Wow, that's not long at all is it - I think that's better though.

You might also have to start stocking up on books etc. (or do they allow laptops (and if so, will you be able to borrow your granddaughters?)

I have got a stack of books my DiL mother has given me. By looking at the bumph they sent out they don't allow electrical equipment I will have to see.

It's getting close Jen yes, but it'll also soon be over if you look at it that way, and then you'll be running around like a 17 year old again!!! Look on the bright side!!!! It's going to be fantastic, you'll have no more pain and you'll be so much more mobile. Wishing you all the best, hope you don't get too bored in that hospital, that's the worst bit, and I hope it gives you the new lease of life you're hoping for, which it will!

Thanks H, I might even be able to lose some of that "middle age spread"!

It's not long but I also think that's a benefit Jenny, get ir over with and like Helena has said you'll soon be runninga round like a teenager. She's usually spot on with her predictions BTW

Hubby will be pleased

I really hope so Harvey, it was as much as I could do to walk around Sainsburys today.

I agree with everyone as well, get it over and done with and then get on with life. With all the positive Dogsey vibes that will be sent, you will be up and about in no time.
