Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Totally agree with Sue R's comment make the most of resting and being spoilt, relax and don't rush into getting around sooner than you need to. (listen to your body ). wishing you as pain free recovery as possible. Peggy Quote
dublinbay Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Get well soon Nichola. Glad the op went ok and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks everyone! I'm getting there very slowly! Went to see my practise nurse today and she changed my dressings. Silly me looked at my scars and started to feel really sick! Had to get Joe to come and help me back tothe car after not being able to leave the nurses' room until she was happy I'd not pass out on the way! Opps! Quote
HappyMaz Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Oh dear Nichola: I'm sure you won't make that mistake again! Glad to hear you're recovering well: how long was your list of favourite things and did your lovely hubby get them all? Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 It wasn't long! Just involved things like chocolate and crappy magazines and plenty of my favourite fresh orange juice! Quote

Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Sometimes only the trashy magazines will do! Absolutely! Thing is, once you've read one, they have nearly all the same stories! Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Glad to hear that everything went well. Take it steady. Mary Quote
Deb Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 How di d I miss this? Hope you're feeling better today Nichola and wishing you a speedy recovery. Quote
Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks everyone, it's nice to read so many nice comments! I never post that much on here anymore now I'm not in early years or mainstream! Quote
Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 wishing you a speedy recovery Nichola Quote
Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks. Today is the first day I've left the house (other than my trip to the doctors on Friday) and I've really felt it. I ache so much right now and I've sat on my backside for most of the time, just moving from one place to another every now and again! Back to see the nurse on Monday for another dressing change. Quote
Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Been to see the nurse todayI did well at my nurse visit and didn't feel queazy at all. She said my wounds are healing really well! Got another appointment for next week for another check but she was really pleased with the way they were looking. Quote
Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 So glad to know you are progressing well Nichola. Quote
Guest Jeminia Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Enjoy the rest! You will be able to do lots of paperwork! Quote
Guest Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Enjoy the rest! You will be able to do lots of paperwork! I'm not doing any and to be honest with it being the start of the year there isn't really any for me to do! Quote
Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Further update for anyone who is interested: Been to see the nurse today, 2 weeks on from my op and I now have no dressing to cover my scars as they are doing so well and just have a bandage for support. I managed to cope with 1 stick at the doctors so I'm going to try and stick with that. I can even do the stairs at home without my crutches at all. I'm so looking forward to having a shower later! Until now its been a wash in the sink as I wasn't able to get my dressing wet. It's great progress but I'm not going to push myself too far. After that trip to the docs I slept for 3 hours this afternoon! Quote
Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Glad to hear it is all going well - keep healthy and happy! Quote
narnia Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Nichola, really glad to hear you are doing so well.............................the shower will be bliss!! Quote
Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Nichola, really glad to hear you are doing so well.............................the shower will be bliss!! I'm so looking forward to it! Keep finding things I like watching on TV (currently watching a programme about anger, which is really interesting, I'm not an angry person but my husband can be!) so I'm going in after that. I can't wait! Quote
Deb Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Glad you are making such good progress, keep it up, and enjoy your shower! Quote
Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Hi all, if anyone is interested here's the latest with me! I'm signed off until half term (24th October) as I go to see the consultant on the 23rd so my GP thought that would be the best time to look at me again. I'm still using 1 crutch but I'm not relying on it as much as I was. Around the house I don't use it at all if I'm just moving from one room to another. I've made it out for a little walk today, to the end of the road where there is a little wood and back. It's not far at all but progress is progress. I can't walk far enough to get to the other end of the road where the shops are, but maybe soon I will be able to! Thanks to everyone who has asked about me when I've been in chat, it's lovely to know people care enough to ask! Quote
Beau Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 And what a lovely day for a walk it was too! (Assuming that the sun was shining where you are!) Glad that you are making progress, even if it is quite slow. Hope it is good news when you have your next appointment. Quote
Lorna Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Glad you enjoyed your walk. Hope it didn't tireyou out completely. A little more each day. Hope you are not missing school too much L Quote
Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks guys, I am really missing the kids and my friends at work. Quote
