The operation

Hi all,

Big day for today, hope it’s gone well and LJ got his comuppance!! Let us know how you are when you’re feeling up to it. Sending gentle hugs and healing thoughts your way.

Hope your cold’s on its way out JammyR. Mine’s still in the background after 4 bleeping weeks!!!!

Well, I’m rejoining the workforce tomorrow  Am a bit apprehensive but also, wierdly, a little bit excited!! 

Off to bed now ready for my 05.30 alarm!!!

yes I have been thinking about our today and hoping everything went smoothly and ticked up in bed recovering now.

Good luck at work... I was excited too when first went back.....novelty has worn off lol but it does feel good doing what we normally do if you know what I mean. The early mornings aren't fun... I seem to need a bit longer to get myself going these days, maybe it's old age ha ha. Let us know how you get on.

Leolady56 glad you are well and happy my dear. Much festive galloping planned?

We ladies and our friends on other threads must think about another meet up next year.

Better to get to bed, feeling lousy still and working extra day this week. Loathed to ring in sick when not long back and also would only get half pay.

Love to all, 

Joanne

got my date today - op is next Wed, lumpectomy and all the lymph nodes.  told i'd be in hospital for 2 nights tho  - i thot i'd get booted same day, anybody any idea why?  i did ask but she just said it was normal and it mite only be one night.

feeling a bit nervous but nowhere near as freaked out as last week, now if i can just avoid actually talking to the surgeon i should be fine

Nice to hear lots of normality stories back to work and yay clear 1st year mammograms Deb09.

christmas should definitely be better for a lot of us this year. hoping all went well yesterday and lennyjr did one, take care lovely.

Shiny I had ANC op similar time last year, now I don’t do well on anaesthetic so know I’d have to stay overnight but it was only the one night. Protocols ar different in different places but maybe they set the expectations and if they can get you out earlier that’ll be a bonus. Will be thinking of you next week, it’s the waiting that’s the worst bit

Leolady56 glad the galloping is back, have missed it. 

JammyR hope you get your mammogram results quickly like debs. Mine weren’t straight away but wer only 2 days later.

love all

Well.....I survived!!  Am well & truly pooped but it was so  good to back!! Had a lovely welcome (despite the CQC being on the ward), deleted 1700+ emails and even remembered how to do my job!!

Hope you’re as OK as can be . Thinking of you xx

Hi Ladies

hope all is well and LJ has been given the boot.

well it's my first yearly appointment tomorrow to see the surgeon. Still no mammogram results but did get told I would get results at this appointment.

Going to ask for appointment to see BCN to go through some things i have read on my notes. I had a problem being copied in to notes that were sent to my GP for the whole of my Treatment, my GP has copied all the letters for me and now there are lots of questions I need answered. 

Hope everyone is well, I have a stinking cold at the moment and have just realised this is the first one I have had for a whole year. 

I'm back and vaguely in the land of the living. 

Seems to have gone ok, went down just after 2pm and managed to escape by 8.30pm, i was last one left on my ward. Still feeling effects of the anaesthetic today so spent the day in bed with books, tv etc. Feel a litle less wobbly as the afternoon has gone on. So far will have to say slightly more uncomfortable than my mastectomy, but they did say they battered my pectorals around getting LJ out, but he has gone the same way of lenny, so hopefully no more of the blighters are hiding for another party.

Quiet evening for me on the cards, no parties just yet

JollyG - Glad everything went to plan and you can relax knowing you've kicked Lenny junior to the kerb! Keep resting up and you will be feeling fine in no time, gentle hugs Deb xx

All good news then. Keep on top of the pain meds. She said up due to the return of pericarditis and I only posted a day ago saying all well.  Slow build up this evening. Grrrrrr. 

Now cant sleep read all the threads . Mmmmm

Owww Leolady56 , I just thought I nip on a have a 'quick look' at the posts and then I see yours, I had to come on and reply...

I am sorry to read the pericarditis has returned, please will you do as your total - take time for you, (shouting to Mr. Leo... please can you look after our Leolady, definitely in need of some TLC).  You always take care of all of us, so please can you 'take things a little easier'.  

I so hate to think of you in pain, hoping you have something that will relieve any pain and you can settle off to sleep.

You always amaze me with how much you are on the go and get done, even now you have caught up with all the treads, I've been looking thought and am so far behind I'd be here till Christmas haha before I could catch up - just seen posts that I had completely missed too.  

I really hope you are fast asleep now, please take it easy and do whatever you have to to get on top of this "pericarditis" - do you know what is causing it, is there something triggering it.

Sending you love and great big hugs to you and to all the Fruit Loops xxxx
