Lovely news, so glad you got to have a chat, I bet you feel better for speaking to her xx

Aw that is great news Kaz!!

When I was on my management placement with District Nurses last year, I visited a few patients who got home after such surgery and made sure they were ok, most didn't need many visits and had a good, speedy recovery, sounds like your AR will be the same!

FABBY!!

That's good news lax im afraid they offere help here
Then it just doesn't happen because of cuts

[Kaz]

Thanks everyone She is indeed a character - she told the surgeon she wanted to be climbing in the Lakes by the summer or else!

Thanks Poll, my MIL was a District Nurse for years and loved it

Saundra that's awful, isn't it?

[Kaz]

Had another longish chat with AR this evening - my cousin was there and he'd just cooked her a lovely roast pork dinner She is feeling much better, and getting lots of care people coming in - help with bathing and hair washing etc - and sounded much brighter

She was telling me a bit about the surgeon she had, as apparently he pioneers a new technique for hip replacement His name is Apthorp and I googled and found this She was an NHS patient but seemingly very lucky to have such a great surgeon She just has a small wound on her bottom rather than a massive scar to worry about

[JoM]

What an interesting read! It sounds like she really will be ready to climb mountains by the Summer!

[Kaz]

I think she's been very lucky with her surgeon! When I googled I also found a link to an old DM article, where he was listed in the top 10 for hip replacements in the country

AR didn't have epidural though - she was offered it but preferred to be asleep. Think I would too

[JoM]

Oh definitely! I'd have nightmares forever more if I was awake
