Hi all
@ahipgma thinking of you today and looking forward to your return with two new hips
@ChrissyW my shifts are sooooo short at the moment as I have Annual leave to use as part of a phased rerun over the next two weeks. I worked three hours last night ( fab!) and loved it! Within a few minutes it was as if I'd never been away ( once I reset and recalled all my passwords!!!
)
Sitting in my chair was comfy for most of the time but I made a point of standing/ walking round when I could .
I have a great team of collegues that made sure everything was safe and supported and I feel truely appreciated.
Are you back in school this week for GCSE results?
@Calgal how are you feeling? Did you manage to have a chat with a physio?
I'm off out for a walk now to ' take in of the air' and then return and rest before this evenings shift !
I'm going to get some sparkly ribbons on my reach aid and crutch and will wave it in a dance type fashion when we hear from @ahipgma return ... Probably from a sitting position!
Have a wonderful Wednesday my lovelies

Hey @Mayhip8 glad you enjoyed the back to work. It really helps the old grey matter doesn't it? You are right in that I'm working tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow I'm at a different, local school that doesn't have a post 16 provision to try and recruit to our sixth form and I'll do 2 hrs there and then straight over to our school to go through the results compared to what students applied for ad Friday is a full day interviewing every applicant. I'm hoping I'll just keep getting watered (with coffee!) throughout Friday as I know, from previous years, even nipping yo the loo is hard work but I'll be making sure I stand and move around regularly as I've a bit of a niggle inkling people will just think we are completely recovered/ rehabilitated etc, forgetting that only 4 weeks ago I was still on my phased return!
Well I think @ahipgma should be nearly ready for round 2 looking at the time so let's get those Pom, poms, streamers and cheers ready for her return!

Hey ladies!
@Mayhip8 I was thinking about you (when coherent!) Were there services for your dear friend? Hope that went ok. And what shift did you work going back?
@ChrissyW Rally the pommpoms! I'm going home after PT, then in a couple of weeks, Tahiti? Sitting here eating a hospital breakfast thinking of some exotic locale! You too are back in the thick of work, hope all is going well.
At 63 I dont know about my work status but these kind nurses make me think of
Going back, not maybe not to the bedside,but some patient contact kind of thing.
@Calgal I'm sure you'll do great. My 1st hip was about 80% going in and now I'm back at square one with this one so I'm just going with the flow if this recovery takes a year, so be it.
I'm going to take my pain meds more as ordered at this time-- why be in pain?
So if you need a walking aid or whatever a little longer why not? I think I dropped my cane too quickly last time was in the ODIC times when I didnt need to be!
Remember all your accomplishments and how far you've come! Even your achievement in the bedroom is something to be so happy about. My husband and I have to be patient a while longer and I am looking forward
to becoming pain free in that area too!
So ladies have a good day. Catch you all later, thanks for your love and support, and streamers and pompoms too.

@ahipgma shake it to the left, stand up, sit down, shake it to the right, stand up sit down hippies rule so elevate and ice ice ice!! Ok my attempt at a mini cheer! So good to have you back, truly bionic and bilateral!! Xx
What has everyone else been up to? Worked far longer than expected today, starting at 8.30 and leaving at 4.30 wow! I didn't think I could but I did! I've a full day of interviewing tomorrow when I'll fluctuate in the opinions of students, from good cop to bad cop or vice versa dependent on whether I give them good news about a place, advice an alternate they like/dislike or just have to guide them to a college application!
I'm going yo truly 'chill out' tonight because as us northerners say 'I'm knackered!'

@ahipgma I do hope you are comfortable and relatively pain free - take those meds babe! (And prunes! Lots of prunes!) I'm still in awe of you being discharged home ! But I'm sure your comfy home surrounded by your lovely man will be just the ticket to help you feel as relaxed as you can be ( with your frequent loo visits!) stay safe and ' holler for help' when you need it 
I'm rooting for you sister!
@Calgal I'm pleased you've got your assessment coming soon - I know in the meantime you will do what you can and balance walking and movement fabulously with rest and recuperation just what nursey here ordered!
( oh I'm back at work and bossy aren't I ?!)
@ChrissyW oh! It was a long day for you! No wonder you are feeling 'Knackered' - I do like a northern term! Your job sounds so much more intense and varied than what I think most people expect from our amazing teachers ( big up to you babe) - I do note I have the ' babe' description in my writings tonight!
I hope tommorow goes well and then you can down tools for the bank holiday weekend we have in the UK this weekend
I've been round at my friends today helping them with funeral arrangements etc- although they have it in hand - the daughter who is just 21 has done so much already in addition to caring for her mum who has MS -she cared so well for her dad during his illness - it breaks my heart to see such a young girl be so involved at such a young age - she is a credit to herself and her family . The funeral is next Thursday and it will be tough yet a celebration of his life
I'm considering doing a reading at his ceremony - I am used to public speaking and just hope I can deliver it well in memory of him without crumbling.....
As for other plans this weekend I drew the short straw..(!!) like I've been off work for months and I'm working the bank holiday weekend. Still on short shifts so will hopefully get some ' me time' to do whatever necessary. One of my main tasks is to get the ' school uniform' run done.... Shoes, shorts, blouses and blazers( my young adults grew so much over the school holidays!! ) Not complaining ( much) but it's a second mortgage job as their school have a very expensive uniform
....
In the big scheme of things it will all be well....
In addition to this my son is going on his first flight in a private plane tommorow morning with a pilot from the museum he volunteers at
. The pilot is ex RAF and used to flying in his private plane but mummies tummy is " slightly" wobbly at the thought !!!. I realise it's a fantastic opportunity and he is sooooooooo exited!!!!
So ladies - on that note I wish you all a peaceful comfortable night/ day
I feel it's time again to thank you all for your ongoing support and I look forward to hearing from you soon- it's a great comfort to me that we continue to stay in contact..
Love and hugs

Hi all @Mayhip8 and @Calgal
Yes I got discharged and was riding home in the car no more than 22 hrs from when I was on the OR @ChrissyW thanks for for the stand up sit down because I can barely do either. This leg HURTS. I'm medicating and icing like crazy but whew, what pain! Dear hub is doing it all for me, bless him. I have to keep telling myself there is nothing wrong, that it's just normal post op pain. Every day it'll get a little better. This the worst.
I read all the stuff you all are doing and I wonder if ill ever be able to do that again
Well I know I will, but right now it seems so far away! The surgery went well, everyone signed off on me as set to go.
I have oxycodone on board and tramadol if need be. I plan to stagger them like we do with patients ,@Mayhip8 with the biggest dose at bedtime, of the strongest med. So theres my whinge as you dears would say.
It does feel good, though to be DONE.
I pray that all need of surgery stays away for a long long time. I did have a good summer, amount of pain was minimal.
There is much to look forward to. There!
Its sounds like a lovely memorial thats planned@ mayhip8. I bet you get through it just fine, but if you dont, tears are understandable.
And I forgot at least you're working abbreviated hours .We can do as little as four hour . They'll take you any way they can get you for the bedside nursing. I miss the collegiality too but definitely not the stress.
I really am out of the loop with back to school. Do all UK kids go in uniforms?
Also there is other stuff, backpack stuff, pens pencils notebooks galore, lunch boxes I remember those days. Ca- ching
Ca-ching as we say in the States.$$$$$!
But I loved my girls being home and I miss it . Anne (older daughter) asked if she could bring me something. I told her just bring Ari! She will be my best medicine. I was entertaining myself by going back to the beginning of this thread and reading. Weve been together all summer! Thank goodness, we had such fun. May it continue!

Good morning
Yes! Just as much fellow hippy advice as nursey advice! I am maxing it out within the boundaries set for me!!
We learned from the last time.
Maybe @ChrissyW can write a cheer about paracetamol, oxy, and tramadol!
PT coming sometime after 9 am this morning, to doman assessment. After this sub visits me my guy from last time will take over,-- someone that I really liked.
My beloved is home taking care of me today!
Hope work is going well
Talk to you soon -

Hello my lovelies. Glad there's still a positive vibe going on. Remember @ahipgma , small steady steps a la 'hare and tortoise' . Also @Mayhip8 if you feel up to that reading go for it otherwise you may later look back and wish you had. Today was busy, some disappointed young people but also some happy ones joining post 16. Sadly I know I didn't get enough hydration but I eclectic for all of us that becomes part of wiring life and bring 'busy, bust, busy!!'
I'm thinking about a cheer but the on,y thing that keeps coming to my head when codeine, tramadol and paracetamol (a new cocktail maybe!) is the song by afroman, if you remember it...'because I got high'. Not appropriate so I shall get the o,d grey matter thinking about an appropriate cheer! Happy evening, peaceful sleeps and catch you all later (probably tomorrow)
Xxx

Morning. Well @Mayhip8 did you take the codeine in honour of afroman and @ahipgma . Like you I've always seen that song as so funny, so maybe it can be our 'innapropriate anthem' in the early days of med supported recovery! Hopefully I haven't offended anyone and made you chuckle. Anyway hoping everyone has a good day. The sun is glorious at the moment and we UK ladies are in for what has been predicted as a warm bank holiday weekend. Well @Mayhip8 , @Calgal and @ahipgma thought I'd let you know I'm having a last minute holiday, leaving early hours of the morning and popping over to Spain to finish the school holidays with sun, sangria and sand (no swimming costume will be worn may I add as I don't do water as I've said before). Sending healing hugs to anyone who needs them, especially you @ahipgma in these early days. Also @Calgal hope your feeling more 'chipper' and at @Mayhip8 just get humming afroman, it will bring a smile to your face

Good progress @ahipgma ! See, you're in good hands! And @Mayhip8 , on the meds again after your working week is probably to be expected. Not long now till you get the r& r treatment again. And that naughty @ChrissyW - going away for yet another holiday!!! Without us?! Hmm. I had a fab day yesterday (see my thread) so am going to enjoy our amazing sunny weather this bank holiday weekend with a happy heart. I'm going to make some peach jam and a first batch if salsa, then going over to sons house to consult on his garden. He will do the hard work but I'm bringing the tools. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Thanks again for the support and friendship and taking me under your wings.

POD 3!
Showered and it felt so good! After that first day home my pain has been well controlled with taking meds as ordered.
Its beautiful, sunny and dry here.
Slept great again last night, but woke up with a kink in my neck. What fun stuff is everyone doing this weekend?
Got out the trusty prunes @Mayhip8
I took so much prunes and prune juice when I was pregnant to counteract the prenatal iron.Yum. I feel a nap coming on and right now my pain number is a zero.
So grateful for the pompoms and the prayers!!!

Happy Sunday to all--
Got up this morning with a fair amount of pain but so remember this from last time.
Took all my meds and an oxy. Fresh postop I could barely stand, now I can unassisted. No one home right now but when hub comes home will shower.
Some friends are bringing dinner and we invited them to stay. So my challenge will be to put myself together enough so as not to scare them. Cutting back a wee bit on my stronger pain meds but still am going at it more aggressively than with the first hip. So our ms Chrissy left us to go to Spain? Lucky! Realizing that this journey is about 3 years long with continuing loss of function for me. So better put my head in tortoise mode!!!
Love to all @Mayhip8, @Calgal and @ChrissyW ---- ole'

We'll it's a long night!
I'm aching and feeling pain
I did two separate lots of long walks yesterday and definitely did too much as I was exhausted and literally couldn't walk last evening my Unoperated hip went to spasm and my operated leg went to jelly !
I'm in bed now (03.30 ) can't really sleep as I'm in pain so I've taken some paracetamol just now to hope it calms it down.
So to pass time I'm going to do some online shopping!
Just thought I'd post to say I'm thinking of you @ahipgma and hoping your doing ok
I wonder if @ ChrissyW is dancing the Flamenco on her Spanish break ?
Maybe we could plan another virtual vacation as soon as you're up Up to it?
I'll pop by at a more godly hour later
In the meantime
Love and hugs

Hello my dear, I see you were just on here recently so maybe this is a more godly hour than you might think! I am doing ok but my 1st operated leg went to jelly a bit today too because it's trying to be the strong one now, my newer hip is doing what you might think--- cramping here, aching there, swelling just a bit, but this time I'm taking more oxy more often with tramadol in between, icing and elevating, till I'm going nuts---let my legs hang dependent while I read the newspaper and the newbie protested! I am also on Celebrex once in the am x 2 weeks ,1 gram of tylenol 3 times/ day for 2 weeks, plus tramadol and oxy prn
My issue is constipation so its prunes prune juice and docusate all day long.
I'm keeping you in thought and prayer as your friends service comes near, and hoping work is good for you and a distraction as you wait out the 20 plus days till your arthritic hip is gone FOREVER. I hope Chrissy is flamenco-ing up a storm for both of us.. Yes!!!
A virtual trip!! ASAP! Take care.
Love and hugs right back

Oh no. Bad nights are 
. How much are you working? How long will you work before hip #2 op? Maybe it's just been a bit much for both lefty and righty this past week. My acting nurse Rx for you today is meds, ice and rest!!! Recliner is calling your name. Take care of yourself, the ODIC doesn't need any new members! 
. Sending hugs and healing.
