THR

Hi Everyone
Just asking for pocket duties.....please.
I should be in a hospital bed at this time {2 weeks} and have it done.
I know its a bit early to ask but I have really got the collywobbles this time.......you wouldn't believe it was my 2nd one :?
I had no problems the last time {apart from the usual sleeping on my back for 6 weeks} The only problem was the spinal block ...they had difficulty because of my kypho scoliosis....as the consultant says......as he laughs.....you know you have a rubbish back don't you
True. Not really bothered about that....I'll remind the anaesthetist when he comes round pre op.
So don't know what I'm worrying about really but I am :roll:

Love
Hileena

It makes sense to me, Hileena. I think second time around the innocence is gone and we're more aware of what can go wrong even though it didn't before and is unlikely to now. Think positive. Watch no hospital dramas. And have a few of my rare ones.(((())))

Hi SW
2 weeks without my Holby or Casualty :shock: :shock:
You are right about the innocence having gone....we are more aware of what can go wrong.
I'm trying to be positive but it's not working all the time
Thanks
Love
Hileena

You can definitely count me in Hileena...do you think if I come with you they will do mine at the same time...Like you I am nervous and not got a date yet ...like you say you can make the anesthetist aware of your back probs this time..and just think you will be ready for spring...xx

I think it's very understandable that you are feeling apprehensive about what lies ahead. It's a big deal and will disrupt life for some time but it will hopefully lead to better times. That is the aim and we will get you there. DD

Thank you everyone
Barbara ....I doubt it.....it would be nice wouldn't it if we were in together
DD......thanks. How are you today? I'm suffering payback today :oops:

Love

I'll be there too. I can understand you being nervous. I would be too. I imagine second time round would make you more anxious knowing what is going to happen. There's no reason why it won't all go well.

OK come clean. Did you watch Casualty last night I just don't do any hospital stuff before ops because you usually find that's when the surgeons are fighting each other over a woman across the poor patient. However, in my experience, they're more likely to be talking golf or planning a holiday.

hileena111

OK Sticky
Time to 'fess up
Yes I did watch casualty last night.
I don't watch many soaps {like corrie or emmerdale or eastenders} but I do like Casualty, Holby and doctors

Hi Hileena
I can totally understand your nerves pre 2nd THR. Sometimes it is harder to face things when you know what you are going into. However, you also know you did it before, you CAN do it again!
If you ever need a chat pm me xx

Hi
Thanks NB

I'll be there too Hileena.

You're like me, I don't watch the 'normal' soaps like eastenders and corrie as they are far too depressing and loud (always shouting and fighting), but I LOVE doctors and casualty. I am also a sucker for 24 hours in A&E. Gluttons for punishment I reckon

Oh, and in a way your fear second time around is like childbirth. The first time you are blissfully unaware and feel like an earth mother and think you will do it all naturally and wonder what all the fuss is about. Second time around you nearly pass out as soon as you see the hospital doors, and you grab at any available drug or pain reliever you can find!!! In other words you are more realistic and know what's coming.

Hello Hileena, I apologise for being late replying to your question asking how I am. Well, I'm in pain and hurty but apart from that OK. Mr DD went to footy yesterday so I kept myself occupied with unpacking some boxes. Only sixty or so left. Hey-ho. DD

ouchpotato

Hi Hileena

I'm not great, thanks for asking, but could be a lot worse. I'm sure the constant pain gets to the best of us at some point or another.

hileena111

Oh DD
Take it easy.
I bet you'll come to some that you haven't used the contents of for ages :roll:
I know we did.......2 got left in the garage unpacked for a long time.....garages aren't for cars When we did eventually open them most of the contents went to a charity shop

Love
Hileena

Reporting for hand-holding duties! Take it easy in the meantime and try to cheer yourself with the future prospect of less pain! Hug x

Morning
Well "D" day is almost here.....tomorrow {fri} is the THR
Thanks for all the offers of pocket duties.......I'll need you all
I'll not be online much today.......should be on early evening ffor a while and after that.....don't know :?:
The last time....it was ages before I could look at the computer but looking back I think it was the tramadol....I was "spaced out" for that 6 weeks so I'm going to ask for other pain killlers/dullers
Take care everyone
Love
Hileena

I'll be there, my lovely, and I promise not to distract the surgeon too much with aimless chatter. You come back to us as and when you can 'cos I guarantee we will still be here.

I wish you very well indeed. Be strong, keep strong and stay strong, we will support you all the way. DD

stickywicket

Me too, Hileena. I promise to stop DD flirting with the surgeon and distracting him

Last lap now. You'll soon be joshing with the rest of the ward and cursing the physios.

I found online games a real help post-op. I could always delay my dullers by getting involved with them. (Mind you, I was on a laptop. It'd be different with entire computer on your knee )

villier

I'll be there too Hileena good luck I am sure you wont need it (((()))....................Marie xx

hileena111

Hi
Thank you for your posts.....think I have thanked others :roll:
So No flirting DD Sticky is keeping an eye on you
Mine is a netbook so not big but no internet in hospital. Have to rely on text until I get home.

Love
Hileena

Good luck for tomorrow. I'll be there in your pocket. I'll bring custard creams. Promise to sweep up the crumbs.

hileena111

Hi Christine
Thanks for being tidy I'll not be bothered coping with that tomorrow

Love
Hileena

Me too Hileena, I'll be there too.

Applerose, I'll bring a little handheld vacuum cleaner to save you the job.
