      @pechelman Yeah...I def thought about asking that. I guess I ended up not doing so because it was causing me so much strife, I didn't want to prolong what I knew was the inevitable. His reaching out to me to give me that option anyway really has been nice. Going to take a hike tomorrow and get my thoughts in order and come with a focused list of concerns I have and see what he says...

      Could be a good time to push for a two day work week, full pay!!

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

        A week ago today, I had a total (Japanese Ceramic apparently) replacement of my lefty (sic) hip.

        Well, a week down the road and, I am already significantly better than I was before the op. I am not in any pain (I forgot to take the drugs yesterday, and I was fine.

        My range of movement is better than prior to the op, and I can positively jog up and downstairs.

        Frankly, it is amazing and I am in awe of the medical team who fixed me.

        I'm at the heaviest I have ever been (about 12lb above where I feel good about myself), probably because I could not do much before the op, and Paula has been rewarding me with loads of chocolate biscuits since

        Physio starts in a week, so I am keen to get 100% fit again and lose those excess pounds.

        For sale, one set of crutches, as new 🙂

              I wish you a speedy recovery @Giles! One of my aunties is the bionic woman at this point - she has an arthritic condition - and has had both hips and knees done. She'd recommend that you do everything the physio suggests; like you say, having the op done gave her a new lease on life too and makes that so much easier!

              Take the dive...

                          The biggest insult when you are playing a BFT is to be asked if it is a decent Bonito 🙂

                              Bonitos are great fun if you are using the right tackle. But when you hook one on tackle designed for 60kg GT's or 100kg Tuna, they waste your time.....

                                      When I had my Hip (H)op, I was told that after 2 weeks I would need to have the dressing removed. The post-operation notes say that I was stitched up with dissolving stitches , so I completed an online form for my local doctor. I was just phoned back:

                                      Surgery - Is that Mr Padmore?
                                      G - Yes (then we do the ID bit)
                                      S - What do you need?
                                      G - I have had a hip replacement and need my dressing removed after 14 days
                                      S - Do you need to have stitches removed?
                                      G - No, they are the dissolving type
                                      S - Oh, we don't just do dressings
                                      G - Actually, the stitches dont seem to be dissolving that well
                                      S - Great, what time would you like to come in

                                      FFS
