Hi Carol, I checked the lunar phase for the 7th, and it will be a few days before the new moon. Sounds weird, but they've done studies and found that surgeries done around before and during the new moon phase have less complications and less bleeding issues than surgeries done around the full moon. It's along the lines of the way the moon effects tides. So the change of surgery date is a good thing.
I understand your anxiety. Good thing is that the anesthetics and pain meds they use these days can make it a lot easier. Just to prepare you...expect the first few days after the surgery to be painful. It will take a little while before you're up to skipping. But once it heals, I'm sure you'll be doing those cartwheels. You're in my prayers.

Hi Spiders All, I was supposed to be going into hospital for a hip replacement - long awaited, and would be turning cartwheels with joy, if the hip wasn't too bad at present! - which was scheduled for the 15th May. That gave me a few weeks to get over the shock, I thought, but this morning at 7.40 I received a call from the hospital to say the op. had been brought forward to the 7th May - next Tuesday! Needless to say, I will be so glad to be able to walk without pain, sleep without pain, stand up and sit down etc., but I am terrified at the thought of going into hospital. I have never had a serious hospital operation before, but am consoling myself with the fact that this time next week, it will all be over, and I will be skipping about a bit like a spring lamb... So - please all think of me on Tuesday! Carol - in North Norfolk UK 'Deliver is, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our Day.'
