    Sorry, I mislead you @Layla and @Mojo333 that ODI episode happened on day 6, just after I got home from the hospital. I'm now approaching 3 weeks post op (tomorrow), and everything is so much better. Finally got outside for a 10 minute walk - I've been delayed due to the weather and another...

    Ha! I may be a seasoned vet of joint replacement @Mojo333 but I rejoined the ODIC on day 6 this time round. Few of us are immune it seems. After almost no sleep for 5 nights before and in the hospital, I came home and sleep for 31/2 hours followed by 10 hours that night. Next day I felt...

    Jan 7th, that's a good date, my 6 week post op OS appointment, a big milestone. Yours will come more quickly than you will believe, though your first tennis match will take a bit longer. @Wayfarer

    Hello @Wayfarer and thanks for your friendly post. I see you've had your hip class already so your op must be soon but couldn't find the date. Whenever it is I wish you all the best on the day and for your recovery.

    Thanks @Jamie it seems there are a lot of us who have suffered through it. I'm hoping when I get my haemaglobin tested on Thursday the result will show I can at least cut down ( I'm very tempted to do so anyway) Otherwise at 2 1/2 weeks PO I'm really doing very well otherwise, and couldn't be...

    Why am I not surprised? @Mojo333 Caring people are always super busy. Well, here's hoping your Sunday at least is a peaceful one. And, when do you ever find time for all your posting?

    Having just been through what must be the worst case of this condition in my long life, I can really sympathise with anyone having to go through it. You must have been on high doses of opiates after your bi lateral @Mojo333 and I'm sure your situation must have been far worse than mine. Thank...

    First off I need to correct a mistake. I'm not taking 500 mg Tylenol 4X in 24 hours, but rather the maximum allowed - 1000 mg. 4X a day. Sorry about that @Jamie It's what comes from me waking in the middle of the night and suddenly deciding I want to get back to the forum when I'm hardly awake...

    Hello everyone, I haven't posted for two weeks,the reason being, after my 2 day flying start I've had quite a few rough days, and haven't felt much like writing about it. Main problems have been under medication and severe constipation. I was sent home with 60 mg codeine 4X a day + 500 mg...

    @Bionic well, all is going very well 22 hours post surgery. Just had nice breakfast and waiting to have blood drawn to find out if haemaglobin is high enough to start walking. I'm told I only lost 150 mls of blood during surgery so should be fine. Got my way with commode and as an added bonus...

    @SwampHiker Thanks for your good wishes. So far this surgery recovery is going better than either of the 2 previous ones. If that continues I might even add my age to my information page so other oldies can be assured it's possible to have as good a recovery as you youngsters. :) :-) (:

    Thanks everyone for your friendly welcomes. And @Jaycey for the recovery articles, which I have been reading. Next challenge will be the dreaded bed pan, which I wrote about earlier. Haven't seen anyone from PT yet or attempted getting out of bed, so it's pretty inevitable. I may or may not...

    Had surgery at 10:15. Back in room by 12:00, after 45 minute procedure. Had very welcome numerous cups of tea, then lunch. Feeling good but tired and a bit headache after sleepless night. Don't know if it will last but can manage to lift log leg up a short distance. So glad this day has been a...
