HIP OP

I am talking about my operation due to arthritis. I had to have a hip replacement prematurely because it became so painful & restricting. It took place nearly five weeks ago now & I was in hospital for five days. I did not have any stitches but it was miraculously glued together & has healed faster than I expected, albeit quite painful to start with. I did not expect the boredom that ensued while being housebound. At first I watched with interest, from my window, the view of the fast growing Erith Park but I’m afraid the novelty has now worn off. My friends & relatives have been very good in visiting me a lot. Also I have now got down to the jobs I had been putting off, like some needy sewing & sorting out the growing mountains of paperwork. I am going for short walks & all being well, on the 14th February, I hope to go to the TPAS Awards at the Connaught Rooms in London. Our Orbit Reporters Group have been short listed for an award. The group is the outcome of the Resident Media Reporter Training which took place last year.
