Hi, no I didn’t have to go through that. My father in law however has been sent to the dentist before he can get his hip done.

Hi, thank you, thankfully we don’t have the need for a snow blower. We haven’t had much snow here for a few years now. I am now thinking that I have tempted fate and I will be digging the car out this winter. 😝😝

I'm not sure. Its something that Chelle came across, I had never heard of them either.

Thanks, it’s definitely feels liberating.

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much 😊

Hi the surgery itself was just short of two hours. I had the anaesthetic that just numbs your legs. All I remember was being positioned and the surgeon taking the first cut. Then I woke up as everything was over. Very little trauma as I was out most of the time. They then took me to the recovery ward where they transfused some of my own blood back into me. That took about thirty minutes. Then I was taken to a ward given lunch while I regained the feeling in my legs. To get to a point where I could move both my legs took about another two hours or so. I was able to get up and use the toilet although I only did this because I didn’t like the thought of peeing in bed. The physical therapists gave me a zimmer frame to help me move about before I could get up. You will have very little strength in the leg for a number of days afterwards. I went into the hospital Wednesday morning and was allowed to go home Friday lunchtime. No matter what anyone tells you, you are not going home the same day. Hope this is of some help to you. I was thirteen years younger than your self at time of operation.

Thank you so much 😊

Happy birthday 🥳

Happy birthday 🎂

@@AlanAndChelle Thank you! Same to you!

Happy birthday 🎂

Hi, to some people I may look rich. But I ca assure you that I am not. There are a lot of people way better off than me.

We have plans to change the room around and add a blind and some black out curtains some time soon. 😀😜

@@AlanAndChelle Yes black out curtains are the best!

I did yes. In my defence I’ve never really known what day it is 🥹

Hi Caroline, thank you very much. I seriously thought about cutting the grass yesterday but decided it was too early. On the whole though it’s definitely getting better

Totally agree the battery’s are not up to the job.

Very true! In fact to tell the truth because I wear shorts all the time I felt it on my leg first. That’s how I found out it was leaking 😔😔

It is

Hi Guys, How are you all doing? Not been in touch for a while. Still watching you and enjoying your adventures. Keep up the content please we are enjoying seeing all the new things that you show us :)

Hi Paul, thank you so much. It's getting better each day now. My problem now is that I need to be careful that I don't do anything stupid. As it feels better I get the urge to go do things, but it's still not a good idea. Plus I have been told not to

Thank you so much 😊 it’s getting better slowly. I’m not at the stage of wanting and feeling i can do things but i need to remember im recovering. So so good though 😀

Thank you so much

Thank you much appreciated

Hi Caroline, it was and it was huge loads to see. Sad thing is I remember some of the cars 😝

Ta

Thank you so much Paul

Thanks for the encouragement. It already feels better I don't have the hip pain now just the operation pain.

Thank you so much 😊 already looking forward to better days ahead 😀

Thanks Caroline. It did go well, I had my op in Woodend. For me with maybe one exception, all the staff were great. It was just the say that they sent Michelle away without explaining what was going to happen that was a bit upsetting. More so for Chelle than me I was too nervous to spot it at the time. The other three people on my ward had knees done. One went home the same day the other two were still in when I left. I think that a knee is more involved than a hip. The guy next to me had two hips done at the same time last year. He wasn’t worse off than that but he was able to compare the two operations. He didn’t enjoy any of them. Hopefully you get yours done soon so that you can get some summer enjoyment.

Thank you kindly

Thank you 🙏

Thank you. Chelle is doing everything. I’m being well looked after 😀

@@AlanAndChelle excellent! Speedy recovery!

Thanks guys, hope everyone is doing well. 😀😀

Thank you 😀😀

Thank you so much, we will 😀

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi, Like most family's we have two cars. A fully electric Vauxhall and we also have a Toyota Auris. Which is basically the same as the Prius. That is not a plug in car either. There is plenty of chargers now for the electric car. That said there are a few places that are lacking the fast chargers but they a getting better now. We keep both cars just in case we have a long power cut as most of our charging is done at home. Which is by far the cheapest way.

Hi good morning, It is in fact Spock from the original Star Trek.

Hi thanks. Off to St Mary’s Kirk next.

I only just got in myself. I don’t show that bit. Was touch and go. I was in that much pain when I got in I wasn’t really worried about how tight it was. 😜🤪

Hi Caroline, yeah I can understand that. I do suffer with claustrophobia but it didn’t seam to bother me in there. I did however really struggle getting in with my hip. It was touch and go at one point. 🥹

Thanks. I am putting a lot of hope into the operation. I have heard a lot of positive feedback about it. 😀

@@AlanAndChelle hopefully all goes well

@bodhineylan7183 thanks 🙏

Chips peas and gravy on a barm. That takes me back too. They don’t know what a barm is up here. And as for a special, even I had forgotten they are a thing. Not had one for years. I had steak pie chips and curry sauce. I also throw on a battered sausage as well. And made chip butties too.

I feel your pain 😀

Thank you. Was an effort but I got there.
