo boo, it seems that I got my referral dtes and my pre opp. dates mixed up!!! I think I'm losing it altogether, so my actual pre opp. date was june 4th, so I have another 6 weeks under Scottish law, but they will let me know the date by the 24th july, if that makes any sense so happy friday everyone, I just watchthed this morning and saw Amanda say goodbye, she said it's been a year the happiest of her life!! it only seems like yesterday to me when Holly was leaving to have her baby, I don't to gotten any nearer, I'm still sitting here despratly lonely, and wanting my life back.
Oh Lynne that's a bit of a let down......at least you got some clarification. Have a good cry........get a cake.....phone a friend....be kind to yourself.
I remember the preop wait, I couldn't think straight because the pain was so constant. I forgot so many things which isn't like me.
Hi Lynne, hope you hear about date soon. I had my pre op assessment on 4th June too and received a letter last Saturday with the 20/7 for my op...I had to turn it down as my hubby is down south. Rang them to advise and now have a date of 21/8 😍 this is my second hip replacement; I had my first (left one) replaced in January.
I really hope you hear about your operation soon. If you have heard nothing by next Friday phone again. Then keep phoning every week till you get what you want. It is the only way.
Hi everyone, many thanks for all your lovely comments, i'm so glad that you are all there and you understand what it's like, that's a whole year I'll never get back, and at 64 I can't afford to waste them lol, so now just gotta wait, sitting here watching 1950's sci fi movies
What about singing?! I see you used to sing in a band......Can you get some backing music and use your singing voice again?! something to cheer you up maybe?
I love the 50's sci-fi movies ... Twilight Zone being my favorite !!!
I just want to say something you probably already know - please, do not look back on the past year and think that it was wasted ... that is sooo depressing -
it sucked big time, I am sure and thorougly understand - I too have those thoughts and also regrets to boot ... spiralling down into the abyss - it is a lonely place ... and for you, waiting for such a long time for something that needs to be done, must be horrible ...
someone once said : When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at, change
be gentle and kind with your self today ... you are not alone and there is great love for you here ...
