👯‍♀️Hip & Knee Replacement #3 👯‍♀️

We are No.1 , hooray but see how fast we drop down.

It could just be me, but I dont even see you on the last day list.

I had to do a search to find this thread.

My post has made it appear.

I have come on to say[havent read all the pages] that I know someone who is 91, who has just been put on the waiting list for a full hip replacement.
She has been deemed fit, so is eligible for the list. The list is 18 months long.

Given her age I hope she gets her operation earlier than 18 months. She might discuss with GP who can refer her to have her operation on the nhs at a private hospital.
Or ring the Nhs consultant’s secretary and enquire about cancellations.
She will feel a new woman. Best of luck.

Giving this another go ....

Morning all

I am doing my 4 posts to bump up the list

I check my I,m on facilty every day to see who is here ,but I am on mobile site using an Android device

I am now 8 weeks post THR and have my post op check at the hospital.
Fancy I hope your friend is seen sooner after seeing the consult was very pleasantly surprised at waiting 6 months,the wait to see the consultant was 33 weeks
Are we on the lust ?

We are like the Grand old Duke of York,neither up nor down.

Yay near the top,just keep posting fellowhip/ kneesters

Morning all. Hope you are doing well dte, a few weeks make a big difference.

When is your appointment?

No luck on Active yet ....

We know the best thing about having new hips and knees but thinking about the worst from my point of view it was having to sleep on my back fir so long.

I had to, especially after having my first knee done. I could not sleep on my side for months.

We were numero uno in Active for the first time in months.

Birdbrain here forgot it was Friday and could not understand why you guys had all been putting the wrong date.

Please do not worry I am waiting for the men in white coats.

91 is a good age- I hope she makes it and enjoys the pain-free freedom of her new hip.

Hi SL just on my way appontment is for 2 but doing some retail therapy en route as I have to get two buses also meeting my GD in town who will also help empty my purse no doubt.
This is a lovely thread and so supportive

Have a good day enjoy seeing your gd and and hope all goes well with your appointment dte.

My appointment the hospital was less than two minutes,told me the op was sucessful,keep up the exercise,next patient please! See you in 6 months,2 buses there and 2 home the travelling took a lot longer and was a workout on its own.
DGD now staying until sunday.

THAt was fast dte but you have a 6 month appointment, which I would have liked but wasn’t offered. My op was in a small private clinic but on the nhs due to circumstances of a lost referral from surgery or local hospital. Have never found out which.
Glad all is well. How nice your gd is staying. Enjoy.

SL thankyou

downtoearth that treatment would have frustrated me enormously. It appears to be forgotten you have to travel a distance, then sit in a waiting room to be seen and shown the door in 2 minutes. The only good thing is that your hip is fine!

The doctor struggled to contain his yawning wonder how many hours he had worked.
yesterday I set off alarms in two shops at the exit,hadnt bought anything,or wearing anything to trigger it,wonder if it was my shiny new hip triggering the alarm
Charley I think it is assumed that we all have cars

I had my right TKR 9 February. I was told right hip would need doing within 12 months. I have appointment on 5 July for hip referral. Have pain in back and hip and still using a crutch.
Doing exercises daily but not going out much and only nearby.
Thought by now would be skipping along!

If your pain is hip related once the operation is done that should take the pressure from the knee? Hope so, not long now to wait fir the hip appointment.
