5 minute read time.

Kept a wee kind of blog my op and the last two weeks , may help some others Fingers crossed

Tuesday 27th

Dreading tomorrow , hopefully get it done , get the all clear and get back some normality. Fingers crossed Went to Costco and got some stuff but mind already on tomorrow . Early start. 

Wednesday 28th

Up early and at hospital by about 6:40. Only in about 30 mins and an enema given , no dignity left soon. Time passed quick and before you know it , I’m up at the theatre . Don’t remember much but woke around 4 pm feeling like I had been hammered . Rest of the day a total blur tbh.

Thursday 29th

Got to try and get up and moving today . Managed to get semi dressed and wander to coffee machine and Louise was down , she has been down all the time and stayed late , will be knackered ! Not going home today , best stay another night . Never realised this op would be quite as draining or severe !

Friday 30th.

Louise came down about 1030 and I had been up early and packed , desperate  to get home . Going to take time and I’m not patient . Louise has changed one of the wee bedrooms into an office , it’s smashing . Boys came to house to see me and was shattered by teatime . Sleep in chair as have this bag attached .

Saturday 31st

Louise putting the coupons on today Fingers crossedFingers crossedWorked , we some £108. Getting bored and want to get out but confidence . Worry about this bag , meant to come off Wednesday , please….. 

Sunday 1st

A quiet day , watched Rangers, couldn’t  improve my mood . Now on countdown to Wednesday and bag off hopefully .

Monday 2nd .

The wee office is grand , managed to sit and do an hour or so . it passed the time well. A wee walk round the block today, was knackered but didn’t say .   

Tuesday 3rd.

Managed to walk to Tesco Edinburgh Rd and bought … a paper Face palm Tomorrow fingers crossed the bag is off . Hopefully get back to some normality soon . 

Wednesday 4th.

Early start to head through to Edinburgh . Scan and bag can come off , great ! Bad news is I can’t control my bladder , sitting down or standing up I just have no control. Feel terrible as this feels like I’m setback again . Will I ever be any better ???

Thursday 5th

Slept in chair again as don’t want to ruin our bed . Louise will think it’s her but it’s me and I’m worrying now if things will ever be the same . Feel miles away from it . Mental health at an all time low . Just feel like shit .

Friday 6th

Watching the curling and trying to do a wee bit work to take my mind off things . In the morning I feel positive today , as day goes on , my mood drops. Try wee walk round the block , good to get out . Was going to go to bed but just can’t settle and up to go downstairs at 230 am. Trying to sort my head out .

Saturday 7th

Didn’t wake until 730 am and feel positive , try and keep this mood today. Coupons on , small win and loads of sport on tv so a quicker day. Dribbles have improved today , if I can improve by 1% a day maybe ?? Tea time I’m feeling decent and want better mood to continue . Round the block twice today, near 3000 steps . I’ve got to be determined and man up a bit .

Sunday 8th

Slept in  bed last night , up at 545 but was decent . Mixed day, had 2 decent walks as this may help my control. But from afternoon on the pads were soaking , god knows why Shrug Can’t sleep now tonight for worrying , thought I was on the mend but obviously not.Rage Keep calm and hopefully just a blip.Fingers crossed I really hope this is just a blip , couldn’t cope with months of this , was looking to improve by time I am back at Spire . 

Monday 9th

Watched telly quite late and was restless , got up about 730 and did some work for an hour , good start to day.Hoping to do 5000 steps a day now to build up and did nearly 3000 this morning . Productive morning but nightmare trying to get Adam from Drumhar , easier walking to the moon . Of course they called back when I was in the toilet so dribbled all the way up the hall Rage. Only to say they couldn’t help !

Tuesday 10th

Up early again and fell asker in the chair so missed Doctor at 8am. Called at 08:10 and hopefully sorted for a call back Fingers crossed Doc called back and erectile dysfunction script to be sent today . Did over 3000 on morning walk , a bit work and breakfast . Started fancy tea that’s meant to help lose weight , we will see. Maybe town today??? Did manage a brief visit to office, bookie and a coffee , it’s a start . 

Wednesday 11th

Up at back of 5 again ! Pad very little as I had leaked out side when turning over Rage. Feel yesterday’s was best day but then you get dragged right back down . Walking must be helping , two days on trot over 5000. Will be aiming for at least that today and see how we go. Been told I’m on the list for the continence clinic , appointment in 10 weeks , don’t bother . Absolute joke
