Think of me on Wednesday!

[lorraineflee]

Some of you have already seen my wimpy message on the Diet thread and know that I am going in to hospital tomorrow for a hip replacement. In on Tuesday, operation on Wednesday - abject terror starting to kick in about now!

Please keep fingers, toes (or anything else Geti!) crossed for me on Wednesday and then, hopefully, I'll be back home at the start of next week, partially bionic and able to hop over tall buildings, (I'd leap over them but I'm only having one hip done!)

Thanks for all the messages of support that you've posted so far, it really does help!

Oh, Lorraine, how scary. Just think how much better you'll feel afterwards tho! I know what a pain (pun fully intended) hips can be - I have a problem with my right one. Arthritis due to the Behcets.

More than anything else tho, I think its the blow to the ego that comes from realising you're old enough to have 'dodgy' hips
I will be thinking of you and sending you positive, giggly thoughts.

Good Luck Lorraine
I know a few people who have had HRs and say that it's changed their lives.
It'll be well worth it & we'll be thinking of you
love Jayne xxx

All the very best with it, I can imagine how scary it must feel right now.

A friend, a gentleman in his 60s, had one recently and was home 36 hours after surgery and already appreciably better by that time than he had been before. So I hope it will be the start of much better times for you.

Will be thiinking of you hun and send you heaps of love and hugs

Good luck Lorraine - I know only too well how daunting the prospect of surgery can be - but this is going to be a life changing thing for you in such a positive way. I hope you can focus on how fab it's all going to be once you're fully mobile again.

Will be thinking of you on Wednesday

My Mum had a hip replacement and it made a huge difference..........a good one that is.

Good luck with your operation - don't be too scared! you'll be good as new in no time

[Kalorlo]

I'll be thinking of you! Good luck, and I hope everything goes smoothly.
