    Nothing like positive thinking Patricia1.
    As Punch said to Judy......"That's the way to do it." :)


    News Flash....
    Samuel Pepys first recorded seeing Punch and Judy 353 years ago in May next year.
    How's that for a piece of up to date news. :joyful:


    Seriously though, best wishes again for tomorrow.

    Thank you for your concern and replies,Got the new hip and came home yesterday,a bit sore and tired but ok,had a spinal didnt know a thing,was very well looked after,staff lovely.
    The only thing to complain about was the diet ,nothing for diabetics on diet control,take the carbs off the plate and there is nothing left,banana for pudding,no plain yogurt,all puddings with sugar.yet on the other hand they cater for all nationalities which is fine,but not diabetics,anyway it was only a few days,to get back on track now,BS between 10 and 14 perhaps due to surgery,usually between 5 and 8.
    I just feel bad for diabetics who have long stays in hospital,they will have to get food brought in from home.
    Thanks again folks,had lots of help from this forum,I have learnt a lot from just reading round.

    glad you're ok. I want a pair of those skechers as well. i believe there's a factory or mill shop in Derbyshire that sell them very much reduced.

    I'm supposed to have general on Thursday for gynae op been waiting months for it - am trying not to get a cold or any infections. I wonder whether they might offer a spinal - because i've put weight on whilst getting blood sugars under control you know what anaesthetists are like.

    But in a way its healthy weight gain with a long period of staying the same weight, not the diabetic drastic weight loss. so i think i'd go for spinal if offered.

    Then on 21 october, i have my right hand carpel tunnel done under local - so much less faffing about than G.A

    no wonder you were in pain before the op...sounds like they needed some elbow room and got the big hammers and chisels out
    it probably feels better even now than before the op...did ya get the good drugs to bring home :)

    took the codeine with the paracetamol?, even if you half the codeine and take with the paracetamol ... just to take the edge off
    don't be in pain, it will slow your recovery.

    Live in stockport so in the middle really, it's at our local hospital.

    're the codeine, when I've been on them I take one with a 2 hour gap in between the 2nd one until get used to them, don't like the spaced out feeling.

    Glad the op went ok and you are now on the road to recovery. Hope all goes well, but don't try and do too much. It's surprising how easily you can tire yourself out.

    Thank you RRB and Jack.

    I have lots of lovely flowers from friends and family and my youngest son is coming today from London for a few days,he likes to cook so thats fine.
    My daughter tells me I need an I pad ,my mobile was £14 years ago.but I manage on my lap top.
