Well, they let me out. Jean surely deserves a custom title under name now "bionic woman" or the like. I'm worried it may mean I won't be able to have a woodland burial. |

Have you danced on any tabletops yet? How did the op go? Details please (I'd like to be prepared, just in case) |

Thanks, ev. I'll post some details later. At the moment I can sit at the computer in reasonable comfort, but I'm finding it easier to read than to write. I think typing disturbs my hip. I'll have to try just with my left hand.
Haven't taken any painkillers this morning, though.

Of course you will, you will be bio(nic) degradable. ;D I'll get me poncho.  Good to see you up and about (figuratively speaking). AH |

Nah, don't worry about the metal bits. They'll give the archaeologists summat to worry about in 1,000 odd years time.
Or should that be the astronauts?

You might be used to prove that we were a lot more advanced than previously thought, Jean (a bit like when they find the spaceship under the ancient skellingtons in Quatermass and the Pit).

I know we've discussed Quatermass and the Pit before, but I always like to say that I was never allowed to watch it when it was on t.v. in the fifties and was sent to bed before it started. Even as an adult, I still don't know what it's about really. Mr. E. tries to tell me, but I think he was hiding behind a cushion when it was on - he being a year older than me and allowed to stay up and watch it. The very name Quatermass sends a little shiver down my back, even now. It was all very mysterious. |

Makes Doctor Who look like Noddy has Herbal Tea with Little Weed. I even have the script in my possession. Fact.  (Only ours had doors.) [PS: Still in a sulk.] |

JEAN! I'm sorry, it was probably me that did it. I can't help it you see.
Anyway, please please tell us about your op. I do want to know. Don't miss anything out. I like lots of details.

And tell us what you thought of Quatermass (Weyland - I have the scripts of two of them, published by Penguin).
(And see if you can put the details of your operation behind something that you have to click, please. Some of us might be eating.)

See a hip replacement? Is what they're saying in this thread true? Do they really like use a metal bit and sew it into your body? Is it a silver colour?
So, in thousands and thousands of years when they're excavating our tombs, they're going to find little metal hip bits and (not for you Jean, but for some people) big inflatable booby inserts . . . and they're going to wonder about us. Or maybe by then they'll be so totally rebuilt from birth that they'll mock our primitive medicine.
I mean, we mock medicince from 100 years ago, even 50 years ago, because we know so much more now. That's why I'm always skeptical about doctors and the like telling me their earnest messages. Because I know that, in 100 years time, people will know they were wrong.

"Never trust the experts". Having said this, I'm just about to go for a mammogram. I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Well, not the men, obviously. They'd probably faint. Jean, details of your hip op? |
