Hi all

Me again.....Had hips replaced April 14 and feb 15 ...five months on i seem to be ok apart from my knee which is giving way on me and ive fallen several times i will need to see gp

at the weekend my car caught fire at 3.27am Sunday morning,electrical fault...had a few problems with insurance company but now seems to be ok and waiting for further instructions from them.

still coming to terms with loss of car and my independence...if one more person say think POSITIVE i will explode!!! my car was my freedom mobility is very poor due to back injury so driving at least gave me the opportunity to shop visit places etc....now in stuck indoors.

Then today my daughter whos 21,had a fall in work,she came home then told me what happen,didnt want to ring home and worry me!

so we spent two hours in A&E thankfully her xray has shown bad bruising and no broken bones. Has a sling on arm to rest her arm will take upto a week for bruise to come out fully

Not sure how much more i can take..... In tears my head is spinning!!

Oh Denise that is just awful and frustrating, 

Maybe that was the last thing and it will all turn around for you now? It is almost impossible to stay positive and sometimes you just have to cry and let the frustration out. I wish I could come and make  a cuppa for you and just sit and share your frustration.  I friend did that for me today and I wish I could pay it forward. 

Hope tomorrow brings some better news for you.  You just need one better day to reassure you that things are on the mend. 

Xx Laura

Oh, bless you, D. Such a litany of bad luck.

Know just what you mean about these 'think positive' types. Great book I can recommend, Smile Or Die, puts that sh!t in its place! 😀

Swear, stamp and scream. Whatever you need. When you're ready, regroup.

In meantime, come here and rant xxx

Hi Denise

To help your daughters bruse come out quicker. Go buy some with hazel and dab it on the bruise three times a day. It really does help. I hope she is ok again soon.

Dearest Dee ...

that sucks big time ... seems that all these things happened are beyond your controle - very unsettling and scary feeling, I know ... 

I don;t know what to say to make it all right for you right now .. it is what it is, and what is, sucks ... it is totally okay to feel this way .. accept it fully ... and be very gentle with your self - speak kind words - it is going to be okay ... it is taken care off ... there is nothing you can do about it right now ...

good night - warm hug for both of you

I my heart really goes out to you Denise.You sure have had a go at it.. I think I'd feel the same way and tearful too.

With both hips gone rather close no wonder your knee is causing so much trouble. But there is light at the end of the tunnel of recovery. You will seeded things getting better each day.

Try just to live thought today each one at a time.hugs to you.xxxx

We all need a bl...y good cry sometimes! It's frustration + emotion. I read some where that swearing reduces pain so give that a go too! XXX
