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 
Breakfast cocktail of pills which seems like a lot of pills

Am now in my own clothes and *might* just be back home tonight. Which is pretty amazing
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)

"That so far out, man!" 
Taking my first walks around the village after a week of physio at home on the new hip. Painful and, well, a bit weird feeling. But nice to be getting out of the house.
Can do it with a somewhat clearer head now the Oramorph has run out, too :)
Yikes! Artificial Hip replacements by #ProFemur have been failing.
Patients expected Profemur artificial hips to last. Then they snapped in half.

" #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."
The GuardianRevealed: NHS trusts tell patients they can go private and jump hospital queues
I am quite pleased so far with the results of my hip replacement surgery in early November. Being able to move around like I used to years ago is wonderful. I didn’t realize how bad things had become and how terribly limited I was. I used to plan my trips through the house so as to take the fewest number of steps possible, because every step hurt so much. Now, I’m flirting with jogging again. Very grateful.

We were invited to a neighbor's holiday party for last night but declined because we are isolating in advance of my husband's long-awaited #HipReplacement in 2 weeks. Today the host tested positive for #Covid. We've managed to avoid getting it so far, fingers crossed. Stay safe out there.
