Hi everyone,just to let you know my second hip is fitted and working!! I wasn't as scared as I was when I had my first hip replaced 3monrhs ago although when I was told I could go home after only 7hours l was terrified,I could barely get to the toilet by myself.A nurse came to see me
and said if my check up was ok I was free to go!! There was no way I could get home at 7pm on a Saturday night after just having had a general anaesthetic and a hip replacement!
A sudden fear gripped me when all
of a sudden I was gently persuaded to go back to bed,apparently my blood pressure had dropped dangerously low.So there I was,a roller coaster of emotions rushing round my head.After a night of horrendous pain I was again told I could go home but this time an ambulance was taking me home. I'd phoned Darren and told him to expect me around lunchtime.Armed with my big bag of medication I made it home but Darren made sure I went straight to bed(boy was it good to see our spare bed all made up ready and waiting) I had my Zimmer frame to use and I wasn't embarrassed to use it as it was the only way to get me to the toilet!! It's been a long 5 weeks of agonising pain(what do you mean 5 DAYS????) well it feels like weeks lol. I've been eating ok but could do to eat more but I have just had an operation ! I've also been sick but it was the anaesthetic I think as I didn't make myself sick, I actually think I've got this eating disorder under control (or nearly!!!) I will never say never but I can hope this chapters over as the next one is about how to eat more when you need to lol !!!
It's been a very hard 4 months,what with the eating disorder, 2new hips and being diagnosed as type2 diabetic,also I have the fibromyalgia, chronic asthma,and my allergies to contend with,I'm also trying very hard to stop smoking at the moment.When I look back it's been a long,hard fight with myself but along with my partner Darren and you lovely people out there I feel very optimistic about my future.I'm still spending most of my time in bed as I'm in so much pain but I'll let you all know how I'm doing from time to time.
You must be bored of my posts now as I never have anything happy to write about !!!.My mums being well looked after by a team of nurses so I don't have her to worry about in fact I think she's enjoying all the new voices chatting to her ,even though she can't see them.In fact I feel awful saying this but I'm enjoying being in bed and waited on,I could get used to this lol. I know the pain will ease but it's terrible at the moment.I will speak to everyone again soon X X X X
