      I hear you Lyn... mine has been good also, it's been tough on my side too... I actually opened up 2 areas on the incision (22 staples).. I came home 2nd day and was cleaning, cooking... I was bad sad  But no one stopped me..

      I have an appt. coming up too... I am going to ask her..

      I was in hospital 5 days & they would have kept me in longer but I asked to go home , I had lost a lot of blood & they did not know how , which was a little worrying , I had no energy just walking to toilet & back was exhausting but I had lots of help at home so got plenty of rest , I still wish I had never had it done but they tell me in a year's time I will be a different women , it's nice the bleeding has stopped & no more biopsy or smears to go though , I'm trying to get fit but I have to get the all clear from hospital . Fingers crossed for tomorrow .x

      Hi Lyn, sorry you have had such a rotten time of it.  You need lots of healthy food, fruit and veg to build up your iron levels and then spoil yourself silly.  Good luck for tomorrow. Warmest Wishes Jacqui

      WOW LYN... ALL THE BEST!

      I TOO HAD A FRIEND THAT HAD SEVERE BLEEDING DURING PROCEDURE.. SHE RECEIVED BLOOD.  SHE WAS SOOOOOO WORRIED AFTER THEY TOLD HER.

      SHE ALSO HAD AN IRON PROBLEM AFTER... VERY WEAK... SHE IS A TINY OF A THING TOO.

      BUT SHE WENT BACK TO WORK .. 1/2 DAYS FOR A FEW WEEKS.

      GOOD LUCK TO YOU!  REST... REST... REST... OH... AND REST smile
