Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Just wanted to let you guys know that tomorrow morning I'm going into hospital for my ankle surgery. I have to be there at 7am so I'm hoping that I'm in the morning surgery and I'll be home by the evening. I'm nervous as hell and feel sick about it but I know it's for the best and that I'l be ok. I was really quite emotional saying bye to the kids today, especially as most of them wont have a clue why I'm not there and some wont even know who I am when I go back or realise that I'm not there. I think the internet will be my lifesaver for the first few weeks when I can't get out and about. Edit: o0o0 this is post 888! I'm sure I'll reach 1000 before I go back to work!

Lorna Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Good Luck Nichola. Make sure you take it steady. Don't try to return to work too quickly after the operation. Try and relax and get a good nights sleep. Some relaxing music maybe to help you nod off. Take care. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquieL Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm sure that all will go well, but going for an operation is a bit nerve wracking isn't it? In 24 hours it will all be done and dusted. As Peggy says, you can join the dayshift on here. Now everyone is back at work it has gone very quiet during the day so it will be good to chat. I'll think of you tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi! I'm home! I'm still rather sleepy and have slept for most of the past 24 hours. I didn't go down to theatre until 2.30 and I remember the clock in recovery saying 4.25. Apart from that I spent most of yesterday evening and today asleep! Came home at about lunchtime today. I have crutches but I have to weight bare on my foot straight away, as much as pain will allow me. It's tricky but I am trying! Got to go to get my dressing checked out on Friday at my local surgery and a follow up appointment in October with my surgeon. So fingers crossed for a good recovery! I had a side ward all of my own in hospital so I was spared the old dears that were on the ward, who I occasionally heard when I'd propped my door open to see what was going on! The staff were lovely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
