  1. Hi All, The left hip replacement surgery went really well and the surgeon was pleased with the results. I am home now and the pain levels are currently at or below what I was dealing with. I expect the pain to increase but feel I will be able to handle it. Thank you all for your continued caring and support. You are all the best! 🤗

  2. Consultant told me my left hip is worn down (I sort of knew as have been in pain for so long and getting worrse). Had a replacement of the other one 11 years ago so I do have experience, (could not have been carer for my late Alzeimer's suffering husband without that one). eeled of all the risks (incresed because I had cancer this year but quality over quantity any day. Surgery maybe May/June. I guess it was too much to hope for sooner but at least there is a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.

  4. Am I the only person on Mastodon to have had a #hipreplacement since June, oh apart from Nancy Pelosi? I’m 3 days ahead of her in my recovery.

    It turns out that the spinal block takes about 48 hours to fully leave the body and that's when the real pain starts. What jolly fun

    Today I have mostly been feeling very sorry for myself interspersed with periods of OWOWOWOWOWFUCKINGOW and some light whimpering

    Ye gods, this had best be worth it. Hip is pretty much as I expected but the knee is Very Ouch. They said it "might" be cos the leg is getting used to its new part and they weren't wrong 🤕

  8. In case anyone was wondering how much a #hipreplacement hurts, it's quite a lot. Quite a very lot (please excuse the slightly undignified photo, I am currently full of morphine)

  10. At the doctor to talk about #hipreplacement. I'm 48. I'm scared to do it, and scared of what will happen if I don't. No idea what I won't be able to do permanently after. Mad at my stupid buddy for putting me in this position.

  11. " #NHS trusts with record waiting lists are promoting “quick and easy” #PrivateHealthcare services at their own #hospitals, offering #patients the chance to jump year-long queues, the Observer can reveal.

    Hospitals are offering #HipReplacement from £10,000, #cataract surgery for £2,200 and #hernia repairs for £2,500. #MRI scans are offered for between £300 and £400."

  12. CW: PSA: "FDA CLEARED" does not mean your medical device actually underwent any clinical trials, or is necessarily safe. It merely means it's similar enough to existing devices that have been "FDA Approved", or also "Cleared". Horrible Examples Inside.

    e.g., it does not mean your new metal-on-metal #hipReplacement won't make your insides look like black cheese, or your #vaginalMesh won't feel like sandpaper between your legs. #LastWeekTonight about #MedicalDevices: youtu.be/-tIdzNlExrw
