Nerves.

Wishing you lots of luck, Waddy. Hope it all goes well: I’m sure it’s for the good and you will look back and feel grateful that you went through with it.

All the very best to you and I hope your operation goes really well. I shall be thinking of you on Monday and shall look forward to hearing from you when it is all behind you.

It will be over before you know it ... just keep thinking of that holiday in Madeira to look forward to! Wishing you all the very best for Monday.

well I will be thinking of you and sending you lots of hugs.
a friend has recently undergone this and he is back gardening as he was 30 yrs ago.

You are the bravest of people Waddy, we all know that
and are supporting you all the time.

Oh thank you so much everyone...I'll let you know how I get on.

Best of luck to you, I am sure it will be fine and as you say being pain free will be great.

Good luck Julia! I have to go to the Dentist...I bet I’m nearly as nervous as you! Lol

Everyone with a replacement hip that I know has been fine
but I bet they were all nervous! And there will be fireworks afterwards all over the country to celebrate...
We're all rooting for you!

All the very best for tomorrow. It's natural to feel nervous but you will be in good hands.

A friend had a new hip two months ago and blesses the day it was done. You'll be doing the polka before you know it!

You're all so kind, thank you! As for the dancing. ..I can't dance now and never could apart from 'disco' dancing, so I don't think a new hip will alter that. I'm just looking forward to getting stuck into the garden again.

Good luck my friend,and I will light a sparkler in your honour,to celebrate a pain free life ahead..Lol. Russell sends his best wishes,and we will be thinking of you..and we have our Christmas lunch to look forward to as well,so I know you will be on your feet again for that..what more of an incentive could you have than that,to be up and about again ?? Lol xxx

A bit late but good luck ! You'll be better after having it done :)

good luck for tomorrow

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. Will think of you today & try to send healing vibes!

Best wishes for today Waddy , you'll be as good as new afterwards and will soon be pain free .. x

Best Wishes Julia for a speedy recovery. Hope you're up and about in no time. Be well. X

Its now the 9th and no news. Must look elsewhere.

Hello everyone. Thank you so much for all your kind wishes. The operation went well and I came home on Wednesday...to be honest I couldn't have stood another sleepless night (3 in a row) so insisted unless there was a very good reason why not, I was going home. It's been a struggle and rather painful, but back in my own environment and my own bed has made such a difference. The physio has been out to see me and she's pleased with my progress so far. The secret is doing the exercises, no matter how uncomfortable they may be, which I am determined to do. You can't keep a yorkshire lass down!

I'm glad it went well & you are back home. You will feel better each day and a good night's sleep. Nice to hear back from you Julia!

Good on yer Waddy - stick with it! Its very good that you can have home visits from the physio. It should be all improvement from now on.

so glad you are home and making good progress. Hospitals are very noisy aren't they? keep up the physio no matter how uncomfortable. you know it will be worth it. :o)

Waddy, there's no place like your own home for R&R. In the hospital, especially through the night, the nurses come round to check your obs., normally just as you have fallen asleep! Wishing you a good recovery.

I'm glad you're home now and recovering :) x

Well done Julia! You keep doing those exercises and you'll be up and about in no time. It will take time, but you'll be rid of the walking stick by the time spring comes :)
