Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2006Happy Birthday Jim
Have a great day - and let it all hang out:))) Splodge >Have a great day - and let it all hang out:))) >Splodge Splodge, you remembered! Thank you! :-) Well, yes, it did hang out a bit. A dozen friends joined me at an Indian Restaurant and we spent from 8 till 1 doing what you do - finishing off with sophisticated liqueurs, a Bart Simpson birthday cake, and a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday sung by the entire restaurant and staff. Not a bad way to spend a birthday, but exhausting! I only had a couple of glasses of wine but still didn't waken up until midday Sunday! I must be getting old ;-) Oh, and the leg's still improving. Have started going out without a stick. Yee Haw! (No, I'm Scottish...) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For email, go to my address and take out the dog. > Oh, and the leg's still improving. Have started going out without a > stick. Yee Haw! (No, I'm Scottish...) Belated happy b's Jim and it sounds like you had a good party. Being Scots I hope that you have sawn up the stick for firewood and not just thrown it away :-))  SignatureT h e - e x t e n d e r ! ! ! ! >> Oh, and the leg's still improving.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Being Scots I hope that you have sawn up the stick for firewood and >not just thrown it away :-)) I still take it with me most of the time, as my right leg is not too heroic. The operated on left leg however just laughs at the very idea of using a stick. And it's a fancy metal one, Sandy. Collapsible. Just like I was... :) Jim * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For email, go to my address and take out the dog. >>Being Scots I hope that you have sawn up the stick for firewood and >>not just thrown it away :-)) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Jim I've got one of those folding sticks too, Jim. I'm trying desperately hard to walk without using it, but I'm starting to waddle like a bl***y duck lol. It's probably cos I've had both the left hip and knee done and both joints don't seem to want to pull together in the same direction - if you know what I mean.

I notice that as the weeks pass (I'm up to 12 now) things slowly get better. Hope you get the same...

I had the left hip replaced in August 05, then revised in January 05. I'm not optimistic of any further improvement. Why have a joint done once if you can get it done two or three times??! After all, the NHS have to practice on someone lol Splodge >I had the left knee replaced in 1998, 1999 and 2000. not one very long operation, one trusts? >I had the left hip >replaced in August 05, then revised in January 05.

[*] as in: there was a young lady called bright, who travelled much faster than light: she set off one day, in a relative way, and came back the previous night. which is silly, since the relativistic time equations don't work like that ...
