‘Im Indoors has, at long last had his hip replacement. He got a phone call at 10:30am Monday offering him a cancellation “YES!!!!” He said, he was on the Ward by 6pm, surgery 3pm Tuesday. He was home yesterday afternoon and is doing well. However he is a bloody awful patient! Daughter will be keeping an eye on him whilst I hold the fort at work until she goes back to Uni next Saturday. Please send me good vibes so I have the strength to walk away and not use his crutches as weapons!
I love him lots but, sometimes, just sometimes....... 😂😇🤦♀️

To be fair, he’s been in a lot of pain and is not used to or comfortable with not being independent. He has adopted a “my way or the highway” stance, and both me and daughter have taken the “I’ll be the judge of that” attitude! His demeanour is getting better I have to admit.

My thoughts are with you, I know only too well how the ailing can be a tad awkward to say the least but they do get better!! Phil

They have sorted his meds now so things should improve! The hospital had stopped his meds for arthritis which was fine when he was getting regular morphine but on discharge left him with just paracetamol! Paracetamol wouldn't cut it on a good day with his arthritis so add hip surgery into the mix and the problem becomes clear! Pharmacist in our surgery has reinstated his arthritis meds and given codeine too so peace should now reign in Dyer Towers!

I love the way they stuff you with morphine until you're ga-ga then discharge you out with paracetamol. I save up the good ones for these situations. Constant pain is a pain.

How's the patient today dyertribe ? They'll have him out running marathons in no time Rog The patients is much better today, thank you. Now his pain control is sorted his demeanour is much improved, marred only by the fact that I drove his baby car to the garage for an MOT this morning! We both changed our cars about a year ago and have had no need to drive each other's since He seems to think I might have found it a challenge!! I reminded him I was in possession of a driving licence when he was still in short trousers and have driven many, many different cars since! He has now shut up about it! he's much more mobile but the bruise is well impressive!

Knee is unremarkable but he is having problems removing the felt pen “THR” with an arrow pointing to the hip! I’m attacking it with alcohol tomorrow.
