Dodgy hip update

Well it is official I do have a dodgy hip - Chondrosarcoma to be precise. It means I have to have surgery to rmove it and they will put in a metal implant to replace the bit they remove. It is a bit like having a hip replacement - I am going bionic!
It is a relief to have a diagnosis and now I have almost ready for anything that is thrown at me! Having 3 monster aliens to make has been a welcome distraction and I was cheered up no end this morning by the arrival of 1.5 kilos of bright green wool. Now I can finish Gordon and send him on his merry way.
Knowing my friends in cyber space(and not just the green wooly ones!) are looking out for me is a huge comfort - just look out for the bionic woman hopping your way!
 My little guys are featured in Cuteable too! Go Aliens!

    I am glad that you have a diagnosis and can start on the path to feeling more comfortable and better. When is the surgery date?

  4. I love your little sweet aliens!!! The green is a perfect color and suits them well ;)

    SHOOT about your hip.. Yes, answers are swell, but that kind of answer with the word 'surgery' with it is a tough on. Praying on you, my dear.
