Going into hospital on Monday 1st June

Bones, joints and muscles

for my first hip replacement! I am as cool as a cucumber .I felt very worried up to a few days ago, now It's all gone. I am in so much pain that I wish I could go in tomorrow!  My freezer is bursting with food and also my  fridge ( thanks to M&S) ; I am packing a small case, in fact it's the same case I use to go on holiday. 

Best of luck to all of you at whatever stage of this journey you are...

Big hugs and kind thoughts.

Hi briskwalk.

I wish you luck and hope all goes well. We will all be here when you feel up to letting us know how it all went. I know that feeliong of so much pain. You will be glad you don't have that pain any more. I have been there myself and I am still suffering even worse with the right side. Although it has been and still is being a struggle. I am glad the REAL pain has gone from my left side.

I hope all goes well for you.

Good morning Ella,  2 more nights to go !!!    looks like you have everything in order and are well prepared, which takes away a lot of worry off your mind - I wasn't really afraid of the surgery but more about what would happen once I am back home ...I live alone and had not found this forum or anybody who could really think with me ... relax your body and mind and know that all is well - take care and good luck on Monday - warm hug

Good luck Ella, you have got tot the same stage as everyone does I think, cool calm and collected and ready to go, to end the pain. Monday will be the first day of the rest of your life believe me...... it's wonderful to wake up and not feel so negative about everything. (((((Hugs)))) Gillxx

At the moment the other hip doesn't bother me, but I have seen the xrays and it doesn't look good...I have to talk to the consultant about it.

It's good that they can operate both at the same time ...I am glad it went well for you.

Hig hugs

I am sure six weeks is a long time to wait, but when I compare it to four years in constant pain, it's nothing!

I am glad it's all over for you!
