Good Luck Sal, Mike and Ruby

[hernanu]

Getting a bit close now.  All the best to you all.  Will find out tomorrow if my op is on for Thursday 9th.  Been cancelled once so trying not to get hopes up too much.  Won't believe it's happening until I'm on the operating table and then will probably try to do a runner (well a hobble).

Ka

Good luck, Ka - the whole thing goes by fast and gets you to the good side of life.

Oooh Ka, tomorrow? Good luck, we'll be waitin for ya! My day one was horrid but over now.  Race you on the zimmer on Friday! Sal

[Anna]

Good luck Ka x

Good luck Ka!

It's 2.40am and we'll be leaving for Birmingham soon. I'm all packed and quite nervous I have to say. I hope all goes well and i'll be pain free when I wake.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to log in next, but Anna, Suze and Danny have my number so I'm sure one or all will be able to update you all on how things went.

Thanks to all for the help you've given since i've been posting. It's been a long road and a tough fight to get to this point but i'm finally here after 3.5 years of complete agony.

See you all on the other side! xx

Good luck Ka

Isn`t it nice how we all stick together x

Hi all, Mike I hope you got on ok yesterday and today I'm thinking of you Ruby and Of you Ka. Day two I feel so much better, pain is now well under control, have showered all by myself and am getting my independence back. Just waiting for physio as I'm pre loaded with Tramadol.  It is so lovely that we all have each other to talk to, I feel so much better going through all this with all of you holding my hand. Thanks guys, we just need Anna to get on the list now. Hope you get your appointment through soon, hun. Xxx

If anyone speaks to Ruby by text, send her my thoughts pls! Xx

[hernanu]

Nice that they got the pain under control, now just keep it that way and you'll be making good progress. Go Sal!

[bilateralbliss]

That`s great Sal- will pass your message onto Ruby x

[Spanielsal]

Thanks Hernanu and Suze, keep us posted of Ruby's progress, hope she's doing ok. I'm doing well on the physio, just got to keep the reps going and to rest enough too. It's a busy hippy summer!

[bilateralbliss]

Ruby just texted me 5pm UK time, all is great:)

[hernanu]

So she's done?

[bilateralbliss]

Yes, was first on Mr T`s list, she wonders where the pain has gone!!  :)

[bilateralbliss]

...also asking how Sal and Mike are!! :)
it`s an Olympic hippy week!!

[hernanu]

Great news, thanks for posting that.

[Tin Soldier]

Been gone for awhile and was curious about Ruby and others (just wasn't tracking Sal and Mike as much).   I bet you guys are all happy to have the rougher part of the journey over with.  It should all get better from here.  Good job all.

[Spanielsal]

Gold medals all round, great to hear Ruby is doing well, I hope she meets Mike that'd be cool. Getting quite fast on the crutches.... If I set off now I might just make the 200!  It was a good week to be forced to watch lots of telly!

[Pat Walter]

Great Sal is doing well and Ruby is done.  Take it easy and keep us updated when you can.

So nice that everyone can support each other.  It means a lot when you are laying in a hospital room with a lot of time waiting to recovery.

Good Luck everyone.

I've just txt ruby. She said shes ok. Her notes say Birmingham hip replacement as did mine so looks like she's officially a member of the club! :D

[Anna]

Wooo hoooo  ;D

Sounds like everyone has done really well! Glad you are feeling better now Sal. Glad Ruby is through to the other side. Now we just need to hear from Ka and Mike!
