I just need to phone the muscular skeletal clinic back within 6 month's to be placed on the hip replacement list so I will see how things go. My Pauline had a hip replacement done approx 1997 and it's still fully functioning without any pain. Although after her stroke it does not get put under the same pressure as before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my hips assessed at 08.30am at the muscular skeletal unit and confirmed replacements needed although I will put off as long as possible. I hope everyone has a great day. I went yesterday to see the hip specialist, it is 12 months since I first went where I put the replacement off for 12 months. I have Arthritis in mine and it is well worn. However the pain has increased and I have bitten the bullet and gone on the waiting list, I have been told around five months wait, I will be having the op on the NHS but at the local BUPA hospital. I only need one replacement at the moment and don't want to wait any longer as I know I am putting stress on the good hip. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted April 20, 2023 #44983 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Afternoon all, day started lovely and sunny but the wind is cold, Now the rain is beating on my window, wish Spring would warm up! @grapau27 sorry to hear you need both hips replaced. My Dad had one done at 70yrs old and I always said he was leaping about like a gazelle after! He had the second one done 10 years later which took a bit longer to recover from but he was 80 then. I’m sure it will be worth it to get them done. Edited April 20, 2023 by P&O SUE 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted April 20, 2023 #44987 Share Posted April 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Harry Peterson said: My father was from Cudworth but went to school from 11 in Barnsley. He had a few local words, such as pikelet for what’s a crumpet in the south, tabs for ears, and a few others I can’t remember. All the thee and thou was removed at school I think, but I’m not sure that’s Barnsley anyway is it? My grandparents always said though that ‘Our lad’s not t’same since he moved down south’! Cudworth is Barnsley Harry. It's only a mile away from me. Just darn't road. My accent is neither one nor the other. Here they think I 'talk posh' and further south they hear the northern tone. Neither Mum nor Dad ever lost their southern accent. They always drank their tea from a cap😉 Avril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor who works a couple of days a week for the muscular skeletal team told me last June when I had my first steroid injection in my knee. His referral got misplaced and he sent another one a few weeks ago when I had my second steroid injection in my knee. I phoned last week to chase the referral and today's assessment confirmed what he said. We have 5 cruises booked so I'm reluctant to do anything until next July.

My grandma drank her tea from a saucer - but only ever when she was trying to embarrass my mother in a cafe or restaurant. The rest of the time it was very definitely a coop, rather than a cap. And seeing that interpretation of the pronunciation reminds me that everything, absolutely everything, had to come from the Barnsley Co-op. With a dividend of half a crown in the pound. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad John Posted April 20, 2023 #44991 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Harry/Avril All this talk of Yorkshire dialect and localities brings back many memories. My first job was in local government at Brierley Hall and my late mother-in-law lived in Monk Bretton. I was born and brought up in Hemsworth and used to see Geoffrey Boycott in the local Barclays Bank on a fairly regular basis. Think he was paying in money which his mam had caught in her pinny! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted April 20, 2023 #44996 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) My dad has had both hips replaced twice and both knees replaced once as well He got arthritis early from being a goalkeeper (all the diving around in training in the wet) So he had both hips done in his early 50s and then again in his early 70s as the replacements back than weren't made to last so long He's 79 now Edited April 20, 2023 by Interestedcruisefan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
