Tomorrow morning, early on, UK time, I`m having the first of 4 major surgeries I`ve posted about on this site before. First up I`m having my left ankle partially fused, and rebuilt with bits from my knees and and my right hip (which is being replaced in February, so it doesn`t really matter how much they take heh!) Bit nervous, but I`ve read up on it, so I know what to expect, and it shouldn`t take too long to finish if everything goes to plan! I`ll be back on the forum by 12-1pm UK time tomorrow. Just posted this to say thanks to all of you who put up with some of my nonsensical rambling and random posting , and to all who have offered words of support, or just amused me when I`ve been down about it all. My girlfriend says she has noticed a difference in my demeanour since I joined the forum, so its all good! I`ll update this thread tomorrow to let you know how it all goes, and thanks in advance for any replies to this thread. Have to go now, the private hospital that my rugby insurance is paying for is going to shut off the wireless net any minute. Night all.

Best of luck, and remember not to mess with the stitchings. I had surgery a week ago and I'll be damned if it is not driving me nuts to not play with it.

Best of luck to you. Remember to do the exercises they give to you when you go through physical therapy. Definitely helps.

Well I`m back, all stitched up and fused. In plaster for 6 weeks, and then following some rehab, basically learning to walk with what is essentially a different joint, I`ll have my other ankle done! Thanks again for the support ;D
They`ve pushed my hip replacement back to later in 2008, but I`m not worried about that, just glad that the whole process has started.

All of this surgery sounds complicated and painful.

All of this surgery sounds complicated and painful. Its a complicated set of procedures and it can be painful, but at the end of it all it will be sincerely worth it, because I`ve spent the last year in near constant pain. The next steps in the process shall be as easy as this one I sincerely hope. The other ankle and shoulder should be, but the hip replacement may be a longer ordeal. All worth it in the end though Thanks for your thoughts
