  • Hello BigJean

    It’s good to hear from you - thank you for replying. It’s so good to know we’re not on our own on this journey, although I wish none of us were on it in the first place. I really hope you get your drain out today or tomorrow and that you can catch up on some sleep. You sound very positive though and I know that will really help, both physically and mentally in our recoveries. I’m trying to get there and today has been fractionally easier than yesterday. 

    Sending you too my best wishes

  • Hi

    Thank you. All went well and I'm back at home to rest and recover I feel knackered if I'm honest. Pray to the wound goddess that the graft takes. 
     

    Hope you are good as well. X

  • Hello again everyone

    I just wanted to let you know that although I haven’t been on here for a while you are all in my thoughts and prayers every day. I’m just finding the emotional side of this very difficult, as I know you all are too.

    Rosie80, I’m sorry you find yourself on here, but I’m sure you’re finding the support of these lovely ladies invaluable. 

    With ongoing love & very best wishes to you all

  • Hi Helen

    Thank you very much for your kind words.  It is truly awful to have to be on this site but as you righty say, the support of the ladies here is proving totally invaluable and a great source of comfort.

    It's good to be able to through the posts in those dark hours of night when sleep is illusive and find answers to questions I didn't know I had.

    I will be honest, this is a hard time of life but I'm doing my utmost to keep positive.

    Sending you some really positive vibes and a virtual hug to try and help you at the moment.

    Rosie

    Just checking in to see how you are? It can be tough sometimes with everything that's going on, it feels like you go from one appointment to the next with no time to think about the enormity of what's going on.

    anyway - always here if you need a chat.

    WL
