Hi All!

I hope everyone managed to get at least a little bit of respite from the fear and anxiety this weekend.

Vicki - how was the beach hut? Hope that fresh air did the trick for you.

Take care of yourselves xx

I took the kids to the cinema on Saturday, and then had my sons 4th birthday party on Sunday. So I've managed to keep quite well distracted!! 
 

The breast clinic just called, and they've moved my results appointment to 9:40 on Thursday, instead of 11:40. So at least I don't have to worry all morning. It will be school run, then appointment!! Praying for benign results!! Xxx

How are you feeling now it's close again to your surgery? I must admit the thought of being laid up again isn't a thrilling prospect after starting to feel a bit more normal! Let's hope they get it all this time for both of us.

I had a mini emotional meltdown last weekend but I think that's because I was getting back on my feet and starting to do more and got sideswiped by Covid!!!

Hi GT63

Thanks for remembering. Yes, my SMX, implant surgery and node biopsy is on Wednesday. I am absolutely dreading it. You are so right - it's been so lovely being able to do things again; I feel I am going back to square one. Dreading the drain, dreading them finding cancerous cells in my nodes, dreading having some weird alien foob. I've been trying to keep busy by decorating my daughter's room but it's never far away. 

PCR tomorrow then weird dye injection on Tuesday. On the plus side I've lost 1/2 a stone as feel vaguely sick most of the time :laugh:

When is your surgery? Will it be affected by having Covid? Hope you are feeling ok?

Hi

That's wonderful news. So happy for you. Hope you're making a good recovery and enjoying this beautiful weather.

Hi

Glad your mastectomy went well and no drain is a huge bonus. You have given me some good vibes for mine this week. 

Are you managing to sleep ok and control any pain?

Rest up

xx

Hi Vicki

Hope you're doing ok. I feel like that doctor was sent to you with his beautiful analogy. You are one brave lady.

Sending love

Do let me know how you get on. Mine's on 4th April. I'll have PCR on Friday coming so hopefully will be clear - 

Good to keep busy where we can, I'm still not fully operational physically though after my last surgeries and the itching is driving me insane! Also get a sensation in my nipple like someone is trying to tweak it off every so often :cry xx

I've done so many lfts that my nose is really sore now! I will definitely let you know how I get on - I'm sure it won't be as bad as I think. The 4 week wait has felt like 4 years!

Sorry to hear you're not fully operational yet - hopefully you'll be better after the next one.

That doctor sounds amazing!

All the best for the op, nearly there now and I totally get how awful the waiting is.  Mines been fine and they put in a lot of local yesterday after the op and surprisingly I've not needed anything today.  She did a good job on me it seems!!  Drink plenty of water the day and night before the op.  Staying hydrated is really important so they can find veins and helps prevent blood clots.  I was out of bed as soon as I got back to the ward, they want you up moving around really quickly.  I was first on the surgery list so was home by 3.30. 
It's all been fine so far.  Hope your surgery goes well.   I'm sure you will sail through it X

Thanks Bubblesmum :)
