Nice update!

Posted , 4 users are following.

I would like to thank all of you that have responded to any of my posts your feedback is instrumental to recovery. I was very anxious prior to op and this anxiety has carried on much to my surprise so much so after having a telephone conversation today my right arm was flipping and smacking uncontrollably! I have since sat down and thought about the past two weeks.

- Dealing with being off work 4 wks prior to op

- going in for op

- having the op

- only having paracetamol for first 12hrs after op!!

- coming home

- night sweats 4/5 episodes per night

- sleeping for England!!

i finally did my makeup and hair today gave myself a good talking to (in front of the mirror!) I felt happy for the first time in weeks, I felt all I have to do now is recover from the op! Fingers crossed this is it... This is me all my problems xx have gone I just need to heal!! And I smiled just that little bit harder and have had the most positive day yet!! ( apart from trapped wind and normal pains)!! You have helped me get here I know it's early, but thank you!!

    Hi Rsarahj

    It is an amazing journey we have all gone through is it not?  So glad you are feeling more positive, and I think once the makeup is back on then you are on your way up!  He! he! I put makeup on in the hospital when I was brought back from recovery, I hate to think how badly I probably applied it but it made me feel better.  

    Enjoy the rest of your recovery, hopefully with some lovely warm weather.

    Love
