Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for all the good wishes. You don't know how much it means to me. I have just had my first shower, washing with the surgical scrub, and I get to do it again in the morning. I am just about to have my last food until after surgery. I had a phone call to say they want me in half hour earlier, so I will be pushed for time after dropping the kids off at school. We will only just have enough time to get me there, so I guess once morning is here time will then fly!! I still can't believe it's only one night in hospital. I am grateful though, as I never sleep well in hospitals. I just worry about pain control a bit. With the weekend coming up, I hope I have enough prescriptions to last me through the weekend, as my GP doesn't consult on weekends. I do have a stash of pain meds, which I hope will be suitable.
Today has been a good day in that I have rushed all day. I worked last night and then slept until lunch, then a friend came over so I could help her sew, then my daughter had an orthodontic appointment (the poor dentist had to have the patience of a saint to deal with my daughter!!), the neighbours came for a play, my son baked cupcakes for his birthday celebration at school, and I did a bit of sewing (my last for a while
) then I had to console my daughter because her mouth hurt. I also did some washing and a bit of tidying, and sorted out what I need to take to hospital (not much really). Now it's all caught up with me and I am ready to crash. I don't think I'll have a sleepless night tonight!!
I will try to post as soon as I get home on Thursday, but forgive me if I don't, or if I do and it's garbled
I just have to decide whether to keep posting here, or start a post-op diary. Probably a post-op diary, so those who are looking for one to help them can actually find it. Probably a good time for a fresh start anyway.
I hope to be chatting with you all again soon!! Thanks so much for taking the trouble to remember when my surgery was, and for thinking of me and wishing me well. You are all a great bunch of people and I'd love to give you all a big hug in person, but a cyber one will have to do (((((((HUGS))))))))
Lots of love to you all
Kathy
PS. See you on the other side......

See you on the other side kathy!!!!
It will all be fine - no need to worry, you take your time and log on whenever you feel able, the anasthetic can make you groggy and werid for a day or so, just rest rest rest and drugs drugs drugs for any pain.
Will be thinking about you - LOTS of good vibes going your way!!

wondering with the time difference if you are through surgery now or in it.
Either way you are in my thoughts and I'm wishing you well
