Sapper - the operation on my right hip was easy - heard the surgeon cracking jokes to the nurses and thumping in the replacement woke up on the way out of the theatre - the left was a bit more bother - sitting waiting for the surgeon who came in and asked " how are you to-day" - so I replied "100% less seniors discount" - he then said that he would soon fix that -and he did - took me hours to wake up but then same again - no pain - bit of discomfort that was all even when the young Filopino nurse tried to give me a new anus - was released from Hospital next day - walking !

Then for a month had daily visits from nurses - physio's et al with walking - walking - walking - even the dog walked slowly with me !!

I chucked the warfarin years ago - touched off psoriasis - not good !
Cheers
