Thank you Pippa xxx

Sending lots of positive vibes for you tomorrow. I was also first on the list, by the time you know it, your back in the ward & relieved it’s all over. 3rd time definitely lucky for you. Lots of love Emm xx

Thank you Em xxx what time can you remember being with it after the Op? Xxxx

I was second on the list and went down for my surgery at about 11am. I was back on the ward at about 5pm xx 

Thanks Pippa, that gives me a rough time frame . Hope that you are doing ok after your op love Em xxxx

Mine was last December, which although it seems a long time ago, also feels like only yesterday.  I can clearly remember how I felt on the day before, so am really thinking of you.  The waiting is the worst bit and as you say, this time tomorrow it’ll all be done and you’ll be on the road to recovery.  You can do this!

I was so surprised! I thought I’d be out of it all afternoon, I walked to theatre, around 9am, and it took a little longer as I had a spinal block anaesthetic to protect my spine as I have many issues with burst discs and compressed nerve to my leg, plus the general anaesthetic. The next thing I remember was around 1pm when I was back on the ward. I felt completely fine, to be honest I thought they hadn’t done it! I only needed paracetamol for what I would call slight discomfort. I ate fine and could drink straightaway. I literally drank peppermint tea as though it was going out of fashion! I was paranoid about reading of the ‘trapped wind’, and it wasn’t that bad. I came home 12.30 the next lunchtime, and it’s been fine. Just need to remember to take it easy, as from the outside there’s not much to see, but inside is a different story and needs to heal, but I haven’t had pain. Modern techniques are amazing, I remember my Mum having a hysterectomy back in the day & she was in hospital 2 weeks, and wasn’t allowed out of bed for 3 days! - how things have changed so much for the better. You will be absolutely fine craftqueen, I will be thinking of you, sending lots of love, Emm xx

Thank you Pippa and thank you for your kind words and so pleased you are doing well love Em xxx

Thank you Em, that’s made me feel so much better and I’ve got mint humbugs for afterwards as paranoid about the trapped wind

Thanks again love Em xxx
