Hi
@Dogmother
You'll notice that I have merged your two threads together as we prefer that members in recovery only have one thread.
This is for three reasons:
1. if you keep starting new threads, you miss the posts others have left you in the old threads
2. it often ends up that information is unnecessarily repeated
3. it's best if we can keep all your recovery story in one place so it's easily accessed if we need to advise you.
Please keep all your questions and updates on this thread. Don't worry that we won't see your question as, between us, the staff read all new posts every day.
If you prefer a different thread title, just post what you want and we'll get it changed for you.
If you need an urgent response to a question, just tag a member of staff.
Tagging other members and answering tags
Here are the instructions on finding your thread,
How can I find my threads and posts?Many members bookmark their thread, so they can find it when they log on.
By the way, you did have a hip replacement, didn't you? I'm just asking because your new thread started with "Hip Resurfacing", which is something a bit different.
