How did the appointment go on Wednesday? -- Andy > How did the appointment go on Wednesday? > > -- > Andy Hi Andy. The appointment went well on Wednesday, the x-rays looked fine, and the Registrar was happy with me starting to drive again, so I handed in all my OT aids. I thought that was a successful appointment, even though I didn't see the surgeon. But, the hip dislocated again yesterday lunchtime,, and it took me over 5 mins to get it back in the socket again. It was really frightening and quite painful. Now I'm scared to even sneeze! So I have various options to consider, starting with a chat to my phsiotherapist this afternoon, and then phoning the surgeon next week when he's back from his hols. I suspect this will mean another operation. Yesterday was so awful that right now I could even consider a private op, the way I feel at the moment. I had a tooth out earlier this morning and the numbness is just wearing off.........! Things can only get better:) Janet >Hi Andy.

Well if that's an option, it will mean you may not have to wait as long, you should be able to pick your surgeon and ask all the questions that concern you. >I had a tooth out earlier this morning and the numbness is just wearing >off.........! Did you tell the Dentist your hips been out more often than your Teeth lately! I don't know what you think Jan?, but my opinion is something can't be right the amount of dislocations you've had in such a short period post op. Have a restful weekend and good luck with the surgeon next week. -- Andy > Great, at least you can drive again. I've stopped, Andy, cos I don't have an automatic car. Besides, I'm saving quite a lot of money staying home. I went into Aldergrot the other day and three shops had closed down, so someone is missing me. > Did you tell the Dentist your hips been out more often than your Teeth > lately! Damn, why didn't I think of that?! > I don't know what you think Jan?, but my opinion is something can't be > right the amount of dislocations you've had in such a short period [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > Andy I agree that all these dislocations can't be right, although I've heard of lots of other people who've had the same problem. Gwen Love for one, who has written to me. I've written to the surgeon as I don't want to sit on the phone for hours next week. Janet >> Great, at least you can drive again. > >I've stopped, Andy, cos I don't have an automatic car. I can still drive a manual, but changed to automatic following my leg incident and continue to drive auto. > Besides, I'm >saving quite a lot of money staying home.

I'm sorry to hear it has happened again. That must be such a worry. You take care of yourself. Jayne >Hi Andy.

Have just had one of those years myself when everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and then some, but I feel for you with this problem. Scares with willies out of me to know that one day I will probably be in the same position, but you're getting there and that's a real encouragement. But goodness me - driving! What wouldn't I give to be back on the road? It must really be a boost for you. My left leg being as it is, I'm supporting several taxi drivers and their families these days ;-) I hope things get very much better very much faster for you. 2004 is going down as my personal annus mirabilis (that's latin for a right pain in the bum :) and I guess you'll not be looking back on it with too many fond memories either. But we will get through. Hey, you know, I was walking to my local newsagent yesterday when a gorgeous young woman smiled at me. That's all. But I was feeling so bad, and am so used to people trying not to notice my limp, AND she was *so* cute, you can't imagine how good that smile made me feel. Later fell over in a shop (dropped my wallet, went to get it, and wheee... well, there's a first time for everything). But I'm hanging on to that smile... So here's one from me for you to hang on to... :-))))))))))))))))))) Jim (not so cute, but just as smiley) (BTW my email address has changed, but it's still the same Bristol based Jim) --------------- To email go to my address and take out the dog... > That's the spirit.

My left leg being as it is, I'm supporting several taxi > drivers and their families these days ;-) Are you not able to drive at all, Jim? I hope all these taxis aren't a permanent arrangement. I only drove for three miles last week, and even that was two separate journeys. Now I'm not going anywhere, especially as I have to use the clutch. I've decided not to phone my surgeon after all. But he will return from holiday on Monday to find a letter from me at the hospital, and his home address. I want this sorted out and I don't want to wait for ages to leave messages. I'll even see him at a private appointment if necessary. > I hope things get very much better very much faster for you. > 2004 is going down as my personal annus mirabilis (that's [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > there's a first time for everything). But I'm hanging on to > that smile... So here's one from me for you to hang on to... I'd like to say that young woman was me, but it weren't. They say that smiling is contagious, don't they? I hope you're not too sore from your fall, and I'm sure we'll both coming bouncing back next year (we'd better!!!). > :-))))))))))))))))))) > > Jim (not so cute, but just as smiley) Thank you, Jim, you're a nutcase, but I like you:) Janet >Thank you, Jim, you're a nutcase, but I like you:) >Janet Which reminds me - just how long is it since I had a Cadbury's fruit and nutcase? Do they still make it? Used to like that ... Jim --------------- To email go to my address and take out the dog... >>Thank you, Jim, you're a nutcase, but I like you:) >>Janet [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Jim I think they do. I never usually look for it as I'm a Whole Nut Person Janet > 2004 is going down as my personal annus mirabilis (that's > latin for a right pain in the bum :) As a matter of fact, mate, it isn't. I think the phrase you're looking for is "annus horribilis" (horrible year) rather than "annus mirabilis" which actually means "wonderful year". Always knew those years of studying Latin would come in for some use. Dave SignatureDave Smith Wordsmith @ yarnspinner, singer and storyteller >As a matter of fact, mate, it isn't.
