Good luck today, I have friends that have had it done and they said it was the best thing they ever did, it so improved their lives. I have to say though that if it were me I would be nervous the same as you.

Although I don't want to, I think I am heading for a hip replacement. I am getting a bit nervous but I suppose if it means I get rid of some of this pain it will be worth it.
I will be back this evening and I will tell you how I got on then.

Good Luck. I will be thinking of you and I hope all goes well.
I know the prospect of the op is very daunting but if you can be pain free again it will be worth it.

Hope it all goes well Jenny. At least the hospital staff won't have to explain all the technical stuff to you

Will be thinking of you.

Jen, don't worry. It's such a routine op these days, and will give you a completely new lease of life.

You go for it hon......

I found out yesterday I need a full knee replacement (left knee) at 35 so I know how you feel.

You'll be absolutely fine no matter what your consultant says. And remember, it's your hip. He can't do anything without your sonsent so if you're not 100% happy about something, then ask him about it - whatever it is.
When it gets to the stage of replacing joints, it's usually down to quality of life. If your quality of life will be improved by having the surgery, then go for it.

Thinking of you.

Oh yes I went with my list of questions. The consultant admitted he found me scarey because I am a retired hospital sister
He said that because of my poor quality of life I fitted all the criteria.

I hope all has gone well for you today Fudgley.

So I have agreed to the op and signed the consent form The deadline the consultant has for meeting his targets for the op is August 19th so it could be very soon.
Thanks for all the good wishes and positive vibes, it always helps
