2ND CRANIVERSARY
Yes folks, this time two years ago I was two hours into a four & half hour surgery. I'd imagine by this time my forehead was on my chin and the top of my skull was in a metal tray somewhere. Mr B and his glamourous (and gorgeous) young spanish assistant - swoon! - were being sterotactically guided through my beautiful brain, carefully deweeding me of Buttercup.
I was wearing some sexy compression stockings and a long flowery hospital gown that draped on the floor cos I am a shortarse!
Today I got woken just before 8am with a nice cuppa tea from my lovely husband, who also cooked me a bacon & egg muffin before him and the boys deserted Lara and myself to go and take a 1st Kyu Karate Grading at their club.
Have to say it was a much better start to my day this year! A lot has happened in two years, but I am here, still kicking it and annoying the hell out of most people. I have my next MRI on February 7th and yes the nerves have kicked in and scanxiety rules in my house (plus Mother Nature is lurking to shake my hormones up further), so everyone needs to move slowly through my house, preferably in groups (there's safety in numbers apparently) and walk on eggshells around me.
I don't ask much of my family do I LOL
Don't worry folks I am not going to share the photo of me after surgery again this year, once is more than enough I think!
Onwards & Upwards as our very wise IndieChick used to say.
my eyes & the beginnings of a fringe!, shame my glasses leave such a dent in my nose lol
