Ive been having problems with my hip !!! Not many people know that but those that do have been so kind and thoughtful when i have needed to catch my breath and pull myself together.
A year last April i took myself off to my GP complaining of a nasty little niggle in my groin, i thought maybe i had pulled a muscle or suchlike. This little niggle was annoying and every so often became a big niggle so i went and complained thinking i would get some excersise for it and be told to buy some anti inflammatory tabs. I was surprised when my Doc said she thought i ought to have an xray on my hip - my hip didnt hurt or did it ? The niggle was in my groin and i thought my hip was way higher up. I went for the xray a couple of weeks later and was told when i went to get the results that i did indeed have a degenorate left hip ! I was told that in time i would have to have a replacement hip. I was rather upset by this news thinking (wrongly as is happens) only old people needed this kind of operation - Doc said that actually no a lot of women between the age of 45 and 55 had the op.
So fast forward 14 months and the little niggle had well and truly passed the big niggle had well and truly passed and a coursing pain had well and truly taken over. I now find it extremely painful to walk a small distance - my younger daughter had a paper round and i kindly offered to do it for her whilst she went socialising i was only halfway round the round (?) when the pain took over and i wanted to crawl home on my hands and knees. My beautiful grandaughter is not getting the best of me as the best of me has left along with the cartilage around my hip joint. So another trip to the surgery was called for I said not only am i ready but that i felt desperate now for the op. So on August 11th i will be having surgery - as i said to my consultant.. above i feel 25yrs below 95yrs so please put the hop back into my hip so i can just get on with a pain free life.
