Waiting kills

Hi,The waiting is frustrating.You will need patience for the recovery though as it can drag on.Best wishes for your surgery.Jane 

I sympathise with you although I had no such wait. I was rang on the Thursday and had rc on the following Wednesday 

Best wishes

Wow Mark,That was quick,I was on the urgent list but still had to wait over 3 weeks.The anaesthetist said the planning was a logistical nightmare.Jane 

Hi Jane

I think it was to do with me being pulled off the chemo because of the clots.  I still had my third session to do but it was deemed to risky. In saying that I still didn't expect it so quickly 

Best wishes

Ranting is fine! If you are fit enough, now is the time to do those jobs you won't be able to do for a while after the op. I did quite a lot of gardening in the run up to my RC. Also cooked a few mini snacks to put in the freezer (like cheese scones), prepared instructions for Mr T, got a few books in ready and so on. Hope you find something to fill in the time!

I was about to suggest the same thing.I kept busy with jobs that I knew I would be unable to do post op.Cleaning the drains was one as well as gardening although I wasn’t well enough to do anything too heavy.It all helped to take my mind off the surgery and the time went quickly.Jane
