I’ve got cold water a straw a concoction of other stuff to mix it with. I can’t drink it. I’ve rung the hospital and they said drink as much as I can and speak to the surgeon in the morning. I know if I don’t drink it they won’t operate. I’m in such a mess.
Update. I’m booked in and they said it’s ok. Massive relief. Bloody looking forward to surgery!!!
Been thinking of you today sweetheart.
Hope everything went well
All went really well. Cancer is in the bin! My main ailment is I’m too hot now. I think it’s because I can’t get to my HRT gel Drinking water and the drinks (amazing flavours).
super lucky too no stoma although I was 199% prepared for one and even seeing the positive in having one
yesterday was awful but today is an amazing day

Wonderful news - I was thinking about you all yesterday ! Be prepared that you might feel a little worse later today as the GA wears off, but that cancer is gone and hopefully that will be it!
So I’m 7 days post op and feeling great. Obviously my bowel is not yet working properly so I invested in some nappies that I really don’t need but they make me feel better. I’ve not been out yet but I’m happily pottering around the house. Also I was expecting to need monster naps but tsp far I’ve not needed them. I’m looking forward to when my body decides it can finally relax. ️
Great to hear. Don’t overdo it! I nearly broke myself doing a little bit of hoovering because I couldn’t help myself! Take it really slowly. I loved just pottering around and regaining my strength. I was driving after 4 weeks because I live in the middle of nowhere, but I would say do everything at your own pace when you feel like it
I’ve no intention of doing any hovering for the full 6 weeks. Thankfully my partner has taken on all of the housework childcare snd dog walking. He’s amazing. Xx
