Hey Billy, i'm ok thanks. Just feeling a bit off today, very tired and been sleeping on and off but i should be back to normal soon, whatever that is :grin:

Ooh don't go normal you'll scare everyone you've got right idea take it easy you need all the beauty sleep you can get,  Billy 

LOL, how do you know ? Have you seen a photo of me already ?

I would need to sleep for 100 years or more to make me beautiful, no amount of sleep will ever achieve that. :p

If your not beautiful I'm definitely getting my glasses changed, 

Maybe an eye transplant Billy or maybe not because if you think i'm beautiful with your current eyes then who am i to object, ha ha !

I meant to say. I got a letter from the hospital today ........... it wasn't for me it was for my GP but the silly secretary folded it in such a way that it was my details that were showing in the envelope window instead of my Doctors. Thank The Lord it wasn't more bad news that i didn't know about or i would have been devastated. Just shows how easy mistakes can be made. x

No, i have never had a copy of anything. I don't even know what my hospital consultants name is or even the doctor i saw the other day  because every time i go to the hospital they take my appointmet letter off me. I asked for it back last time and they said they had to keep it. Maybe it's different up here but i would prefer it to be the way yous have it. x

If you ask specialist he/she should get a copy to you, what's wrong what's changed, blood results everything, it's nearly what they're thinking,,,oh if you're awake now good morning darling I've changed my glasses you look good to me, love.

Billy

P.s I'm leaving my eyes as they are 

Hi guys, i just thought i would update you on my progress but couldn't decide which thread to update so i chose this one.

I went in and i  had my surgery on the 2nd, which had a few setbacks right from the start. The main one being i stopped breathing during the surgery (bronchial spasm) but thankfully they managed to get me going again and once i had stabilised they continued with the surgery albeit they had to switch the method of surgery. The enormity of that fact really just hit me yesterday and i realised that it could have been a very different outcome and i actually cried a wee bit last night.

Everything seemd to be going well with my recovery or so i thought apart from a horrific pain in my back which was due to surgical emphysema, i don't think that that is actually dangerous or serious but it still bliddy hurt when breathing and as we all know, breathing is actually fundamental to the human body and i didn't have the option to not breathe, lol. I must be the most oblivious person in the world to feeling pain because i was trotting about with a collapsed lung and a chest infection but luckily the staff at the hospital are constantly keeping a check on you so a course of  IV antibiotics and a new chest drain on the go, I'm convinced the Doctor who did that was actually the :devil: because he hurt me bad !!!  So fast forward to the 13th, i was discharged ... a wee bit longer than most people but i am home now and hopefully recovering. I'm still rather sore but i'm trying to get by on paracetomol because i couldn't take the stronger pain relief as i had a reaction to almost every one they tried me on anyway i got my stitches out today, everything looks good apart from one wound slightly infected but the district nurses will be back to keep a check on it.

I met the surgeon the evening before surgery and he suggested just going in for the kill (not me :p but the Cancer) skip the frozen section/biopsy as that presents a risk of cells escaping and just cut the whole bliddy lot out regardless of what the tumour actually is so i went with his suggestion and i will hopefully know soon what happens next if anything depending on the pathology results. 

Anyway, i have a few friends here (you know who you are)  so this reply is really for you .... i just wanted to let you know how i was. I will hopefully come back in a few days time, in between my sleeps which seem to be a big part of my life at the moment and join in the forum again and see what's been happening with you all. I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be right now and just because i am not visible here, doesn't mean i don't think about you.

Take care me lovelies and Hugs to all.
