It’s confirmed I need a replacement. Got a pre-op assessment next Tuesday and that usually means you will be getting the op within 28 days following that. So, sometime in Mid April I’m guessing. If so, there’s no way I’ll be mobile enough for The Bash dates. Will be sad to miss The Bash but happy to get the hip fixed. That’ll be both hips replaced - glad I’ve only got two legs
Sorry to hear this, Pauly. You'll be missed.

But it sounds like it needs doing and the sooner the better. Let's hope that things go as well as they did the first time around and that recovery goes really well so that you can join us once again for later Bashes.

Your special little number's just around the corner.

Take care Little Bruv.
