Thanks for the thought
@Layla. I'm doing fine, thanks - in fact, I have to remind myself not to overdo it, as I often forget I've had an op! I've been Scottish dancing a bit more (and must admit that I had a twingeing in my thigh after one particularly energetic session), and now walk without thinking about it. I'm amazed by how many of my acquaintances seem to be having the "op" now; people who I never thought were having any problems. Definitely an age thing.
I keep an eye on the forum, and would comment if I thought my ramblings would benefit anybody, but mostly others are giving good advice so I stand back. I'm a bit disappointed that I won't get any more check ups, though, as I'd have loved an x-ray to see how the bone has grown around the implant.
Husband is doing well. Still a bit breathless on occasion, but generally back to rights. He, too, has been discharged from the hospital, which I find more disconcerting than he does, as I like to think somebody's keeping an eye on him! It's all the more worrying when a heart attack comes out of the blue to somebody who doesn't appear to be a candidate for one. I also worry about the genetic element, and keep meaning to see if the "children" should be checked.
I've got an appointment at the dentist for a filling this week, and he thinks I may have a crack in the tooth, in which case he may have to remove it. I keep asking him about antibiotics, and did apologise for being a bit PTSD-y, but pointed out that I wouldn't have been in such a fine mess if I hadn't had the original abscess/infection. I do think we have to look out for ourselves on medical matters.
Anyway, I hope all is well with you and yours? It's cold and windy in the UK at the moment (particularly windy, but probably not as cold as you are used to), and I'm looking forward to the summer. I feel as though I missed it last year.
Best wishes to all.
