Well I'm now in hospital. Op to be tomorrow morning.
I ve had MRSA ,COVID and SARS swabs as well as U&E blood test this afternoon and all are fine.
Its been a bit of a mad rush and quite stressful but hopefully I'm on the home run.

brilliant news Dale.
hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow (which it will).
do they try and get you out quicker than normal after the operation?
keep us updated. and good luck

spoke too soon, my last minute U &E test showed very low sodium levels so they won't operate. Home now and very annoyed.
On the positive side I definitely don't have Covid 19.
Not sure what to do now.
PS Was told I'd get home the day after op ( if I'd had it, of course )

I tried that but it didn't work. I think it's a bit more serious.

I don't know. Will speak to GP tomorrow.
I kind of discharged myself as I was so angry that they didn't check my bloods earlier

Hi Dale
You must be gutted they did something similar to me back in March...
. I did get my op on 7th August at first all went well until I came down with a chest infection so I was isolated on oxygen, intravenous anti biotics etc I am back home now feeling exhausted and doing a lot of sleeping. The staff were brilliant really well looked after. Now it is a question of time and patience!!
Do hope you get some positive news soon

its difficult to advise as everyone's recovery is different. But are you getting enough sleep 💤
if struggling at night sleep during the day.and ensure your eating and drinking plenty.
I never had a problem with lack of energy, but drank lots of ribena and cranberry juice, and was up walking ever hour if only to do a couple of laps round coffee table.

Hi Vickie, hopefully you will get some good news, there's nothing worse than no communication, it's my biggest gripe . You feel terrible nagging but sometimes it's the only way to get some kind of traction. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow
