Saw the orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday and he said that my hip is the worse they have seen in ages - there are even splinters lost out of the femoral head
Good thing - the doc is a marvel, he does round 400 of these operations each year and - they gave me there very first slot there was (apologizing for not having one earlier) on Sept.1. So Hip Hurray - I'm gonna get a new hip and be as good as new:)

Oldest son was here for some days and just left to go back home. He is such an amazing young man and it is fun to talk to him - we hanged out in the pool discussing all from movies to partying LOL.At 18 you have the right to party me thinks.

Have a lovely Sunday.

That's fantastic news! Woohoo!

That's great news

Wow thank goodness you have a date and all shall be well :0)
My dodgy hip/knee/ankle continue to ache after a couple of miles walking, used to manage five without a problem. I'm sure part of my weight gain is down to reduced distance and more need to sit. I suppose at some point the doc will decide the time has come!

Brilliant news Wolfie. Look forward to hearing how you get on, and you are anything like me and @Julieathome you'll be here a lot during your recuperation, just for company. And we will all be here for you.

** Doing Happy Wolf Howls** for you! X
And glad you enjoyed precious time with DS!

Brilliant news @Wolfie just make sure you take very good care of yourself from now until September
Lovely to hear you enjoyed your son's company so much.

Great news, good luck with the op

Wolfie, I am delighted you found a marvellous doc and have confidence going forward. Hip, hip hurray. As others have said, we will be here too..............

Best of luck on your surgery - I hope you make a full recovery!!!

Fingers crossed for you that the operation goes as smoothly as mine did.

Thank you all for cheering and caring, it means a lot

The pain comes and goes, some days I think the femur will come out of the buttcheek, others I can walk without the cane. Strange. Went and had my very first pedicure ever. Just had to since I can't reach the toenails on the right foot and The DH never will get going.

Since I am prone to anxiety, I 'm already geared up with nervous flutters even though it is 7 weeks to go. How utterly silly....such a waste of energy. Not that I need my energy for very much more than household chores and laying on the porch swing , can't sit more than a couple of minutes at a time the sewing machine.

But, I managed to fast all day yesterday (but had dinner) - it's hard not to eat when you are doing nothing more than reading LOL. Luckily the weather is great and the pool is nice. Have a lovely weekend all.

Had a 30-day older friend do that quite recently. Hopefully yours is also a painfree one time, one side cure.

My father has replaced one hip, both knees and a shoulder in the last couple of years. I've already told him that when he's gone, we're going to have him melted down into a Smart car powered by his hearing aid batteries.

I hope all goes well for you Wolfie, and please do keep us updated. We're here for ya!

And thanks ADFnFuel - loved your post!
