    Hi no one could have been as nervous as me but every 1 on this site was so supportive. I could not believe how quick it has gone I had a spinal block & the first night was a little sore but nothing 2 what I thought it was going 2 b. The only thing I can say is u have 2 rest it is along healing process but u must not do any thing. But it's worth it in the long run if u need any advice just ask no matter how silly u may think it is I'm now 8wks post op & getting there 😄 Good luck 4 2 day u won't need it 😄

      Well I hope the support socks fit better than mine did!  Each time (I had a general anaesthetic for the colcoscopy so needed them for that too) they just kept rolling down into a ridge mid calf!

    morning ladies

    well its 5am and awake after being awoken for the umpteenth time lol every 2 hours to be exact!!! so much for rest!

    i am OK! in pain of course and this awful pressue in my bum area is not comfortable, but thankfully its manageable, if i stay still the pain eases off.

    but the hero of the whole surgery has to me the lovely anesthetiologist, told him i struggle with sickness and nausea after anesthetic regarless of anti sickness meds, so he said he was gonna try something different with me to see if it helped! and it so did! no nausea or sick i could eat when i came out it was bliss! i was stressing about heeving with these stitched!

    i do have the funky leg boots that inflate randomly for circulation, so thats distraction and appeny i had the start of uti at pre op so they started me on antibiotics yesterday

    cant wait for pack out 😁😁😁

    cant wait for breakfast either haha its a fulll cooked breakfast lollll

    chat later ladies 😘

      Morning:-))))  If you're in pain, tell them.  You shouldn't need to be in pain at all.  That's great about the lack of sickness:-)))  Ah - here they only put the inflating boots on while they do the op and then when you wake up you've got the white stockings on.  Have a lovely breakfast, enjoy being waited on, and have a lovely day today:-))))  Ask for something for the pain if you've still got it:-))))

      You sound wonderfully chirpy:-)))  I was like that too:-))))  Sorry to hear about the arm though!  I'm glad they're keeping an eye on it:-)))  Yes, get some of those rubbishy magazines too - anything that doesn't require much concentration:-))))  If you're anything like I was you're being beseiged by texts etc. of people asking how you are LOL!  It was all very nice, but my husband was asking every five minutes when could he come and take me home LOL!  Then I had to explain that he couldn't keep phoning because I was waiting for something or other to be done - catheter out, and physio to come, and pharmacist to come - they don't realise what a busy life it is in there LOL!
