I meant to message the other day when you message something about your tolerance for drink being different now! I don’t want to be a party pooper and I totally understand that you are young and you just want to have fun with your friends BUT you really shouldn’t be drinking while you are on so many pain meds and strong pain meds at that! It’s no wonder you felt awful and were sick! Obviously it’s up to you what you do but be careful Hun, your liver will be under enough stress without you adding alcohol into the mix!
On a separate note I hope your appointment today goes as well as it can. Not sure if you are getting results of any sort or if it’s just a general appointment. But happy to send a very excited LP along with you........
Hes VERY excited about Christmas, so you will need to keep a close eye on him! Any pretend presents under Christmas tree’s and he’ll unwrap them....sorry in advance

LondonLass not sure how many sleeps to Christmas!
About to get my arse out of bed , shower ,cup of tea before everyone else gets up!
Just food and church planned for today. My two great nephews are in the nativity and will be their usual cute selfs, For only the second time in her 24 year life my daughter will not be at mass with me. She missed a couple of years ago when she was in Hong Kong for Xmas and this year she’s going with her future Mother in law to her church. This means I’ll drag my hubby with me so I’m not alone !
Hi
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble sleeping, and I hope that you managed to get some rest last night. I have been thinking of you and hoping that all went well with your surgery last week. The drain must be a pain, and I hope that you will be able to have it removed soon. Obviously I haven’t had my op yet (it will be on 2 Jan) and so can’t speak from experience, but my BCN suggested buying one of the V-shaped pillow to help with sleeping after the op.
Take care, and I hope that you and your family have a good Christmas.

Blackcat20 hello there, I must admit I was really worried about the op but it has been ok, I worried far more than I should have. The drain is an inconvenience more than anything. I got a v pillow in fact my bed is so comfy with plush pillows - but I hate sleeping on my back I get neck ache - no matter which supporting pillows I use. I actually sleep on my right side normally but that’s my Mx side so that will not be an option for a while. I’m ok once I fall asleep, but once I wake it takes ages to drift off again lol! First world problems huh xxx
Happy Christmas eve everyone =)
Well LondonLass I imown you sre just concerned and to be honest thinking about it you don't realise how much alcohol is in cocktails for example. Tbh if I drank as much as did before diagnosis I think I would end up in a&s so I'm going to stick to one cider or two mathe low alcohol stuff called sheppey from tesco I recommend it anyone who likes cider it actually taste cider though virtually no alcohol in it. Plus think mum has some non prosecco which tastes nicer thanks stuff can you tell menandnmy fsmiky been looking for options hahaha..
Anyway lister cat seems bit better he are drank this morning though was eating an drinking last night plus apparently mun said he was less walking into things and made his way to my bedroom =) so mum picked him up and put him in my bed.
Well last night was full of worry and anxiety. Worry for lister worry for mum's appointment with surgeon see how she is post operation and mine later on. So ineventuwky ot to sleep half for inhad taken my dose if 500Mcg lof lorazpam which have in urgencies if anxiety and everything gets to much needless to say though happy tense lister this morning I wanted few hours more but cleaners coming so I've had meds mid eating breakfast got my cuppa backs playing hell so got oral morphine tske in bi.
My appointment 8s at 14:15 and irs with medical oncologist going tone if there anything can be done to certain part of the back is agony like radiotherapy for exa mole
