Hi, my name is Christopher247! Second hip replacement. Support to replace bed with orthopaedic one.

Christopher247

Good evening

my name is Christopher and I’m awaiting a second hip replacement surgery (revision). I had my first replacement in May 2007 at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary at the age of 27. This was due to a childhood infection and then hospital misdiagnosis.

My hip has been wearing and tearing now over the last two years and I’m in a lot of pain. My landlord won’t support me to replace the bed to get an orthopaedic one or support to get one similar so I am asking are there’s any charities offering grants to support me in getting a new bed

I now live in London

kind Wishes

Christopher

Hi @Christopher247 and welcome to the online community!

I can see that you've received some great suggestions from @Kimmy87 already so I won't add anything at this point but please let us know how you get on. 😊

What I have done (and I hope you don't mind) is add a little more information to the title of your post just to make it easier for others who are scrolling the forum to quickly see what it's about. They might have had experience and can add input, or might have the same concerns and benefit from the answers to your post.

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. If you have the opportunity, please have a look at the categories. Coffee Break and Games Den are both great places to socialise and have fun. They always bring a smile to my face anyway 😊

All the best,

Holly.

Hello

I genuinely appreciate your support and advice here. I’m hoping to get my rebook surgery in the New Year however I am having difficulty because my current property in London has stairs and I find it painful to navigate them for to my pain. I have found it hard to get a council house and I can’t get a private let due ti then saying sorry no DSS
