So tired after 1st Turbt

Hi Jane,

Well it’s great that it went ok for you. You are bound to feel tired at at this stage. The anticipation of the procedure. The anaesthetic, the painkillers and antibiotics etc. The trauma of the surgery, pain and discomfort . The catheter etc.

it will take a week or two for you to feel a bit more like yourself, the recovery is quite quick. And I am sure you will feel better when your catheter is removed. Go easy on yourself and pace yourself - cut yourself some slack.

It’s definitely time to catch up on those box-sets, and of course drink plenty of water to flush things through  the system.

all the best Leo

Thank you

Patience does not come easily to me, too much time to let my thoughts become scarier. I didn't feel that bad immediately after the op but guess I was still full of happy pain meds and pleased to be going home.

I too am impatient, however I have learned to take one step at a.time, so I do not drive myself crazy. It works. Do not consult Dr Google either - only information from trusted sources. And remember this cancer is treatable

If you have any questions post them here and get sensible, informed advice.

So wise Leo x

Hi Jane.I agree with what Leo has written.I’m sure you will be feeling perkier very soon.Love Jane x

Thank you, when I do I will be sure to report back to encourage others in the same situation x

Hi Jane, glad you’re doing ok 3 days on,…but it’s only 3 days on. Think how you were worrying beforehand and since any signs showed, so lack of sleep, troubled mind blah blah. Now you can’t get comfortable, now you start wondering when you’ll get results and what they’ll be, and what’s next.!?
as Leo1 says, and I had to learn quickly too, one step, one day, and we all do that. Lack of energy is normal and expected don’t rush yourself. 
you’ve done better than me after my first… took me 4 days before I could do No2  I learnt for the 2nd one

keep watching your cricket, there’s no rush 

best wishes
