I can have my hip replacement within 2 weeks if I go to a hospital miles away from here Hinchingbrook nr Cambridge. Now this will be easier for my mum to come and visit, but she will probably be the only person who will, as its too far for anyone else, and my OH can no longer drive. I was told that transport would be free there and back for me, so thats not a problem. Should I go for it or should a wait the extra couple of weeks for the local hospital. This is all about meeting targets by the way, they were very up front about it.

hiya xxxxxxxxx What do you think will be best for you ?

Hi TW how long will you be in hospital for ? If its not to long then i would go for it Rosex

How long would you be likely to be in hospital for Teresa? xx

You will only be in hospital for about a week, so go for it girl then you will be fit and ready for the summer. kathlyn

Were would your follow up appointments be held? Gwyn

hard choice teresa, maybe the sooner the better? Caz xxx

What would be easier for all you as a family? Which would you prefer? Could you cope with an extra 2 weeks of your current pain? Penny

If you do well you can be in and out of hospital inside of 5 days, if your pain is severe I'd go for it and be all sorted for when the nice weather comes along! Take care Carol x

Gofor it. You may not get another chance

They say I will be in for about a week, so its certainly worth thinking about Yes the pain has got really bad this winter, on codeine most of the time now along with paracetamol and Ibuprofen, so shake me and I'll rattle. It will be nice to have it done for the spring, so I can go out for walks, which I'm really looking forward to.

You have been waiting so long, TW, it would be great to get it out of the way, I am sure. Hayley and I could always hitch a lift and go and find you:-)) XX BC

Now that would be fun BC, you showing yer bloomers while thumbing a lift LOL

Yeah I agree. For the sake of a week I would be inclined to go for it and get it over and done with xx

OK Cambridge here I come! Was born there!

Well Looks like I could be in, in three weeks, so in a month I'll have a new hip and new lease of life! Yippeeee I'll phone them back in the morning. Promise

I think if it were me T.W. I would go for the one they offered me now......especially if you are in pain.... the reason for this is that you cannot be sure of the one nearer home, or that they would not cancel it and put it back to a later date....

well me thinks in a couple of months time TW will be shaking her hips all over gr lol Rosex

I'll be on stand by to go as your replacement for THE christening :-) Or shove you down the isle :-))) Penny
