Hi
I know its late but I have an appointment with the nurse this morning.
They cancelled my THR 13th Dec because I was anaemic...sonce that they have been shoving iron into me. I now have to go for a blood test to see if I'm still anaemic
I think they are leaving it very late.....this is their half day.....tomorrow Fri then into the next week which is when I get my THR.....if I am anaemic what can they do in that time?
Sorry for this but starting to really worry.
Love
Hileena

Of course you are bothered but there is a plus side (yup, this is me, Daisy, the perennial optimist ). You have been shoving iron into you for some time now which must help matters, no? I reckon all will be well, Hileena. I jolly well hope so. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Good luck with this Hileena ,As DD says your bloods are probably on the up now because of the extra iron ,and they would expect this to be the case ,in the best hands (((())))Marriannex0

Hileena od course I will be there, I can imagine the worry of them saying the iron levels are not right but fingers crossed they have been going in the right way....good luck xxLove

Hi everyone
DD I laughed when I read your optimistic post and thought it was me telling you to look on the positive side {stairs} a few posts ago....why can't I take my own advice
Marrianne.......you are probably right.....I'm worrying....the second one makes me worry more than the first.
Barbara........Thanks for that.....you get that 2nd THR booked for you and pay no attention to me
Oh yes....after the nurse took my blood.....she said you will know in a weeks time. NEXT THURS :shock: and I go in the next day.
No chance ....I'll be on the phone Monday, and Tuesday and Wed until I get them.
Love

Are you going to arrange a date?

Morning all
Another dark, wet miserable day.
BUT I got the blood tests {pre THR} yesterday and they were satisfactory {according to the receptionist} satisfactory.......not superb but that will do me
That's the one that was taken last week because I was anaemic......bit late to do anything since the THR is on Fri :?
She said the results would be back this coming Thurs.
I rang them yesterday {Mon} and they were there!!!!! Shows the advantage of chasing things up.

Well done Hileena ,to keep chaseing ,yes its pretty wet and miserable here as well ,Good wishes for your THR .. bet you come through with flying colours lots of rest and doing all the healthy things till then ,hugs((((())))Marrianne0

I'm pleased the results were satisfactory, and hope everything goes smoothly from here on in.
Thinking of you,

Thank you both for your good wishes.
As for lots "of rest until then" Not a chance :roll:
This is the busiest week I've had for a long time......mostly things I cant get out off either
Oh well....might keep my mind of it.
Love

That is good news because you now know where you are. And so do we. Pace yourself this week, please, OK you will be having a spell of enforced 'rest' soon but it won't do to be too tired before you start! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Thanks DD
You should know by now what I'm like about pacing myself
I can tell others to pace themselves, I know all the theory of it. Stop before you feel you need to stop etc.
BUT putting it into practice is a different thing
Love

Hileena I am glad everything is on track for you..and yes I know you well and there is no chance of getting you to rest..but that is you ...unless we hold you down...xxLove

Hi Barbara
As much as anything........I'm trying to keep my mind of it.
It just so happens its a busy week and I'm not cancelling things.
Love

Sorry I missed this, Hileena, but I'm glad all's well and you're on schedule for the op. I shall be in the ward later, cheering your every stepIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thanks SW......not really looking forward to it but I have a few things I want to mention to them. Like Tramadol....I was on that for the 6 weeks and was like a zombie
I would like some other pain relief if poss.
The spinal block.....they couldn't find the correct place for a while because of my scoliosis....so justremind them about that before I go into theatre LOL
Oh well roll on Fri. get it over and done with.
Planning a holiday in the UK {about 4 days} roughly 8 or 9 weeks after I come out. That should give me something to look forward to
Love

Good thinking hileena...I had my holiday just before my op and was worrying about the op..next time it will be the other way round.. like you are doing..we should be coming into spring......8 to 9 weeksLove
