Hiya P
Only natural to question your decision, its life-changing stuff your going through and your head needs to catch up every now and then

Just go through your list of all the positives vs the negatives, the positive list will be much longer than the negative,

It's days like today I wonder why I say I am doing this for my kids ! Selfish self centred lazy good for nothing .
Come home from z hectic day at work ( health doesn't let up for Xmas ) & the place is a mess , youngest still in bed & eldest lazzing on sofa grrrr
rant over
Off for a nice soak now , anywhere but watching bloody simpsons

Julie2 · 23rd December, 2011

I'm really pleased for you Cheryl, hopefully it won't be long before you have the op. I had mine 3rd Nov and I can tell you there is absolutely nothing to worry about, the worst thing really is the trapped wind but you should be up and about the same day of the op and then it will ease itself out

Enjoy your liquid stage

pandora · 23rd December, 2011

Meant to post that I rang the secretary again the other day , am looking at march / April time , but also said I would take a cancellation

pandora · 24th December, 2011

Feeling a bit low today , doing all the last min bits .
I don't mind being single , but this time of year all you see is happy couples enjoying Xmas together & I have to admit to being jealous . Nearly cried in the car thinking how lonely I felt

flowerofshona · 24th December, 2011

You can have John hun he is driving me nuts!!! has his Victor head on and its going to dissappear up his butt very soon !!!!!!

pandora · 24th December, 2011

Aw sweetie thanks , I will take you up on that offer but it will have to be in the new year as I dont have an evening where I'm not either working or doing something before then .
Hope John cheers up , humbug lol
Merry Xmas to you both xx

pandora · 24th December, 2011

pandora · 29th December, 2011

So Christmas is gone for another year & I put on 3.5lbs , which I am ok with .
Today is my daughters 16th birthday & we are going out for an Indian meal tonight with all the family & tomorrow she is having a party ..... quite why I agreed to it I'm not sure lol .
Today I am house tidings in preparation , slowly tho as i get such back ache

I just keep thinking "this time next year "

NOMOREyoyo · 29th December, 2011

pandora · 31st December, 2011

So the party is over & done with & now the tidying needs to be done ... slightly difficult with assorted sleeping bodies about lol . I know one group were still awake at 4ish
I did tell daughter everyone had to be gone by 1pm , not sure that will be achieved though .
All that stress , wasn't necessary really but least if there is another one ill know I can cope , just this was the first one ..... oh & apparently I am a legend lol !!!

pandora · 31st December, 2011

How can 2 people from the same gene pool be so different ?
My sister is so judgmental & uptight , things are awkward with her & my niece cos she doesn't like ny nieces friends , but cos I am more relaxed & open minded my niece is comfortable here , but that's wrong too .
It's so hard to bite my tongue but I can see it getting out of hand .
We didn't talk for 5 months in 2010 cos I said she was. a bit ocd & she didn't like it ( although its true lol )
