Pipkin - the length of time the hip will last shouldn't be a factor, it'll improve the quality of your life, and that is waht they should consider.... i think they last about 10 years, and although the surgery is big, you will feel soooo much better after you've got one... (acording to NICE guidance they cannot deny you due to your age...).

Thanks for that nimbo.

The consultant has said they are reluctant to operate and will control with medication at this stage, only they have to keep increasing medication as it is still painful to even walk.

I do have spinal problems which also adds to everything but, because the new hip could only last 10 years - and I am only 38, they do feel that we should wait until absolutley necessary.

I am seeing them again in May, so will discuss the situation then.

What is a 'graze box'? I'm most intrigued

Have a look at https://www.graze.com.

My box arrived this afternoon and the contents are very nice, but it's not worth paying £2.99 for.

I had pineapple pieces, golden honey nut cashews and blueberries, green raisins and jumbo raisins.

mmm sounds nice

back from physio, she says I have very tight muscles in my shoulder and neck which are nipping the nerves in my arm giving me pins and needles and pain :cool: she is working on loosening them have to go back in 2 weeks

she has recommended pilates to strenghten my back and core muscles - anyone ever tired pilates?

NPM I love the sound of egg chips and fizzy stuff

Pipkin is it that they can only do the op so many times and then you cant have any more surgery done?

sunnygirl thankyou for that suggestion I have thought about joining freecycle but the emails put me off- I may try again . my WM is only 2 years old ( just out of warranty :cool:) and the part they need is out of stock for 4 weeks ( this is week 3) so hopefully sometime next week it will be ok

sistercas - I've done pilates. It's very much like Yoga (I even think some of the moves are yoga based). You think it's not going to be that much hard work but it is LOL!!! I recommend it - just wish I make more of an effort to keep it up

Just picked up DH presetation packs from the printers and picked him up a document holder so he will look all professional. He wouldn't take a bag as he doesn't want to look like a girl LOL:rotfl: He also has the suit, tie shirt and shoes. It will probably be most of the day so I will try and post how he has done tomorrow evening. They are giving him lunch, so hopefully thats a good sign:D

I have made cup cakes with chocolate icing and a victoria sponge this afternoon. Tea will be jacket potatoes and everyone can pick there own fillings, cheese and beans, tuna mayonaise or chilli, or a mixture of any of the above;)

Second day on my healthy eating campaign, lunch was leftover stir fry from last night. Feeling very virtuos:A have applied my fake tan today. Don't bother during winter but the sun was shining and fat always looks better brown:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

bargainbird

Bitsy - Step away from the chocalate :rotfl:
Julie - I agree .

Went to watch DD1 do x country, she belted off at the start and finished bright red/yellow patches :T, and the sun shone for them so it was lovely, Spike got abit freaked out by the screaming banshee mothers shouting :rotfl:. The older kids were doing there race at 1.30, was going to go down and watch but it started lashing down, so stayed at home...Good job really someone else rang for me to do theire ironing:T, so i've picked it up and done that ready to deliver tomorrow :cool:

Have a lovely evening peeps xx

Afternoon all

Sorry not had time to read thread yet so hugs to all.

Absolutely shattered again today after a day's gardening, kids worked hard but could see they were flagging towards the end. We have just the morning to finish off tomorrow, should be done no problems as long as they are in the mood, although I'm bribing them with a free afternoon off so should work! The council have taken away almost 2 tonne of garden waste, the garden looks so much bigger now!!

I really fancy proper chips for tea tonight but I've just realised that I only know of one chippy in the town where I'm living, and it's not open in the evenings! It's a town centre/cafe one. I may go for a drive to find them. There is a chippy in the next village over but it's a 15min drive away.

I'm currently watching a dodgy TV movie on 5, featuring !!!!!! and Barry van Dyke! It's basically a Diagnosis Murder-esque tv movie! I'm gonna curl up and watch it and read same time

Have a good evening all

Hopefully you will get some comfort from having the physio, sistercas.

I honestly don't know if you can only have so many replacements. It is something I will have to ask them.

They put my mum's op off for a long time, then opted for the hip resurfacing but she is now waiting for the full replacement, which should be within the next 12 weeks.

Can you point me in the right direction for this app please?!

Certainly! Its called Home Routines, and unfortunately isn't one of the freebies, but for that feeling of being nice and organised it's given me so far, I'd say it's weel worth a couple of £ :rotfl:

MMM

Hi Pipkin

These theories on replacement joints really frustrate me, 10 years ago they were few and far between, now they want to delay them as they con only do so many and want to ensure you walk for longer. In another 10 years they might be a better solution which can last 40 years, and people want to walk now not when they are old and past it. Sorry rant over.
