Hurrah!
The dressing is off and the drain is out. Not that I shall be flapping like a budgie at the freedom, but oh what a pleasant relief!
Everything is so neat and tidy, a qualified seamstress could not have done better. A little bit of bruising, but other than that the site is clean and well healed…… after just 7 days!!!
We knew I healed fast, but Hubby said he was not prepared to see something so good after such a short time.
Now I can take things slowly without the threat of getting tangled up and do a little more every day. We popped in to see some friends on the way back from the clinic as they had been worried, though Hubby had made a point of going in to see them when I got out of hospital.
Plan now is another check up on Wednesday afternoon and then we should be OK to come home on Thursday. There will be another appointment later but it’s unfair to impose on MSM until we hear because that could be weeks yet.
Going to the clinic and then out for something to eat has drained me again, but it was so good to be out in the fresh air, even if it was for just a little while.
Maggie has been out of sorts and giving us major concerns by not weeing for around 18 hours, though she did 2 poos. She got Hubby up in the night but didn’t do anything, so he was NOT pleased, especially as it was chucking it down with rain.
No matter how much we tried to encourage her to perform, she did not want to know. Finally at 1.35, she squatted her bot on the Avenue cut through, the first since 6pm yesterday.
Finally got into my blog this afternoon, but don’t feel up to doing very much, but will put a 3TC out after this.
I’m getting there, slowly, but surely, and listening to my body as well as what people are telling me!
That is good news. May all be well going forward.
Thanks Margo
This is really great news Di. You are definitely well on the road to recovery. Hope Maggie gets back to normal soon. Your friend has been so kind and welcoming but, as they say, there’s no place like home.
She has been wonderfully supportive through all of this.
It’s times like this when we find out who our friends truly are.
Yes indeed. We are blessed to know such generous people.
You are, but I also believe in “do unto others.” You and your hubby are also wonderful friends. Kindness begets kindness.
We try to be considerate to other people, so it’s nice that people are so kind towards us at a time like this.
It is for sure.
Hooray! 😀
I share in your delight at getting rid of the dressing and drain. Great to hear you are healing so well. You will probably tire very easily for many months to come yet, if only as you recover from the anaesthetic, but I’m sure you’ll get stronger each week. 🙂
Sorry to hear about Maggie, poor girl! I hope she perks up again once you are home. 🙂
Thanks Sci. I don’t anticipate being ‘right’ for a few months, so preparing for a long drawn out recovery. Maggie is a worry as well as trying our patience which is already shredded beyond endurance. We’re both tired, Hubby through worry for me and me for worry for hm! Soon be home in our own beds and can get back into our own routine. That’s what’s throwing her as she has someone else to fuss her and give in to her whims, the little minx!
Aw well Maggie will be picking up on everyone’s stress too. It will be great for you all to be home again, but how marvellous to have such a good friend to take care of you now. 🙂
We could not have managed without her generosity
Yeyyyy! Hurrah for our brave friend. Take care dear.
thank you!
Sorry to have missed your prompts for last couple of days. We were out of town, visiting our younger daughter’s family. And of course the little grand daughter, 🥰
How lovely! Trust everyone is well and you had a good time.
We did. It was a short visit but we were fully occupied by that little angle.
Such good good news!!!!
Yay!
I’m so thrilled for you, Di! Congratulations!! 💗 So happy to hear you were able to get fresh air and that the area is nice and cleaned up properly. That’s fantastic!!!
Poor Maggie, she probably has the same thing as my roommates dog, Pinky. It’s called “The Bladder of Steel” – I don’t get it either. She can hold it for so long and I’m always afraid she’s in pain. If I had to hold it in for more than a hour, you’d need to slap a diaper on me real quick.
Again, I am so happy for you, but don’t push yourself too hard. 😍😘
Little steps and one day at a time.
That’s exactly how you have to do it. But, damn… I’m impressed only after 7 days. 🤗
Morning Beckie! Did another first today……. post going out later! Don’t worry, bungee jumping and hang gliding still on hold! lol
LMAO!! 🤣 You’re a riot!
I look forward to the new posting! 🤗
Posted a little while ago.
Got it! 😉I first had to look up Snooker. Now, I must think. I still haven’t drank any coffee yet… This might take a moment. LOL! 🤣
Tea for me……………. amber nectar first thing!
That sounds good actually, but I’m gonna make some strong coffee before I continue reading and/or writing. LOL!
All good and hopefully you will be home soon, because as it’s already been said and I agree, there’s no place like home.
Was it painful at the time of removing the drain?
Not at all. The nurse said that someone said it was like being tickled from within, and one deep breath and it was all over. I’ve experienced very little pain to be honest, and all I’ll be left with is a very fine white line of a scar.
That’s good.
All my love to you, Superwoman. Keep trudging. 💕
Hi my friend! How lovely to hear from you! Hope you’re doing OK. I’m doing great!!!!
