J’ai eu trois prises de sang, des prélèvements nasaux et sous les aisselles, ainsi que la mesure de la pression artérielle et du taux d’oxygène dans le sang. L’infirmière m’a également pesé et mesuré la taille. Elle m’a montré comment monter et descendre d’un lit et m’a donné un livret sur l’opération, la récupération à l’hôpital et comment s’asseoir, etc. Elle m’a conseillé d’acheter un surélevage de toilette et un cadre, ainsi qu’une chaise semblable à celle sur laquelle j’étais assis : droite, ferme, avec des accoudoirs, que nous n’avons pas, donc nous verrons si nous pouvons en trouver une d’occasion. Je devrai porter des bas de contention, malheureusement, et je quitterai l’hôpital avec des béquilles. Mon opération est lundi et je n’ai pas vraiment envie qu’elle arrive.
Devrait être « Had not » au lieu de « Has » 
Je ne peux pas non plus prendre de douche ou de bain tant que les points de suture ne sont pas retirés, ouf.
I had mine to. 3 and a half hours it took. Had to answer questions, blood pressure, pulse, ecg, height and weight, blood taken, urine sample and mrsa swabs in nose, mouth and groin.
No talk of op really, instructions or guidence 
Best of luck, im sure it will be fine xx
Si vous contactez les services de santé au travail, ils vous indiqueront où obtenir les articles dont vous avez besoin, vous allez bien. Où avez-vous votre opération ? J'ai eu la mienne à l'hôpital Spire de Norwich, ils étaient excellents et vous mettaient à l'aise.
Hi Wendy
Best think of the destination: a life without hip ache.
The TEDs are actually quite warm and comforting at this time of year. I left the hosiptal on crutches and it is amazing how kind people are when they see you coming.
I have bolsetered my sofa with pillows to ensure my bum sits quite high - thus my knees are lower than my hips,

Oh, and I had a shower before leaving the hospital - waterproof dressings and a walk-in shower is all you need.
La mienne n'a duré que 30 à 45 minutes et j'ai seulement vu l'infirmière.
I think i spent more time waiting around than anything else haha
Je suis dans un hôpital privé à Peterborough, je suis un patient du NHS. J'ai déjà un dispositif de préhension et un aide pour chaussettes. Heureusement, je ne serai pas seul quand je rentrerai chez moi, donc j'aurai de l'aide.
Just had mine done today I had an epidural,went to theatre at 3 and back on the ward at 6.15.Feel much better having the epidural and nor the full anesthetic I did have a few little naps but the surgeons were lovely and kept talking to me.i am just begin g to get some sensation back in my feet. Good luck for Monday you will be fine. Keep us informed x
