So i spent 5 day in hospital, apart from three occasions every thing went well i elected to go for an epidural, and o boy, they sprayed my back with something that was colder than the arctic, it was a real pain full cold:mad:.
After the operation i laid in bed with no feeling from my waist down, and my legs were moving of their own accord:eek:
Last thing was when they took me down to Xray for a follow up picture, they all most killed me getting me off my bed and onto a trolley:mad:
But any way i have my new hip now:biggrin:
