Hi folks I seem to have lost 2 days whilst in hospital.
Things went a bit awry before coming in for my masectomy with the surgeon and the oncologist not clear what was happening and emails going back and forth so of course I was left in limbo. At one stage I it got really heated.
Whether rightly or wrongly I ended up with masectomy and node clearance. Oncologist had said node clearance was not needed as the cancer is already so widely spread but surgeon said oncologist was cherry picking.
Unfortunately even though I did as I was told and not only gave verbal information but also wrote down the things I am allergic or hypersensitive to I was still given Morphine and Fentinol, hence the 2 day delay in being with it. I have been in and out of consciousness and seen so many wild and wonderful creatures accompanied by sickness, high temps and rashes. The good news is I don't think I was in any pain. Looks like I will get home tomorrow so long as I can come off fluid drip today.
Got some recovering to do before I can get back on any meds and I am aware this was to alieviate symptoms and hopefully slow down growth it will not be a cure but you take what you can where you can.
I have had a quick catch up on posts today and TV man your home sounds amazing. I loved hearing about the trees and how your daughter still checks it out when she comes home.
Glad Scotland was good Danioli
My daughter and family are in Scarborough this week it is not the best weather but they have sent me a photo today of them on the open top bus.
Hope others are comfortable and as pain free as possible today.
Hi Maz
Wow, you have had a bit of a tough time, hope you have a speedy recovery from the mastectomy, physical and mental. Happy to hear that you don't think you were in pain.
Thanks for the compliments about the house and garden 
. I am making a strong effort to make my surroundings bright and enjoyable because I don't get about much. I have another tree, a variegated Maple down the side of the road that is my daughter's also. When she was young, I had shouted at her about something and then you know when you think afterwards, did I really have to do that? So I was at the garden centre and bought some items, one of which was the tree and it looked lovely. I asked her to help me plant it, which she did, and then I said I was going to look after it for her for ever. What a smile she had. She sees it every time she comes home which makes me feel warm.
You have a very philosophical view about the results of your operation and I hope you're back on your feet in no time.
