Total Hip Replacements

[Kenj]

I got an apology letter from WDHB, so that was nice, but apart from the preop clinic dead silence. Walking is becoming an issue, even a little wander has consequences that night, which is a pain. Literally, lol.

I know how effective Celebrex is for me, without it life is very difficult. My doc also recommended one of the acid reducers, but having seen how long term use of those affected my Mum I won't take them, much to her disgust. I know how pressured the system is, so I will wait quietly, but if my tendency to fall over gets worse I will do what the anaesthetist told me to do, and start hassling the booking clerk. Falling over is no fun, but the getting back up again is even worse.

One thing though, we heal faster in Summer, so maybe the delay will work to our advantage!

Ho Ho Ho, an early Christmas Present for me! Had a call from the Hospital Booking Office and the Hip replacement is on the 12th October.  All going well...... as these days there are so many cancellations. The day I see the anesthetist has to changed as they are on strike that day, so I said don't worry about that, I'm happy to have a couple of rums, clench a bit of leather in my teeth and lie back and think of England.
