Hip stuff - again!

Mishap.

I guess, as you have not posted again, that your op went ahead. Hope it went well and look forward to seeing you posting again soon.

Mishap Hope you're ok, we're all wishing you well! Maybe the throat was just nerves?

Hope you are OK for the op today and that all goes well, as I'm sure it will.

I have an appointment this afternoon to start the process for my hip replacement!

I am already on the books, so to speak (my surgeon wrote, on the discharge letter from the knee op, that the hip was urgent) so I am hoping and hoping to get a date soon. The pain each day can be unbearable until I take the drugs.

One hip, one cataract to go....

I hope all went well Mishap

Mishap, I've just caught up with this thread. I don't know whether to wish you luck or hope that things went well. Which ever - best wishes from me Please keep us posted.

How are you doing, mishap? Thinking of you. Me next, with any luck...

I hope that you are now in better post op shape than you anticipated. And each day, each hour, is a step towards a good end result.

Mishap Let us know how you are doing as soon as you can.

I do hope your surgery went well mishap and that you are feeling better very soon.

Could it be nerves Mishap? Or the start of a cold? Wishing you fortitude with whatever the day may bring anyway. Sending positive vibes and recommend Fishermans' Friends to help the throat!

Dear Mishap just sending you lots of good and positive thoughts. These are allowed in your hospital room.

Good luck Mishap

Good luck today Mishap.

Early morning and about to go to the hospital. But..........I started with a croaky throat at about 9.30 pm yesterday and I hoped it would go away, but it is still there this morning. I just do not know what to do now. I would have rung them yesterday but it was so late and I did not think there would be anyone around to make a decision. I may try ringing them now.

mishap I hope all goes well for you.

Oh, and good luck for tomorrow!

You go for it, Mishap! It transformed DH's life. You can take a seat cushion, or even two, from a settee or another chair, and put it in an armchair to raise the height.

Odd about where to get aids etc - at the pre op session with the physios we took along a form on which was recorded measurements - height of bed, loo etc, and then give a prescription for aids which we took along to a shop which provided them all free.

Thinking of you Mishap.

Best of luck tomorrow, Mishap.
(Just think, here in France a trip to the dentist is compulsory before surgery)....

Keep us posted as to how you get on, and remember we're always here to answe any questions.

Best of luck for tomorrow Mishap I hope all goes well and you are swiftly home again

All the very, very best for tomorrow. Great that you are first on the list, get it over and done with. Tell the anaesthetist that you puke post operatively and he may be able to sort that out pre op.

The pain following a hip replacement is nothing like after a knee replacement - I think that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Good luck.

Op is tomorrow - gulp! If nothing else the anticipation is resulting in a good intestinal clear-out! I am first on the list so will get it over with quickly - let's hope the surgeon and the anaesthetist are awake!

I am dreading all the post-op pain and puking and can't wait for that bit to be over with.

Mishap...dentists do seem to be often in two minds about antibiotics ...
when teeth fall apart....have had this happen to me.
I always forget that the good old fashioned cure of a salt water rinse is excellent at keeping mouth infections at bay. I've got a bit of an erosion/low gum problem that can become the site of an infection from time to time. The dentist recommended an expensive gel to use when it flares up, but good old salt and water always does a better job. The hygienist always swears by it.
