FAO Anyone who has had a hip replacement

[gness]

Pre treatment, apart from hip pain, did you have leg problems? I can dig, lift and move heavy weights and bend easily but I am having great difficulty walking and climbing stairs....a real nuisance for a rambler and bird watcher!
My legs will suddenly feel incredibly heavy, seize up and refuse to work after walking a few yards....there are only so many times I can stand still pretending to admire the view. :-) No great pain except in one calf.....they just won't work!
I will, of course see a GP when I have worked out our new appointment system but wouldn`t mind some AB input first.
I'm miffed too because I'm never ill but I'm giving in now and admitting I may have a problem. Damn!

Kiki, it was a sign to Tony :-D

[Kiki-frog]

I understand completely, gness. I had a similar experience with what was supposed to be a sensuous bathtime experience with a bath melt from Lush, and I ended up with gold glitter in places where glitter has no right to go! x

[Psybbo]

Poor gness this turning into a glittering f-arce xx

[gness]

Alba...thanks for grandad offer.....just hoping for someone to say....oh yes, hip...and get it sorted. From what Sqad says it's not. :-(

Tony was quite dazzled. x

[gness]

Alba Uncle...not granddad... mind on way out too. x

[albaqwerty]

Mr Alba's uncle's hips were a success. the knees weren't :-(

We await news on your ventures tomorrow though (and on Wednesday) x

[albaqwerty]

I knew wot you meant xx :-)

[Sqad]

I like the idea of being in bed with you....but knowing female ABers idea of lingerie, I will bring you your gear.

I didn't say that it wasn't from your hip.............but just inferred it.

Don't like the "nerve theory."

There is something that does need excluding.......intermittent claudication.......unlikely, but important to exclude.

As a motorcyclist, hip problems are one of my biggest nightmares ... the thought of no longer being able to get my leg over ...

[tonyav]

Good afternoon gness and the rest of you reprobates[i sorry to hear about your pins starting to seize up, hope your doc can sort you out. x
[i]now tell me more about this glitter].

[gness]

Well Sqad....thank you. Symptoms there fit more than hip so I will get it looked at. I presume I won't die before I've spent Ma's inheritance? Now that would miff me.
Please bring the gear.....mine are still glittery. x

Dave....I'm sure you would find a way. I would like to get a leg anywhere today. I am taking sticks to the paras tomorrow but at least they are purple. x

[Psybbo]

Gawd, he's so excited he's lost his italics again hi tony

[albaqwerty]

purple paras?

tis OK, I only josh.

[tonyav]

Hi ya sibo, yep the glitter got me exited.

[gness]

Hi Tony. Just a bit annoyed I have something slowing me down....but I will fix it!
I put fine glitter in salt and pepper shakers for g daughter to play with. Couldn`t understand why I had glittery pubes....particularly the smear test occasion til I realised she had sprinkled my underwear to "pretty it".

[albaqwerty]

exited, jeez Tony you are having an off day

[tonyav]

LOL, @ glittery smear test.
as you well know I am well stocked with WD40, it may help the hips. And Shhhush, don't tell dave.

[tonyav]

Shuuuuuuut Upppppppppp, alba lol.

[albaqwerty]

I like your off days :-D x

Quite frankly, a glittery smear test could be interesting :-D

[tonyav]

Agree with that alba, bet the nurse doesn't see that to often lol.
