Hard To Say I'm Sorry - my version!

By the time you read this I will have had my operation and hopefully will be home within a few days with a new hip. Hip Hip Hooray!

My sister, Maggie at Nuts in May, will have kept you informed about how the surgery went on Saturday 13th.

Now, for your amusement I found this YouTube of a favourite song, "Hard to say I'm Sorry" which I modified to tell you all about the correspondence from the hospital before the operation after my long wait. I found a very funny non vocal version of a very focused Saxophonist with his marvellous rendition.

If you have been watching my Freddie Bluelights series you can see this player is brimming over with testosterone making him the leader of the pack and strut around the restaurant.
Also you will see the lady introducing the act with about 10% of her daily word allocation of 20,000 words. Very sorry for the delay with the music - anyway here it is.





Hope it works out - just sing along to the music with these lines.

Had a letter from the ward today.

They wrote to say, "At last, my brother,

Come to and so us Saturday


Your hip to discover.

Hold on now - it's hard for us to say we're sorry.

We just wanted to say,

After all that you've been through, we will make it up to you. I promise you,

And after the surgery is done, your hip is part of you and won't let go.


We know you couldn't stand another day, in that way, with your body

Hurting night and day, as you lay in every way, in the bed you love


Hold on now. It's hard for us to say we're sorry, but we wanted to know,

Hold on now. We really want to tell you we're sorry and may never let you go!

After all that you've been through, We will make it up to you - we promise you

And after all that's been said and done and when your ready we'll let you go.


After all that you've been through, we will make it up to you - we promise to


You're gonna be the lucky one."


I said I'd pack a suitcase right away


for my stay" - oh brother!


"For a four or five day holiday, from my son's mother.

"Hold on now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to say.

"After all you've been through, we will make it up to you - we promise to.

And after all your hip job is done, and your fit we'll let you go.


Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from my body.

Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.


Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.

Hold me now. We really want to tell you we are sorry and we will let you go.

After all that you've been through, we will make it up to you. We promise to.

And when your hip job is done, and part of you just walk and go.

After all that you've been through, we will make it up to you. We promise to.

You're gonna be the lucky one.

Well that was fun! Do you want to hear the Chicago version?

Oh go on then!!




GREAT NEWS FOLKS. I AM BACK HOME - THEY LET EDDIE RISE ON THE THIRD DAY LOL.

The nurses must have got fed up with my jokes.
When I had my temperature taken I asked a sister, "What is the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer?"
She was scratching her head and asked me for the answer, "The taste!" She was highly amused.
I managed to capture this post before it scheduled so I can give you the latest.
Feeling much better already. The pain is negligible compared to the arthritic hip and I have started my physiotherapy exercises.

  5. Hooray! Glad to hear all went well, Eddie. Since I said a prayer for you, it is all my doing. You're welcome.

    (Before lightning bolts split my head, the thanks would, of course, go to God. He generally doesn't mind a joke, but why take chances?)

  8. So glad you are on the mend! Having been a nurse myself many years ago I can tell you that they probably loved you as a patient. Sending good thoughgts your way!

  9. Yay, Eddie. So glad to hear that your surgery went well and you're on the road to recovery!! My dad had a total knee replacement last May. He recovered well too.

    I hear that the hip replacement is normally well in the recovery stage.

    You be sure to do all that they tell you in the therapy, okay?! Sometimes, we can get lazy with that once we're feeling better - you know, the at home exercises :)
