So, its 2 weeks today until i have my op... im becoming increasingly fed up waiting about. Wok is quiet as i have no case laod (im social work) so i come in a basically do some online shopping all day, sit on facebook, twitter, email, facebook, twitter, email, i sometimes mix it up with a bit of instagram.... But all in all, im bored.
Ive moved house, again, twice in 2 months, too much stress for me!! But now i am settled and have somewhere to relax in ( my last place i was renting and it was up for sale and its got sold, so had to move out) after the op.
I had my hair done this week, my cousin is my hair dresser. We decided to go a bit darker, i like it. Im hoping i wont be "out of action" for that long and i can still get my hair done at some point. I was thinking the other day that i probs wont manage to wash my hair for at least 2-3 weeks myself after the op??? All the wee things ive taken for granted the past 30 years of my life... washing my hair, putting make up on, gettign dressed, driving, eating etc, it'll all change for a few weeks/months.
One thing thats still playing on my mind is when will i feel fit to socialise again?? Im very active and i like to socialise quite a lot. So this is hard for me. Even though i know that for the first 3-4 weeks im going to be in a lot of pain and discomfort, I am sad that i will miss social things. I suppose i wont feel up to it though...
I meet with the "nipple" guy on tuesday 20th to have my nipples moulded for my sticky on nipples.. not really sure how i feel about that, i thought it would just be random sticky on nipples that i got given? and these take about 6 weeks to make....
