Hey Nic!!!
Your story is a really good read... hey, aren't those Flowtron's fantastic?!!! Mine were a lovely orange and white
Sorry to hear that you became anaemic - lots of liquidised spinach will help with that... yum yum yum, eh?!!!
Take care and I hope you continue to rest up and do really well...

Hey Ollie
Thanks hun and it's good to hear from you, hopefully get the appointment through for the end of August just before my birthday (and Shell's, we both have same birthday but I'm much older lol). That will be a nice present eh!
Just got to carry on with the iron tablets and that should sort me out xxx

Awwww, sorry you're feeling a bit crap today *hugs*
What I have is a little spritzer bottle filled with cold water - I got it in Superdrug for about 90p, and it's brill!!! It's near the travel mini's.
In India, when it hit 45oC+ during the summer (1999 was 52oC!!!) I used to find it hard to sleep, so I would have a shower and lie down sopping wet under the fan (when the electric worked - the substation would overheat and they had to turn the power off all the time!!!)
I find it works here... even if there is little to no breeze, the cool water is lush and really helps the body to utilise it's own cooling system... evaporation!!!
Hope you feel better soon, baba

Hey hun
Feeling better today although having to go back to nurse again this afternoon as one of wounds is infected.
Got one of those fans too so that was keeping me cooler yesterday and we went out for a ride to Blackpool and Thornton last night so there was a nice breeze. Then we drove through to Fleetwood where Mum and Dad had Fish, Chips and mushy peas lol whilst I sat there with my bottle of juice!! They smelt so good too but wasn't tempted.
How's things with you? xx

Sounds like you had a lovely day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good to see you here
hi nic
just read your thread and found it really informative, i've got my op 2wks on fri, and have just told my 11year old daughter im having it done, she was a bit upset, but laughed when i told her i'd be nicking her clothes in a few months lol. i have told her she will be able to come to the hosp to see me, but after reading your diary wonder whether it will scare her too much, dont want her to see me looking too rough, i'm having it done fri morning and thought she would be able to come fri evening, what do you think?

Hi Helen,
Sorry to jump on your thread nic...
I would say the Saturday would be better if possible, I was pretty out of it on the day of the op right through till late evening. My son, who is 7, came to see me the next day and it was fine. By then the only attachment I had was the drip so much easier for him to deal with.

Hi Helen
I had my op done on the 15 May, I have an 8yr old and he was upset with me having op but i talked with him, and reassured him heaps...... it depends on you completely, I was a bit concerened about him coming to see me, and had orginally said to come on the Friday night, but i knew he would worry and so hubby brought him up on the Thursday so he could see I was fine and have a kiss and small hug...... you will know what is best and everyone is different I personally found it helped him to see I was ok!!!!!!!!!!
The nurses were fantastic as well, and explained any questions he wanted to know they answered!!!!!!!!!!
Hope that helps! if you want to email me you can on [email protected]

I'm good, thanks baba
Sorry to hear one of your wounds is infected - hope it's clearing up ok.
Isn't it weird how foods that would have made us salivate don't really bother us anymore?! Mum had a plate of Butternut Squash korma today and although I could smell it and 'appreciate' the smell, I was happy to sit there and wasn't bothered by it...
However, I'm sure once I start to eat solids, that might change!!!
Take it easy and I hope you start to heal up soon.

Hi Nic,
Sorry to hear that the wound's infected. I hope they get it sorted soon for you.
I know what you mean about not wanting to eat naughty foods. Now, I have the odd bite of what I fancy if it's soft enough, but that's enough, so eight weeks down the line and it's still good. There's no way that I could have a major binge now anyway as i still feel full and get full fast.
