This is a message to all really, but there was someone whose name I can't remember at the moment, who was due to have their operation this Friday. I'd just like to reassure her, having had my similar operation on Monday, that it isn't that bad.
It's certainly not a walk in the park, and I've had to try really hard to think how to do things differently just to totter about - eg walk to the the loo at home, work out how to sleep (?) comfortably. I unfortunately fainted at home yesterday, which is not normal for me, but today I had an MOT to check my drains, as I could not stop myself falling forwards whilst sitting quietly on my bed. That wasn't meant to happen and I was told today we should have called 999 instead of me trying to recover on the hard floor. I was checked out this morning and I was in excellent condition. The NHS staff have been absolutely marvellous to me. I haven't had an operation since tonsils removed at the age of 4, so a whole new world to me, and although appearing to be calm, I was very very worried and have a far too wild imagination for my own good.
So my advice is to do everything they tell you to do and really take notice when they say don't do too much. I feel very wiped out, but I'm actually doing very well, considering this is such major surgery. Best of luck.
Hi venicelagoon I have done a little search, and have seen a past conversation you had with Neevy35 I have tagged her so hopefully she will see your post.
I am glad your are recovering from your op, but sorry to hear you passed out. Take time to rest and recover now. Wishing you all the best.
Hi Neevy35
Glad to hear that your operation is done and dusted.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
