Well as our NHS have odd workings a lady went in before me and she was having major surgery, probably with full recon, so they told me I would be going down around early afternoon, there was no beds either so I had to wait in the day room on the ward, well 7 hours later after them drawing on me and getting me in the hospital gown , I eventually went to theatre at 3.15 by that time I was starting to get a headache due to no drink and food I think,
I felt really calm and totally focused on what was going on, I was really surprised at my self on how calm I was and how accepting I have been with this whole thing, I must give some of that credit to friends and family who just chat to me and listen to me going on and to Fraser and the hypnotherapy it has done me wonders and I recommend everyone to try it with an open mind.
I am now banned from driving for at least 4 weeks boo and im going to be crawling the walls by the end of that time .
i have a new best friend for the next 4 days , my drain , it's a bit icky lol and the only bit that hurts is where it's incerted in to my chest the rest on my scar does not really hurt its very numb and flat
, it's quite dramatic with me having a rather large chest and I really hope that the fake boob they give me in 6 weeks will let me be balanced up till I can have my recon , but I suppose with all you guys knowing if you do see me walking a little strange and leaning over to my right side you will know its not quite right and I am not doing an impression of quasi modo ( the bells) lol
I spent one night on the ward , they had put inflatable compression on my legs to avoid blood clots but between them inflating and deflating and the other women on the ward snoring and the nurses coming to check my obs and going to the loo as they were giving me loads of liquids I did not get much sleep , the nurses on the ward and all the other staff were fab its a really busy ward but I never felt like I was not looked after , I saw my breast care nurse at 3 on the first day she had come up to discharge me but due to me not even going down , I tried to run off but she stopped me hahahah, I have seen a physo lady who has shown me excersise I need to do to keep movement in my arm , which I have far more of than I expected, I did not think I would be able to get dressed with out help but I'm good. And I have a load of different appointments to go to over the next few weeks. One of them is to find out the results from the lump and to see if I will need 3/4 weeks of radiotherapy and if they are going to give me a prevention hormone drug for the next 5 years .
When I got home the day after ,I came home to this, the card was made by Olivia's class as she has been struggling with the operation she has had loads of support from her class and inside the card is photos of the whole class including the teacher pulling funny faces, the flowers and the chocs are from mike and Olivia,
I also got a delivery from moon pig when I got in from Talia's family ( Olivia's friend from school , Leona and Stuart ) I have to give a massive thankyou to you as you really do not realise how much help you have given me by taking Olivia to school and picking her up if needed, and the card and chocolates are really appreciated and yummy
so for now I am chilling on the settee where I will be spending quite a bit of time , with mike fussing around me like a nurse maid ( buggered him off to golf today lol) and watching crap on the tv and making sock monkeys , and boredom blogging but after the school holiday I may be calling out for adult contact and company so will have to put out visiting hours lol ,
