My room with a view

I look out into a garden from my hospital room. Also note the chocolate mud cake I shared with Bob.

I got to sleep about 4am and woke at 5. Virtually no pain while I was resting. Feeling a bit in a flux today with people coming and going. Had a mix up with my pills. I wanted more panadol before physio but they gave me the strong stuff. Now I feel like I’ve been out on the town and very drunk.
And dopey.

Saw the doctors this morning and they both said my hip was in an awful state. I’m so pleased I could get in for the surgery. I only saw my surgeon last month. If I wasn’t paying exorbitant premiums for insurance I would be waiting for a year in the public system. I wasn’t even sure if it was arthritis or bursitis when I saw him. No wonder the steroid injection didn’t work at Christmas time as it was too far gone.

I’ve been busy getting tubes and blood out of me, doing physio exercises and done a couple of short walks (like to the bathroom). I was still woozy from the spinal but feel a bit better this afternoon.
