    Are you feeling ok @amazingblazing628 after your falls? Have you been for the cytoscopy? It sounds like you definitely need to be seen soon by a neurologist. I hope they give you an appointment soon. Do you have other people living with you?

    Hi to all.

    My hip is still sore from when I went lightheaded the other day.

    My husband /partner lives here but he was out when I ended up on the decking so I was on my own after my son went home.

    I am having my superpubic catheter put in on the 18th if my A1c test comes back OK.

    I've been asking my partner to put me the cat flap in the door for Months and he's only Just doing it after all this time.

    I just hope I get to go in hosp on Friday for my operation done and find out about the bleeding from my bladder.

    Sorry to hear the hip is still sore @amazingblazing628, can I also ask if you've had anyone to check if your home needs adaptations at all? Just you mentioning your partner only just installing the cat flap lit a light bulb in my head to ask about that. Your Local Authority can assess and help adapt your home so it's easier for you to get around.

    Sorry to hear about your fall.

    If your hip is still sore it sounds like you need to get it checked out to make sure you haven't injured yourself.

    Take care.

    Hi to all,

    I did say to the doctors about my hip & she said I will be fine with Phyisio.

    Not very helpful.

    Maybe the physiotherapist will be more helpful.

    An X-ray would have been useful for any diagnosis.

    That's disappointing @amazingblazing628. Have you got a date for the physio? Hopefully they'll be able to suggest some exercises to get it feeling more comfortable.
