Great ,I arrive at the hospital they X-ray me .. The dr says your hip has had it and the other one is not much better .. Yes I know .. My husband calls my dr and tells him where I am .. The hospital give me a cortisone in the hip ouch that hurt .. Anyway ha ha I,m limping but I am up on two feet .. Go home and rest .. Next day back to my dr .. Okay you need this operation now .. Okay I consent but both hips ..
So on the 23 rd of June 2014 I had a double hip replacement . At Sydney private att Ashfield ..

Then to Alwyn at strathfield for rehab .. Omg it was like a resort beautiful caring meals beautiful gym modern hydro pool warm. Yep loved it there for 14 days. 27 nov my other knee full replacement .. Yes it hurt but no where near as bad as the other one… Strathfield private back to rehab. .. 6 th dec in rehab.
