New hip secured in place at Wrightington last Saturday.
An early start as I was first on parade...arrived 06:30 without much sleep. I was doing my best @22:00 the night previous to lay loft insulation, ( just) knowing post op it may be awkward crawling into the eaves.
Discharged Monday afternoon. Wished I’d stayed another night as the food was excellent, although the night time disturbance for BP and pain killers was annoying.
I slipped the anaesthetist €10 to give me the max possible knock out juice and I don’t remember being wheeled into theatre. Woke up in recovery with no headache or nausea, wanting tea, toast and marmalade..
Put the crutches into sport mode yesterday and had a single pint in my local early evening after being belly jabbed at my local surgery with Fragimin. Made sure that drink was taken after seeing nursy who may have taken a not very favourable view of my rehydration technique.
Apart from 5 days constipation, so far so good. More beer and a curry was on the cards for tonight, but matters resolved themselves with a little help from S Pod, so the Royal Spice will have to wait for my custom.
