Well I'm back in the land of the living! Got a hell of a suprise when the docs said I could come home yesterday...thought it might've been today at a push but more than likely Monday next week. But nope, ended up saying auf wiedersehen to the hell hole that is City Hospital in Birmingham (makes me thankful for Heartlands!)

 

The old hip seems to be healing nicely which is good. Still aches like f*ck but at least I'm not in agony anymore which is a very good thing! There's a 20% chance the top of the hip that's been rejoined might die so they're going to keep an eye on my progress over the next 18 months...really don't want to be having a hip replacement at my age!

 

Just spent the day taking things easy, getting more used to the crutches and dipping into all the posts I've missed during my "incarceration"...and of course reading all the well wishes on Lucie's post. What can I say guys? It's reading stuff like that, that make me proud to be a member of this club. It really means a lot! :)

 

Leigh.

nice one bud, get well soon and follow the docs advise regarding load bearing ect, it will make your recovery shorter in the long term.

 

does this now mean the club wheel chair is whipped away from chunk and sent to friday?
