Hi all

just wanted to let you all know I have finally got my admission date - 4th June😀

thank you all for your words of encouragement. Feeling scared and relieved at the same time and strangely tearful 😳

    Good luck Rosie.

    Don't be worried, this operation is done very regularly by surgeons all over the World. They will only be performing it if necessary and you will be pain free shortly afterwards. Just keep up the recommended exercises and keep us all informed.

    Best wishes, Mark

    Mixed feelings huh?  it is normal Rosie - no matter what anybody tells you, you just have to go through this all by your self ( still makes me tear up!) 

    I am sure that when this is behind you, you will tell others how great it was - how smooth surgery went, and that pain is gone !!!!!  

    Hang in there and yes, do come back here - This is such a wonderful group ...

    Big hug

    Hi, Don't worry, when you get there the Nurses take over and are excellent.  They will look after you and see that you are all right.  Afterwards you will wonder what you were worried about and being pain free is wonderful.  Of course you will be tender but nothing like before.  You may feel tearful at times afterwards, but just go with it, do as you are told and everything will be okay.  Some people take longer to recover afterwards than others, but just go at your own pace and you will be fine.  Good luck.
