Gulp ....my operation date is 27 September

elnafinn

Dear Tony and Magenta, thank you so much for your support, it is very welcome. It is not long for me to wait now. The weekend has gone sooooooooo quickly. I should not be wishing my life away but hope tomorrow passes as quickly for me too.

It is so kind of you both and the many others who continue calling in on my thread when I know you all have your own problems and pain to deal with on a daily basis.

You are all wonderful.

Love
Elna x

Hi Elna,

Haz said he will help you pack if you like, he is especially good at slippers./... hence his name of slipper boy He got one this morning but thankfully I got it off him before he ate it :roll:

Hope you enjoyed your weekend and Lola will have helped take your mind off it but this close its going to be in the background what every your doing.

Its going to be fine, it really is. Wish you didn't need it but its going to be fine.

Leaving some ((((( ))))) and checking the hug bucket is still working and well as leaving an anti- panic draft and a remember what you need to take with drafts as well. You hang in there and so glad Ian will let us know your ok cus we do worry for real not just cyberly. Love and a ton of hopes Cris xx

Hi Elna

I was nearly late,late for a very important date. Glad I got here before tomorrow. I shall be thinking of you and of course I shall be in your pocket for tomorrow. It all happened very quickly didn't it, but I think thats good, not to much time for you to worry. I am sending you plenty of hugs of comfort for your big day.

All the best Elna for tomorrow. It wont be long before it's all over and we will be reading your post saying well you are doing.

Hello elna, how are the butterflies? Really? Hmmmm, I thought that might be the case (Elna says they are the size of elephants and are being a nuisance) so here's an anti-butterfly draught - yup, I prefer Spanish brandy too, it's softer on the palate. Oi! Steady girl! Not all in one gulp! :roll:
(((()))) and a smidge of love. DD

PS I'll bring another bottle round later.

Good morning dear elna

Just wanted to pop in to say I am still thinking of you. I expect you will be busy today getting the house and your self organized, at least it will keep your mind occupied.
Will be with you 100% tomorrow and wondering about you all day.
Wishing you all the best sending love and hugs (((((())))))) and a speedy recovery.

Dear Elna,
Just to say my thoughts are with you today as you prepare and will be very much there for you tomorrow.

An early start is a very good thing, surgeon is fresh and you have hardly any time to dwell on what is happening. Accept all pain relief offered in the first 48 hours at least and you will probably sleep lots which your body needs to heal. I'm sure it will be fine.

In case Julie is reading this thread, my thoughts are with you too for your forthcoming op which sounds similar if I have got that right? It's never as bad as we anticipate normally.

Also thinking of all of you facing surgeries, procedures and just having a hard time.
Nice to know such a caring bunch of people.

Take care everyone,
Lizx

This may be my only opportunity to get online for the next couple of weeks Elna, so I`m sending two weeks worth of love and sincere good wishes, to one of the kindest, most courageous people on this Forum.

You know, we are always told that, in this life, we get back what we put in. That being the case, you are looking at a future of love, kindness, and painfree wishes, my dear friend. No one deserves them more.

I will keep in touch, one way or another. Be brave.........Much love......Ange.x.

My very best wishes to you Elna.
I do so hope the operation results in an improvement in your symptoms.It will be some time before we will know so until then I look forward to Ian's updates. Tell him not to keep us in suspense.

Virtually into countdown time now, Elna. Positive thoughts. All will be well.

Good luck Elna. Hope you're keeping busy to stay the jitters.

Lots of love

Dear Cris, Karen, DD, Barbara, Julie, Liz, Ange, Elizabeth, SW and Linda,

I cannot believe how lovely you all are. I am truly overwhelmed by all the support I have had on the forum and private messages. I have no butterflies, DD that draught certainly did the trick.

With you all thinking of me, I am not nervous anymore. What will be, will be. Even Ange found the time to call in again and Julie, who has had such a let down phone call this morning. Thank you for being there for me, I feel truly hugged by a calmness.

Vonski, Ian or both will bring you news of me.

Remember you are all very special people, so please look after yourselves,

Lots of love

Hi Elna,

Keep the boring mundane things going for the day so you don't dwell.

Its going to be fine and got everything crossed for you. Leaving a ((( ))) and a bucket of anti-wobble, stamina and Wonky and I have gone halves on a tanker of hopes and love. Cris xx

So the brandy worked? Woo-hoo! Here's another for later (just in case).



That's odd, I thought I'd left some in there. :oops:

Hi Elna,

You know all thats happening here is you are reaping what you have sown all this time. I don't think there are many you haven' helped here or sure and a ton more out in cyberspace.

I know a lot don't post anymore but I also know they will be wishing you well as well so the ether is full of good vibes and hopes for you!

Your going to be ok but..... try as I might I been unable to stop them so the employers and the lodgers are in your pockets as well... there must be enough of us to control them Jury will be out on that for a good while yet

You take it easy and thanks to your pa's. Love Cris xx

Dear Cris, (many times) the employers, Wonky, DD, Toni, Iris, Bertygirl, Anita, Sue (Cloud9) and Ironic,

Thank you all so much for continuing to keep that huge blanket of calmness surrounding me. I have packed, had a shower and set the alarm ….. just in case, although I doubt I would oversleep.

It is now Tuesday.

Stay safe all of you and I must say again I have been utterly overwhelmed by all your support, good wishes and hugs. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, it really has helped me and I hope I will be able to do the same for you some day.

Night, night and bless you all,

Lots of love

Belated good wishes for your operation, Elna. I hope that all goes well for you, and that you make a speedy recovery.

Love from Joanx

elnafinn

Good morning dear, Lynn, Vonski and Joan,

I thought I would give the forum one more, quick look as I am dressed and have swallowed my meds with two tiny swigs of water – no breakas for me. :roll: I still feel calm but may have to shout at Ian if he does not wake up soon.

Thank you for your messages, very cheering, especially at this time of the morning. Cripes, Lynn, sitting in the hall next to smelly shoes, your message is extra special in that case. I hope you’ll be able to sit somewhere more comfortable soon.

Vonski, we will soon be in touch again and Joan, your good wishes are not belated, as I have not left yet, so thank you for thinking of me.

I shall leave you now, I hope you all have a wellish day and thank you for everything.

Love
Elna x
