judygram Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Glad to have you back Mandi, we sure have missed your company here. You certainly have had a difficult time and I know you are struggling but you are on the right road now and hopefully it will be all down hill from now on. Buddy has been a lifesaver for you hasn't he, he loves his mummy and you have to stay well for him now. So sorry about your granny but death is a part of life and at 85 I'm sure she had a long and happy one and is now enjoying her just rewards. Glad you are back and don't stay away so long, we want to hear from you more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 so good to hear from you mandi, i was just thinking about you the other day. what did they do to your hips? i have titanium pins and plates in my pelvis to keep mine in place, looks nasty on the x-ray but it got me out of my wheel chair, then i had crutches, then a walking stick the whole process of learning to walk again took me 2 years but i can walk without any aid now you're a strong person with a loving husband and gorgeous grey bird, you can do it! :kiss: i'm so sorry to hear about your gran passing. my thoughts are with you xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest briansmum Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 is there no more they can do than that? do you have a relly good orthapedic surgeon. mine wouldn't stop till he'd fixed me and still wants to see me every few months. i dont think they should be telling you to go home and rest if the same keeps happening :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandiskem Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 beccy i have got hyper mobility syndrome which means it will keep coming in and out of joint no matter what happens i was born like it apparently but it dont show til ya in ya 20s hence why it started in shoulders at 23.it will spread into other joints what i have got left thats not got it yet. unfortunatley the specialists i seen wont do any op for replacements because simply they wont work i havent got much sockets left nor the joint itself.mine are like a rubber band snapping. been told this since i was 23 theres nowt they can do .
