Seems like she is on the right road to recovery, sending more healing thoughts xx

[fibro]

Healing hugs on their way. Without sounding rude, I'm not sure who they are for, I've not been online for a couple of weeks myself after being in hospital, but its always nice for those who need it to know what a caring community we have here........The Best

I'm afraid i havent kept up with all the daily update emails, i came home to over 300 messages in my inbox so have had to just let some go by the wayside, but i'm trying to get back on track on who's doing what.

Thanks for giving out updates, its always nice to know how someone is doing even if they cant be online. I have no excuse, i took my iPad with but i had no interest in using it whilst i was in hospital!

Take care xxx

Hi Dee

Thanks for the update on Lynn. I do hope she is ok, makes a speedy recovery and doesn't have to stay in too long.

I'm fine thanks apart from pain, but we all cope the best we can, don't we. Mine has just been made worse by scheduled surgery. I have just had my second hip replacement although I am technically still too young to have had one hip, let alone both. But I had no alternative. It's only been two weeks but I do get upset when I hear some older people have had theirs done and it took away the pain straight away! If only that were me.

The Fibro has really attacked my knees these past couple of weeks. I guess they are taking on an extra load.

I will be ok, it's just going to take time. Thank you so much for caring , it really means a lot.

I have only just had dinner as we had a very late breakfast, but how can just eating dinner be so exhausting!! Lol

Sending healing ((((hugs )))) to you too xxxx

Hi fibro

I am so sorry to hear that you have been in hospital also, and I genuinely hope that you are starting to feel better my friend?

Please take care of yourself and let us all know how you are getting on?

Take care

Thank you my friends for your kind thoughts, i'm ok, and getting there, but very slowly. Its only been two and half weeks.

I am still very sore, im doing my exercises but feel sad, esp as all i keep hearing is when others have had their hips replaced the pain went straight away, but the same hasnt happened again. When i had my other one done the after pain was awful, but i think this time although I'm hurting it isn't as bad as the first one.

Ken, i hope you are feeling less sore today. As I sit here on my bed as i hate the feel of chairs i can totally empathise with you.

I am on my own today for the first day, my OH cant afford to take and more time off work and social services expected me to stay in hospital until they sorted something out and it sounded like they expected me to wait a week or two. So we told them we would make our own arrangements, that has only been for a week, i can get a drink as we have a coffee machine and i have used one of those flask mugs, and a trolly, so thats sorted. I just have to think about something to eat. Until he gets home i think it will be safer just to have cereal or toast, i can manage that. I'm just about able to have a small wash, i am sure it wont do me too much harm until he comes home from work.. I feel safer in fact as i would start having panic attacks not knowing whether or not someone will turn up to assist. Its such a shame i feel this way as i know I'm entitled to their help, but i feel i would never get it..

I have promised my OH i will take care

Healing hugs again to those that need it today..... I'm going to fill up tat coffee mug now xxxx

[TheAuthor in reply to fibro]

I am so sorry to read that you are really struggling like this and I genuinely hope that you start to feel better soon my friend. I am not surprised that it upsets you hearing how others feel better so quickly afterwards. I was the same about 10 years ago as I had a knee operation and it was all I heard form everyone! It drove me crazy!

I have been at the hospital today as it was my wife's MS group and the chairs were awful. The MS specialist who runs the group went and got me a more suitable seat, it was just like a commode type of seat in a big frame. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it and it was really painful to laugh like that!

I really hope that you have a better day tomorrow, and I am sending you lots of positive thoughts and best comforting wishes.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken x

[fibro in reply to TheAuthor]

Thanks Ken ((hug)) they say that laughter is the best medicine, but never mention that it hurts more to laugh lol but your 'specal' seat did bring a smile to my face. I just hope it was worth it and was more comfortable for you.. I'm having a non computer day today as i have some friends coming, so i have to attempt at least trying to dress today OH goes out before 06:30 and i couldnt face getting up then, so if you hear screams its because using a 'helping hand grabber' isn't really ideal for dressing with.. Lol

You take care and have a god day too xx

[TheAuthor in reply to fibro]

Good luck my friend, and I really hope that today is a better day for you.

Take care

Brilliant to hear from you , I am dense I had not realised you have had a hip replacement? I re read your letter and silly me you actually say it is not hurting as much as the first - well that is excellent news.

You will have time to join the silly jokes and games -- only when you feel up to it.

Take care glad it is progressing well xxgins

[fibro in reply to Ginsing]

Thanks Gins. It was hard knowing what i should be writing as i felt i had taken over the thread meant for Lynn

I will get there. OH has just helped me shower, nice clean PJs ad regulation anti embolism (DVT) socks! They must be the worst part of having surgery!!

I have lost count of the number of ops i have had now, but this hip was always my 'good' one! Not for now though.

Take care xxx
