What am i thinking

[Confusedmum12]

Hi

This vent is really how stupid i am

I was born with a hip dsyplasia and will nee to get two new hips as soon as i turn 25 (i hope). but they have been acting up so much recently i can hardly walk and with a very active and new to walking toddler it is even harder.

anyway my vent is i was recently discussing with dp i would love to get back to the work force soon dp was ok with it but he told me i should really think about it as i have a long list of health concerns.

So today we went for a picnic with our car club is was a great day now but now i totally can't walk and if i want anything i basically have to crawl (yes i am in that much pain) all i was doing was standing around chatting to our mates and chasing ds around which probably a bad idea but i didn't want him to go into the river (which was like 500m from where we were having our picnic but down a steep hill it was safe where we were having the picnic just had to keep a very close eye on ds).


And now i am totally thinking if i can't handle a day out with my friends how the hell am i going to go at work (i only have a background of retail and childcare).



God damn i am so stupid thinking i could


ok vent over thanks for reading.

Hun, you are not stupid. You want to get back to the workforce, that's called looking forward to the future.

After your hip replacements, are you likely to have less discomfort and pain?

you poor thing that sounds so frustrating!how do you cope if it were me id be insane?so im just wondering how much longer till you turn 25 and are able to have the operation? work wise maybe you could do one of those online jobs(sorry i cant reallly explain what i mean my 3 little munchkins are all awake and im sooo tired lol so i cant think straight.)

Hi thanks so much for the hugs.

I don't turn 25 till march next yr and that's if i am lucky as i am not in a private health fund and if i go public it will be a long waiting list and most likely a lot of money up front and the reason why i am not in a health fund is we cannot afford it right now.

After my hip replacement i will probably be out of action for a couple of months as i have to learn to walk again and be in hospital for at least 3 wks.

I have no idea how i deal with it but i know i just gotta keep going otherwise i'll just be hopeless mess and my son needs me.

i have looked on the online wah sites but i don't know which one to trust and i would love to get out of the house and work with other aldults.

Oh well here's fingers crossed

[deany]

best of luck to you

Wow.

I really don't have anything useful to add, but didn't want to pass by after reading without leaving some .

I'm sorry you're going through this. Have no idea how tough it must be with the op coming up and a little boy to look after..and wanting to get back to work.

Good Luck with everything!!
