I am so ready for my party! Unfortunately I will have just had an operation, so won't be allowed to drink booze, but maybe I can make up for it a couple of days early? ;):p

Wow, Sarah Lou that's amazing, well done love. You've had it rough at times haven't you, but you stuck with it. I hope you're really proud of yourself, you should be.

One more month and Max will be holding the door of the Penthouse open for you :D

How is your hip by the way? Didn't you have an op on it last year?

Thanks Molly :) It's been an interesting experience, but I'm really looking forward to reaching that one year mark and I never imagined I'd feel this comfortable as a non-smoker.

I'm sure that Max will be looking forward to dragging me through that Penthouse door :p He's held up the fight with me a lot, so I think he's happy I'm making it through to join him!

The surgery went very well thanks and I'm recovering well. Physio is still a big part of my life, but I'm noticing a lot less pain and more movement in the hip now :)

So it's time to go ahead with the second one! :O

I had a post op check up the other week and my surgeon decided to get me straight on the list. So left side will be in surgery on 21st Feb.

I'm looking forward to having it all done with, so I can enjoy the rest of the year :D

How are you? Did you have a nice christmas and new year?

You certainly will! It's a heck of a journey but a great one :)

Enjoy it as much as you can and don't let that naughty nicotine devil get to you. I'm sure you'll do just great. x

I would love for you to hold to fort for me and have a good drink on 23rd, or any time really ;)

Thanks hun. I have a great surgeon so I'm sure I'll be well looked after! And I'll have more time to be here on the forum when I'm recovering! :) xxx

Wow Sarah Lou, I can understand you wanting to get this out of the way now, it's been going on a long time hasn't it. When they have finished and you have recovered will you be able to be as active as you want? Sorry, I don't actually know what was wrong, just that you had an operation and was on crutches early on in your quit. I remember being in awe of you going through the inactivity and quitting. That can't have been easy.

Good luck with your second operation, I hope it goes brilliantly for you.

I'm fine thanks, Christmas and New Year were quiet but that's the way I wanted it to be honest so all was well.

Take good care of yourself x

Yeah you'll be fine, and you know what to expect this time around so it should be less daunting :)

And you get more time to be treated like a princess - that's got to be good!! :D

Will be lovely to see you around more too xxx

Usually the condition I have (hip impingement) is treated with physiotherapy and eventually hip replacements (because physio will only help with muscles and not the joint itself), but the operation I had has recently been discovered as a way to reshape the joint and stop any further damage to it. This should mean that I won't have replacements in the future (yay!) and I can do most activities again, with a lot less pain and discomfort. :)

To be honest I was worried about having the op and craving afterwards, but it was such a relief (especially with being in pain) to not have to get up and hobble outside to smoke. I've never smoked indoors so it wouldn't have been an option.

Thank you :) I'm sure it will go just as well and I have a wonderful other half ready to jump back into playing nurse again, which is great.

A lot of people (including myself) seem to have had a really quiet christmas and new year. But there's definately nothing wrong with that, as long as you're enjoying yourself! :D

It's amazing what they can do these days isn't it? The biggest thing is getting a really good team around you and your surgeon sounds lovely.

I'm sure you'll be able to give us updates afterwards won't you? Will you still be in hospital on your one year? We'll have to have 3 parties, a big one before, a quiet one on the day and a flipping massive one when you're back on your feet. Can you tell I like parties? :D

Ha! You're my kind of woman! :D

The surgery is a day case so it's very unlikely that I'll have to stay overnight, thank goodness! :) I'll be back home and comfortable (ish) by early evening hopefully. And I will, of course, be keeping you up to date. My ipad was my best friend after the last op and coming on here stopped me from suffering with boredom related insanity!

YAY, 11 MONTHS FOR SARAH-LOU!!!:D:D:D

Was hoping you'd post this last milestone before the biggie! Peeved.com that you'll be unable to celebrate your Penthouse entrance with your favourite tipple - for some reason my brain hadn't connected the date for your second op with your Penthouse milestone, dingbat that I am! Well, I shall be your proxy and imbibe on your behalf and then, once you're free of antibiotics, etc we shall have a Mark II party!

Massive congratulations hon, not long now!:cool:

Yay! I do like a party :)

Thank you very much hun. I'm so excited for your big day, then not long after I will be joining you! xxx

I am so so pleased and proud of you Sarah Lou,you stand on the edge of glory :D:D well in the sense of reaching the Penthouse anyway!

I did say way back in Feb 2013 that if certain people made the PH I would pay for a splurge-not a virtual one,a real one- for the Musketeers somewhere nice one weekend and I stand by that :D

I would give you such a monster hug if you were here,dead proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
