Hi Sue

I just keep thinking "this is what I have to do when we go camping out in the wilds"!!



............. and make sure that I don't get too close to non-family :-)


I am cheery ............. this is something that something can be done about, and I will be "cured".

I don't have any more parts left to get breast cancer for a 3rd time :-D , more treatment will not be needed, and so I can get on with the rest of my life

Unlike the deteriorating spine that I have to live with and medicate.



In all honesty, I do not know any other way to be than to laugh and joke about it all!

Sylvia - maybe the surgeon is trigger happy :-D You sound so cheery - I'm sure that will go a long way towards your recovery. Shame about not being able to have a shower or bath - that would drive me mad. Still it's not forever.

Thank you



I can't even have a bath!


I'm relying on sponge baths, with OH doing the parts I can't reach for one reason or another.

Reporting in .................


Nurse came about 3 hours ago

52 staples later, the nurse says .................




"I have never before removed so many staples"




she even wondered if the staple gun had "gone wrong" as there were so many very close together in one area


Trust me! :-D :-D :-D



Drain still in


no shower tomorrow :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Good to hear that you are soon to have your staples out, and then ... A SHOWER.........
.... What Joy!

Bet that Latte tasted good, hope that you are soon able to celebrate with wine, and that you can raise it to our lips with your left hand.

Cheers!

Hi all
xx

1 week progress report .......

Things are gradually improving.

I still have an untold number of staples in an incredibly long incision, and a drain. Hopefully, the drain will be removed on Thursday, and then I can have a SHOWER on Friday

If not, then I will have to wait until Monday ......... and have the first celebratory shower on Tuesday

I have made an appointment with my hairdresser for this afternoon to get my hair WASHED. Oh JOY!

I still have to keep my left arm close against my body, to provide some support ................. and also as a reminder NOT to make many movements!

BUT ... I can now move my left forearm and hand with more ease and without causing too much discomfort, so I can ....................... now type with 3 fingers .......... one of which is on my left hand!

I went out yesterday for the first time ...... for afternoon coffee. The coffee shop owners gave me a free latte. as a welcome back.

This has not been the most enjoyable time, but we're getting there!

Thank you everyone for your support, and good wishes.

no .............. no tall, dark and handsome doctors!


The only male doc I saw was the anaesthetist, and he was about 50!


The porter who took me up to the ward was tall and dark, and young, but ........................................................

Hi all


Thank you everyone



Progress is being made ........ I can now type with 2 fingers, one on each hand!


I have to keep the upper part of my left arm tightly pressed against my body, but can move the lower part enough to get one finger to the keyboard!


OH's sister is down here staying with her son, but we are expecting her to visit later this morning. She leaves on Friday for a week in England .............. visiting their cousin who is fighting a recurrence of breast cancer.


I'm also waiting for the nurse to come, it's change-the-dressing day!

Hi Sylvia,

Lovely to hear from you, and to know that you are slowly improving. Hope it won't be long before you have the log row of staples removed so that you'll feel a lot more comfortable.

Sending you gentle hugs and good wishes.


Love, Sallie.xxx
