My appointment with consultant is January 18th. My doctor has referred me because my X-rays show how my two hips have deteriorated day in 2 years.
The pain in my right hip is really eye watering. I cannot stand up from my chair. I know a hip replacement will come and I’m a big wuss as I’m scared and worried about recovery time.
My son works 12 hour shifts and my best mate Tony, is 82, struggles with his health, so, after my op I will have to mostly look after myself. I’ve bought a walking frame. I’m going to buy another for upstairs bedroom and am preparing stuff. I’m 72 soon so I am past my sell by date. Plus I have osteoarthritis in my arms- what an old wreck. I feel sometimes it’s all a bit hopeless
