Glad to hear all went well. Do we asume the blood pressure problem was down to a good looking doctor or two maybe ?

The latest news from Sylvia!


Things are slowly getting better. I did create some worry in the hospital as my blood pressure would not come down.

It started at 183 just before the operation

reached over 200 on post-op

got as high as 227 on the ward late on Tuesday afternoon.

I did not have any other symptoms, such as headaches, etc, and felt pretty OK ............ having had very high bp before, I know how rotten it can make you feel!

They called in an internist, who prescribed another bp medication, but thought I should go home the next day as I might well feel better at home
........... with the caveat that I had to keep taking my own bp, and go to my own doctor or emergency if it did not come down.

Fortunately it is ................. highest now is 170, but it has been down in the 130s.

A Public Health nurse comes on Monday and Thursday to change the dressing,and will do any other necessary things, such as removing the staples.

Staple removal should be some time next week .... 7-10 days after the op,hopefully!

I am stapled up from here to eternity!


shouldn't fall apart any time soon!!


I see the surgeon on October 31st and will know then whether I will need any further treatment.




Looks as though all is going well. Cx.

Thank you for the update Cynthia, it's much appreciated.
Great news to hear that Sylvia is home.....looking forward to seeing her back on here.

Please pass on my love and very best wishes when you next 'speak' to her.

I am sorry to hear you have to go under the knife on Tuesday ,I will be thinking of you and I will say a special prayer to-night that all goes well .

Life here in oz is good we are finally having some nice sunny weather, to-day was very nice we had a big Bon fire in the paddock late afternoon invited all the neighbour's and had a sausage sizzle and Marshmellows on sticks our neighbours are in a drumming group and they all came and we had a little concert the Grand children loved it and were dancing to the drum's.
May God bless you and keep you safe in his arms during your operation and recovery.

Love and Hug's Marie

Hope that you and O.H can have a nice relaxing day today. (and tomorrow).

Will be thinking of you on Tuesday, and sending positive vibes.


Just pictured you turning up for you mammogram next year (sorry warped sense of humour) and imagining the faces of the mammogramists 9or what ever they are called.).

I wonder if the hospital staff have been rushing round trying to find some old-style elastoplast? At least Elastpplast shouldn't have a use by date.
Bet your ers are burning as they make umpteen phone calls to their suppliers and local pharmacies.

love
