hello fellow hippies
had a phone call this morning to confirm operation is deffinatly going ahead. There will be me and two others having there hips done next week on a 15 bed ward. The other two will be first timers so at least I can put there worries to rest I am still scared but that is natural for me because I don't do needles.
At at least I can keep you all posted from my iPad now I can get on here with it. They are giving me a room on my own because the other two paitents are men. The ward is a mixed ward but it was the last time I was there in April.
I really cant wait to be off all these meds and just have pain I can deal with. This has been a heck of a journey and a long ride to the end. The light at the end of the tunnel at last is shining bright.
I will have to stay in hospital for at least a week because of what went wrong the first time. ( nothing to do with the op )
so I know I can count on my hippie friends to keep my spirits up.
If if all goes well again like last time I should be sitting in the chair by my bed by Dinnertime I hate laying in bed being in so much pain and having to lay here day in and day out has done my head in.
My my surgeon has sorted out all the same people on his team even the anethatist so at least I know them all
any way woo hoo not long now 😊👍
I thought mixed wards were illegal? Do yoi mean men and women or in the same sleeping aea or just specifically just men in another room?
But best of luck for the op 😀 xxx
Good for you, have a Happy New Year. Cheers!
Hi Sarah
it is a 30 bed ward. It is split in 1/2. 1/2 is the men's side 1/2 is the women's side. 😊
HAPPY NEW YEAR darling ---- Good bye 2015 - Bless it and release it ...
warm embrace

Oh right so no mixed sleeping rooms? I was going to say thats so wierd if it was haha 😂
What a relief eh? Nothing is as bad as hanging around waiting, spesh when you are in such pain.
Must feel like home from home by now!
At last it is happening for you. You have been very
patient throughout.. I wish you a Happy and healthy new year.

Hooray! I'm so pleased for you Halea and I hope you're out of pain very soon.
BTW we have mixed gender rooms in Australia. I've never been in one but a friend has, with a man who was paranoid and had to be restrained. I would hate it, lying next to some strange man.
Im pretty sure it is illegal could be wrong but here but we deffo dont have mixed gender rooms anymore. Its hardly appropriate if you need a bed pan/bed bath or wearing very little clothing is it haha
I Was told that it was a mixed ward, But how it was arranged was a ward of so many beds all seperated into 4, womans and mens, so all ok.

No it is illegal for mixed wards like that.
Still no offence but I prefer guy talk to women talk any way😳😂
Happy New year to you too renee.
I hope the new year brings you luck and a better year.
I will ill keep you posted on how I am doing 👍
Hi gertie
my hospital is like home from home I have had so many things done to me in the last 5 years I have become the local NHS labrat
i still have two more operations after this one so that will make 9 procedures in 5 years 😳
Hi cathie
I have had to be nothing I could do it was out of my hands. I just had to shout louder each time to make them listen
Good luck to you Hailea. Hope all goes well.
Hi kikeena
I wouldn't be that bothered I had a male nurse looking after me part of the time. I find the guy nurses a great laugh.I asked him to take out the needle drain in my leg. I also asked him to take out the canular in my hand. He just whipped them both out and I never felt a thing. I hope he is still there this time and is looking after me again we had a great laugh
thank you sue
hope the new year is a good one for you too 👍
