Thank you chiarieds.
A bit about me. Hmmm. In my opinion, totally messed up by nhs with hip replacement and MS. Am only quite recently classed as disabled and still quite angry which I expect you can tell. Apologies in advance for my anger. It won’t last -
Welcome to the community @charlie204 Welcome on board.
It's very normal to have lots of mixed feelings after gaining a new diagnosis, or going through a big life change. Have you been trying to work through those feelings in any way?
Do you mind me asking what's been going on with your hip? Did the replacement go badly?
Is your MS diagnosis quite new? -
Hi Tori and thank you for the welcome.
No, I don’t mind you asking.Hip was replaced as a result of a leg fracture near hip joint. It wasn’t a planned thing. Left hip and I happen to be left handed so am now in the process of teaching myself to write with my right hand as due to MS can’t even sign my own name.I’m aware that operations can exacerbate conditions.MS diagnosis was 2017 so I suppose that is quite new in the grand scheme of things. Hip dislocated, apparently quite common, and replaced again. Add to all that, my son is my main carer, giving up his job, me spending a birthday in hospital waiting for an op that was eventually cancelled and going from being a very active company director to not being able to do much at all......you have me, the end result.
