Well I got some Dead Sea bath salts today and have been looking forward to having a bath. 

Poured a lukewarm bath and in I go..........bliss

it was so relaxing - I felt great.

And then the problem ......... How do I get out?

had to shout on my hubby as I was well and truly stuck. I managed to get onto my knees and out that way. Was not a pretty sight. 

That's what I get for being too confident.

    Oh dear Poppy, you poor thing I have now created this scene in my head and can just imagine !!!

    I only take a shower and i know what effort it takes just stepping into the bath never mind sitting down and then trying to get back up. Lets hope it will get easier for you. Im feeling good, it is 1 week today since my op and cannot believe how well im doing,

    Take care

    The oestrogel you use do you get it on the nhs only the doctor I'm speaking to is trying to push patches or tablets he says that the nhs won't allow this gel but I'm trying to push but need to know whether you get it on nhs

      Brilliant Lyn

      it is purely down to cost 

      I think I will have a fight on my hands getting my doctor to prescribe but I am going to stand my ground

      That's what the doctor who rang me said it was cost but I didn't give in so just tell your doctor you know someone else who got it on the nhs I'll let you know how I get on with it
