1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gam Nation. Here's my news this time.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: In two weeks, I will be in hospital. I'm having

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: a hip replacement. I had one about eleven years ago, remember,

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: And I couldn't work out, nor could my doctor, why

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: my hip suddenly got so bad. He said, have he

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: fallen off a horse, if he had been in a

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: car accident. I'd had none of those things, but he

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: said when he opened me up for my hip replacement,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: he said, my hip was like a glacier. The bone

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: had just all shredded. And he said, I'd been born

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: with mild hip displasia and we didn't know it. So

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: I was that slight generation that fell through the cracks there.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: So I must have been walking slightly oddly probably my

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: whole life. My other hip had displasia, but no arthritis

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: attached to it. But just in the last six months

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: it started to get really sore, and it started to

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: get more and more sore, to the point where I thought, well,

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: probably sometime imagined in a year, i'd need it. But

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: it's progressively worse. And so Monday week I'm going in

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: to have a hip replacement, and I've got a bit

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: of post traumatic stress about it. Because last time I

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: had two small children under the age of ten at home,

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: and the way the surgery is done, it's keyhole. You're

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: going through the front, so you don't cut all the

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: major muscles up the side. And the surgeon I went with,

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you're in hospital for one night and you go home

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: the next day, and your rehab is walking, motion is lotion.

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: But with two little kids at home, and I get

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: nauseous with pain medication, so I didn't dope myself up

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: very well. So it was a He said give me

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: three weeks and you'll feel fine, and that's true, but

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: they were a tough couple of weeks. So I'm going

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: to be in hospital for a couple of days and

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: then I'll do the show from home for a week,

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: so I'll only be off for a week. But I

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: remember last time too, is that nature of those heavy

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: duty drugs is I just sobbed for a week and

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't aware that I found it afterwards, that medication

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: and anesthetics and things are depressed, so just and I

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: missed my mom who died and all this sort of stuff,

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not normally like that. So it's a tough

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: couple of days. A tough couple of weeks, but I'm

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to it being over. It just it makes

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: you feel so old when you can't walk properly. One

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: of my favorite things in the world is to walk

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: my dog. I can't do any of that. I'm in pain,

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: so I'm taking stuff to sleep and stuff throughout the day,

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: and I don't normally like doing that either. So I

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: know a lot of you listening to this have absolutely

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: been through this yourselves, as have I and even my

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: physio who said their job is often to keep people

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: out of surgery and to help them. He said, the

53
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: hips it's easy, get in, get it done. So that's

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: what's happening. And we've been through this before, you and

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720

Speaker 1: to me, I had a meeting with you. You did not.

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Let's keep this, dal said. He said, You've got to

00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: keep a moving, Just keep a moving. And I'm in

61

Speaker 1: to the hospital after you. Please don't come to the

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: hospit But you know, even the Queen mother has had

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: a hippoplace, so it takes socur in knowing that it'd

67
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: be great. They do them dying for the dime, doesn't

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I remember if someone wants trying to tell me what

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: happens in hit replacement, I said, please don't, don't. I

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: know it's pretty much like carpentry YouTube or don't well,

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: don't don't tell me. Don't tell me. I don't want

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: to know. It's you know what I am going to

73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: be in the zoog to be. Maybe I should be

74
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: there just in case to make sure we're running a

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: radio competition. Tenth call three gets to come on here?

76
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: You know, let this be? Can I just say this?

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: When I first had my other one done, I was

78
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: in my How old am I now? Sixty one fifty?

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: And the doctor said, you're too young to be in

80
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: this pain. It used to be they wanted you to

81
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: wait until you were old enough to you only need

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: one because sometimes you need two in your life and

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: that takes a lot of bone. But the new thinking

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: is you're too young to live in pain like that,

85
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: so do it earlier. And these new ones generally last

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: a lifetime, so if you're in pain, deal with I

87
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: was beside myself with concern. You went out and got

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: drunk that night with Darryl Braithwaite because he was worried

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: about you. Darryl, Darryl, we were both worried about you,

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: and he said, how do you think a man is going?

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: You know, there was like a fair world party for

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: someone you barely knew, so you went to that and

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: it's been all night getting drunk. But I think I'll

94
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: be all right. Brendan don't want to want Daryl and

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: I to be there. We'll come and serenade you. Dory,

96
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: give me your hands, okay, hold my hand. So I

97
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: feel a bit anxious about it, but I'm looking forward

98
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: to coming out the other side of it. So I

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: know a lot of you have been through this and

100
