Lord preserve us from stroppy nurses!  Good luck with the stockings tomorrow, bet you have a really nice cuddle with her new baby when you do meet up, rest assured your friend won't be able to wait too long to introduce you two!

Ruby-
Do you have a date for your 6 week appointment?
Mine is Weds 19th September- if you're the same day, we'll have to meet up for a coffee and compare notes!

[rubyred]

I haven't recieved mine as yet, Mike. The ward clerk wasn't working the day I was discharged so I'm expecting it in the post soon! Mr T does his clinic on a Wednesday, so chances are we'll be on the same day!

Always get one stroppy one! Time will fly, you`ll soon see the new baby. It`s a another step towards feeling normal when the staples come out :) (Check it`s Ok then to start applying scar treatment oil) hugs xx

I can't believe it's almost 2 weeks post-op. Already I'm moving around much more than I was a week ago. Getting some slight groin pain again today. First time I've felt it, but i'm hoping it's because my poor muscles have been through so much that they're still just ticked off at me. x

[hernanu]

That's most likely, ruby - keep icing and moving, then resting and posting... Ah... the hippy life.

[Anna]

Happy 2 week birthday Ruby!!!  ;D

Hope you've had your staples out Ruby.  I know it was such a relief to have mine out, can't image having them in this long.

I finally got the staples out this morning!

Was due to be yesterday but the nurses phoned and cancelled due to being too busy and said "oh, one more day won't make no difference" Excuse me?? Maybe not to you, but to my comfort it does! I wasn't pleased really, but a lovely nurse came out this morning and it's such a relief to get rid of that nasty pinching sensation every time I moved!

[Spanielsal]

Hurrah, they're out! Have you a beautiful scar to flash?! Xx

[rubyred]

The nurse covered it back up again!!! Grrrr I want to be able to add it to the gallery  ;Dx

Ruby,

I have not been on lately, but, I am so glad to see you are doing so well.  You certainly have comeback from despair to being happy once again.

Keep up the good healing, as you can see this forum has lot's of good people who have been paying it forward.

I'm getting there Chuck. One day at a time  :)

So today miss Ruby I went to Leeds festival, as you know. I was singing along to the kaiser chiefs and was thinking about you when they were singing Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby nah nah nah nah nah naaaaaaah .........

And then I saw the Foo Fighters. Im not sure if any of you are into music but the Foo Fighters are my all time favourite band. They sing a song called 'Walk'. Its my favourite because of the lyrics. .... "Learning to walk again, I believe ive waited long enough, where do I begin?" Its just too true. The last time I saw them sing this song was years ago when I was fully fit and bouncing around like a moron, today I was sat on my chair wishing I could dance like everyone else. I cant deny I actually shed a little tear (Though it was ok, it was dark and noone saw!) I thought about all you hippies learning to walk again ..... next time I hear that song I will be bouncing. Im pretty sure my time will have come and I will have learnt to walk again.

Thats my thoughts today x x

Hi Anna
Isn't it strange how things like that work out- all those years you've listened to that song and now it has a different meaning!
When you hear it with a pain free hip, I bet it will sound even better. Think of the moshing around you'll be doing.
My mate called round on his motorbike today and I watched him fly off up the road thinking-'how long till I'm back on mine?'
It won't be this year but I'm already looking forward to Spring when I'll get back on and get back to enjoying life and not have my hip dictate everything I do.
You'll be back shouting and dancing, Anna-no doubt about it.

[Anna]

Ha ha, im too old to mosh Mike ... but a dance will be great.

... and I reckon you will be back on your bike next spring. As soon as the weather is nice!  ;D

[Spanielsal]

And you, Tigger, will have recovered your boing! Xx

[Anna]

bOING bOING

[rubyred]

Afternoon everyone,

I'm suffering from the dreaded groin pain today. Reminds me hugely of the groin issues I had pre-surgery, but i'm assuming this is all fairly normal so early on in recovery  :)

[Spanielsal]

I get it too Ruby, I thought I'd pulled something dive bombing he bed. I have found it worse at night and that s the only thing that wakes me. I've been bending the knees up sleeping on my back and that has seemed to relieve it. Does anyone else have a remedy?
