Well only 4 days to go till hip replacement operation, so much to do and not enough energy to do it. ! not looking forward to getting back after op not being able to do anything much, and the swollen legs etc Not to mention my hands and wrists are so weak and painful worried about crutches although my surgeon seems to think no problem trouble is all i can see is the problems. Tried to plan things out and keep positive but hey I'm only human....

Take care all sue x

can you make sure that your painkillers are kept topped up at the hospital and that the occupational therapist knows all your history? hopefully they'll take that into account in your recovery. can understand your worry about the crutches - walking with a walking stick has made me curse cos of the extra burden I've been putting on my arm muscles!

Hope all goes well, Lou x

Oh Sue, try not to worry I'm sure you will be fine. Very often we worry over the unknown but when things happen we cope with them much better than we anticipate. Just think, you can sit back and be pampered while you are recovering!!.

Take care and let us know how you get on. Love Angela x
