Hip replacement soon

Thinking of you DW. Wishing you success and rapid recovery! Please post video of you dancing the hula for us when you're healed. :love_heart:
 

Thinking of you Warri .. I watched my calender so I wouldn`t miss you and its still the 4th so best of luck with tomorrow and
we will be praying for your healing and painfree surgery.. hope all goes well, keep in touch on how you are..take care :)
 

Today's the day. Although I don't have to be at the hospital until 10.30 this morning, I'm awake now at 5.45 am after a bad night where my joints decided to torment me in bed. In spite of being very tired I could not get to sleep easily because every time I lied down I could not find a position that was not painful.

I am so looking forward to my cyborg conversion.
 
Dame Warrigal, you are in my thoughts and prayers today. I forgot you are a day ahead of me -- I meant to be sure to send you a well-wishing e-mail before you went in. But it is already "tomorrow" there -- or maybe it's yesterday here.

Anyway it's only the 4th here. Anyway -- best wishes for a recovery and result as good as mine!
 
Thanks Butterfly. Just filling in time now at home. Hubby wants to leave now but we would be ridiculously early. I'm not budging for at least another half hour.
 
Bit late on this, but good luck with the surgery..

Really is a piece of cake, that surgery is so defined now..

I had a total hip replacement two and a half years ago. In the hospital at 530 am surgery at 10 am. having some soup at around 4 pm.

Was up the next day and visited rehab climbed some steps, went home the next day..

Because of all the illness in the hospitals they don't like keeping you in more than 3 to 4 days..

Took me almost a total 2 years to recovery to a point where I walk with a slight limp, never had any hip pain most was in the thigh where they drill and install the shaft..

This is in Canada
 
Finally today is the day and most likely your surgery is over and you are still sedated. My thoughts and prayers were with you today. Now waiting to hear how you are progressing.
 
Hi, everyone.

Because of the different time zones, I was operated on yesterday at around 2.pm and it is now Thursday 6th,10.50 am. I'm sitting up in bed, washed and fed and doing leg exercises in bed every half hour. The surgeon will visit after lunch and then I will be allowed out of bed.

I'm feeling very good ATM and happy that it is over.

Thanks for all the good wishes.
 
That sounds very good Warri, whew!, glad all went well and it's over...hugs. :love_heart:

Sounds like you're doing OK. I'm so glad about that. Won't be long before you're out of bed and walking about. You'll really enjoy being able to walk without that darned hip pain.
 
Glad to hear you have your surgery over with DW and all went well......And by now have more than likely taken a walk to test out your new hip, I know both men and women involved in dancing who are very happy with their results of hip and knee replacements..

On the subject of IPads I have had one for almost two years I rarely use my lap top..The iPad takes a little getting used to for tasks such as copying and pasting , or setting up files, I have personally found Apple staff in their shops or on the helpline phone number marvellous if any help is needed.. I feel it's well worth it to have a lightweight "computer" to talk to our fellow friends on SF :) while sitting back in a recliner chair ..Hubby has a Andriod tablet, it is very heavy compaied to my Apple iPad it makes my wrist ache just picking his up

I'm so pleased to hear the good news!
 
Yes, but had to wait until a drain was removed. I've been on my feet to make sure I wasn't going to faint and had a lesson on leg manoeuvres using the frame. Then I sat up for a while. Hoping to do more walking tomorrow when I am minus another couple of tubes.

This hospital is very good and the food is great too.
 
I missed your post DW...what a trooper, posting already so soon..WTG...:thumbsup1:..I'm delighted everything is going so well for you, I'm sure I wouldn't have been nearly so brave..
 
Good food is half the battle DW. Glad it's done and of course wishing you the best for a speedy recovery. Stop by the bar and I'll set up with whatever ya want.
