Hip hip hooray!

[intertext]

I'm getting a NEW hip... better than before... Probably in June, maybe July depending on if I have to teach in May/June to make up for being off this term. It means that I won't get much of a holiday this year, but then a holiday wouldn't be much good in pain and hardly able to walk. NEXT year, there'll be no stopping me! Never thought I'd be so pleased at the prospect of having surgery. Yay!!!

oooh, that sounds scary. But I know the fear would subside with knowing it'll help your life. I remember my mom having to go for emergency surgery to remove her galbladder--she was so scared, but then I told her to think about not being in such pain anymore and she was okay!

Excellent - hope all goes well.

You hippy, you! Best wishes for a fast and full recovery.

I know what you mean ... I never thought I'd be disappointed at not qualifying for surgery for my back.
