Very thankful to hear it went
Very thankful to hear it went smoothly, Jenny. And i hope you have a relaxed convalesence.
Your rueful story of the night bed change, brought back my recovery from a minor op a few years ago. I had a catheter, but for different reasons had internal pressures which necessiated shifting position to lie in various ways, and suddenly realised that I had knocked the catheter out. I also felt the frustration of the nurse having to change bedding! Rhiannon

Hospital is always an ordeal
Hospital is always an ordeal whatever the reason for your stay. I would be anxious too, not knowing quite how your body will cope with movement and unknown levels of pain. You're also trapped, surrounded by strangers. Of course most will look after you well. Hopefully all that recouperation will bring you lots of writing material and ideas for your notebook. I wish you a very speedy recovery, Jenny.

I am pleased you are
I am pleased you are recovering successfully now. Your piece did explain what is like to be a patient for that operation very well. I read it with interest.Toileting can be a big problem, and your piece shows just how important it is to get it right, and to consider the patient. I am sure you are not alone in this. It would be great if the nurses read more of patients' writings!

Well done dear Jenny!
That's quite a story! And I can understand your anxiety. I'm not all that fond of hospitals so if and when the time comes I think I'd prefer to do my own hip operation at home in the kitchen.
You were very brave to go through with it, though I suppose you had little choice, and I admire you for being to able to write about it, warts and wees and all.
Good on you dear Jenny. I hope your recovery is a quick one and I hope 2025, when it gets here is a good year for you.
My very best wishes.
