Calling on all our Pink Flamingo's friends

stickywicket · 14. Dec 2011, 06:21

Our lovely Julie goes into hospital on Friday for her op on Saturday. She’s still a bit concerned about her leg and is now also entering the ‘butterflies and collywobbles’ stage which is all too familiar to those of us who keep the surgeons busy. I know she will appreciate any good vibes and good wishes and I know you lovely people will step in to provide them.

Dear SW x;)

Great minds think alike and you just beat me to it. x:-D Thank you so much for starting this thread. I have been AWOL for a day or so.

Dear Julie, x:-D

Not long now, keep as calm as you can, we are all here for you, and it will soon be over and you can begin the christmas festivities with the op done and dusted. x:-D I am thinking of you constantly and know how you are feeling, all too well, but this op has to be performed so the sooner it is out of the way, the better.

Loads of love
Elna x

Julie
I think most of us would agree that the worst part is the waiting,once you are there everything seems to happen so quickly.Before you know it you are waiting to go home and all what happened before is bit of a blurr.
Hope all goes well and you enjoy Christmas in the knowledge it's done!!

aw thank you sticky it is so kind of you to start a thread for me , I was just nosying on the forum and saw it. x:-)

Elna, jillyb1, Ron,barbara,Sheila thankyou for your responses too.

You know what? I have had 2 lovely telephone conversations today with 2 good friends and a lady who I have become friends with by just passing on the street has just called round and brought me some chocs.

I feel after my conversations really quite settled at this moment in time (don't know about friday x

) and keep saying to myself all will be well and that I am going to a health spa instead x

If anything keeps cropping up and worrying me, it is my stump. Although scabbed over, it still doesn't feel right. I just hope it stays intact and doesn't errupt until after the surgery. It is well padded up so in my mind it shouldn't worry the surgeon.

Anyway......yes positive thoughts,
I am all packed, except for meds, the house is tidy, the drawers are tidy, the cupboards are tidy. Hey.....even I am tidy x

Thankyou again everyone
Love from a smiling flamingo (hope it lasts x

) xxxx

dreamdaisy · 14. Dec 2011, 11:09

We will be there with you en masse (there probably won't be room for Richard, the surgeon or the theatre nurses but hey, we'll manage somehow!) I am sure all will be fine, but you know where we are if the flutterbups suddenly grow, OK? DD

PS Thank you stickystockyticky, you also beat me to it. Am I allowed to cross a to-do item off the list if someone else has done it?

valval · 14. Dec 2011, 13:55

Julie I shall be with you to hold your hand. Three little bits of advice.

Be brave,

Sending 'behave yourself stump' vibes and the very best of luck.

Hi Julie,
I am so pleased that you have had a better day today and what a lovely boost to have someone bring you some chocolates.
I hope the calmness stays with you. Now step away from the cupboards, they are tidy so I have been told so don't go messing them up.

I will be thinking of you, and sending loads of extra hugs and the warmest of thoughts.
Lv, I x

Dear Julie

So the big day will very soon be here, my lovely. I hope today rushes past for you, dear Julie, one more sleep and by the end of tomorrow, it will be over, finished, done and dusted and you will wonder why you were so nervous and all the other emotions that get to us when going in for an operation. All will be well, I shall be thinking of you so much tomorrow and Rich and your family too as it involves others close to us just as much.

Loads of love
Elna x

lindalegs · 15. Dec 2011, 06:57

I'm here again Julie, wishing you well and thinking of you.

Make sure you accept all the help offered and gets lots of TLC.

Tell Dr Dick not to worry ...................I know, our O/Hs always do but you're in good hands and his turn for looking after you will come before he knows it.

Sending positive vibes and courage hugs (((((((((((( ))))))))))))) x:-D

Love, XXXXXX

Thankyou again elna and lindalegs for popping in .

Elna....I am being admitted tomorrow at 4pm but the op won't take place until saturday. I am not sure monring/afternoon or late afternoon, will probably find that out tomorrow.

Dear Julie x:-D

Well the big day has arrived. I know you will be having mixed feelings you would not be normal if you did not! I shall be thinking of you and let us know as soon as you can or perhaps DD or Rich can give us some news. I hope you sleep well there and are first on the list tomorrow morning. We are going to see MIL today - it is trying to snow, I hope it does not settle.

You be a good girl now, all will be well, and so looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Lots of love
Elna x
