well, been a while since i updated so here goes!
due to my arthritis refusing to stay under control i have been on steroids for about 4 months. they worked well and i was in a lot less pain and it seemed good, but sadly for every good thing there is a side effect, so now my bones are showing signs of thinning. the worst affected is my femur. it has thinned badly and my once stable hip resurfacing is now badly unstable, in fact it actually seems to be dislocating randomly. so after seeing my orthopaedic specialist at guys hospital i've now been told i need a full hip replacement, what joy!
so i'm feeling a bit in shock and quite down, after all my husband married me as a quite healthy mobile person and now i'm in pretty bad shape!
ok so i've had a dodgy hip for years and arthritis crept up on me slowly but i was ok, i could cope. now i'm on more meds and still on morphine which i was trying to come off.
my moods go from lovely to evil in a short state of time. mostly because i feel so guilty.
my husband and children shouldn't have to look after me when i'm bad, they deserve a decent mum and wife.
oh, well enough moaning, at least i'm getting my hip done by a very god surgeon so that makes me feel better!
