Briefly, two hip resurfacings, one hip revised and now waiting for the other hip revision.

I have a large lump on my buttock full of toxicity.

I have become rather cross at the medical profession’s economical dispensing of the truth.

I have been told that I may wake up minus a hip and that makes me even more angrier because this should have been dealt with two years ago, when a scan showed fluid around the hip.

Thank you for all the info on your blog – it has been a great help.

Regards

Pauline
