Knees are normally much worse than hips.
Best of luck & seriously think you should consider commode but know you won't.

 

Hopefully they don't put them on the wrong legs mate

 

the wrong legs thing isn't funny. Still remember when i was having my kidney removed one of the operating team came to see me on the ward in the morning of the op and he looked at his notes & went
"so we're whipping out your right kidney"
me "God no ,it's the left one "
Him " oh are you sure"
Me " course i'm ****ing sure"

he went away to check then came back and said "think it best if we use marker pen to identify which one " and promptly drew on me.
Trust me the first think i did on coming round was check where the wound was.

 

What's wrong with that?

 

I had similar with my arm. Doctor wrote right on the paper but it was my left. He wrote on my arm after to make sure (operation was the next day)

 

left & right confuse me almost as much as he 24hr clock

 

It will all become much clearer at 24:05

 

Yes. I think I'll have to go from two to one and then to a stick because I have been on them for so long.

 

Guessing you weren't in the army then?

 

I was an Officer so it didn't really matter as the Sarge deffo knew which was which.

 

Maybe they'll give you a nice new pair of frog's legs ?! @Red Hadron Collider

Good luck with it all though lad and ... ribbit !!

 

It's getting that way.

My mate in Oz (best man at my wedding) emailed me this morning. He called before Christmas and said the next time he's over on business, he'll come up here and he'd like to go to Liverpool. He's from Beaconsfield, but his old feller was from the Pool. He gets here on 9th March, 4 days after the op. I haven't seen the ****er in 4 years - typical

 

tell him to change then

business schedules can always push out 2/3 weeks

 

Get a wheelchair and tell him to wheel you about. Just don't go near the docks.

 

Logistical nightmare. Taxi to Warrington Central, train to Lime Street, taxi etc. Oh and where the **** do I get a wheelchair from?

 

Argos .

 

Can he drive? Hire a car, surely if he's over from Oz he'll have a bit of dosh?
As for wheelchairs, you can get them all over the place.

It depends on his schedule and the amount of pain I'm in, synthetic morphine or not. If the op goes well, I should be just about out of hospital, but they do say 3 - 5 days, so I could still be in.

 

For future reference, should I ever have the extreme good fortune to meet any of you, 'schedule' is pronounced 'shedule' and NOT 'skedule'. Unless, of course, you're a stinking septic
