Start a new thread dear - keep this one for the fun side of life and get a new thread just for the post-op, waiting for results issue.
Hope you are feeling better soon - you will be amazed at how much better you are feeling in a couple of days. Just be kind to yourself and no super-hero stuff.
Good luck with the results too … fingers crossed for the next 2 weeks then
Think I had convinced myself that this would all be a piece of cake. Before the op the surgeon said he didn’t think it was a fiber thingy as you normally get them at puberty and it didn’t feel like one. I had also been told that I would probably be out for half an hour but it was an hour and a half. When the surgeon came back to see me he said he had to make a round insion to scoop more out as the lump was undefined then stitch it back together so now I have a large dent. He also said I should prepare myself that it may not come back benign (really wish he hadn’t said that) Is that standard? I’m not in much pain as I’m dosed up but I feel really yucky and my mouth is so dry.
On the plus side, it’s a military hospital and the docs were all in uniform yum yum. ha ha.

Hi Chrissie
Glad to hear that you have come out the other side of the op, I guess you are feeling a mixture of things right now which would be perfectly normal.
Don’t do too much for the next few days and let us know as soon as you have your appointment.

Hi Girls
Got up at 8 to see my youngest on the bus for school, hoovered, not a good idea. Went back to bed 2 till 5 and now I’m sooooooo bored. Don’t think I need my painkillers which I think are making me sleep and my boob feels no worse that after the core biopsy. Just popped over the shop and feel knackered once again.
I’m not going to dwell on what the surgeon said, he was probably covering his own arse. So onwards and upwards eh? If I don’t have my appointment through by wednesday the nurse told me to call. I couldn’t believe it when she read out the paper work and it said 2 months, I told her the surgeon said 2 weeks which she checked on and had it confirmed.
Liz… You made me laugh with your text messages yesterday. I don’t know how to put my phone on silent (On account of not being 12) and kept getting told off!
Think I probably sounded a bit of a misery yesterday and I’m sorry. This is such a roller coaster of emotions and as I’m sure you all know it feels a bit weird.
Called my boy (19) who is working in Turkey and said I was fine and given the all clear. No point him worrying for the next 2 weeks is there!
My girls are away for most of the weekend and I really wish they were here. We have a girlie night on a friday, all the soaps and a spagg bog. Oh well… having six kids you tend to dream of nights on your own, but when I do I miss them terribly.
Speak soon, and love to you all.

Hi Chrissie - I am here at my friends in North Wales, with a bottle of wine in me but I am worried about you.
I will ring you tomorrow if thats okay. Sorry if I got you into trouble !!
Lots of love

Sorry to hear that the surgeon sowed the seed of doubt - but as you say he is probably just covering his own ass. Good luck with appointment and take care of yourself in the meantime… I kept getting told off for doing too much, I kept saying it was minor surgery and others kept saying ‘yeah but still surgery!’
Hi Brenda
Glad your having a break, bottle of wine? Now your just making me jealous. No need to worry about me I’m fine. Great if you can call today but don’t worry if you can’t. No need to worry about me getting into trouble over the phone. It was very funny!
Today I’ve decided to stay awake for the whole day, slept for 11hrs straight last night on top of a few hours during the day. I feel in good spirits today and my boob is just a little bruised.
My friend is coming for the day tomorrow and said she’s going to drag me over the pub lunchtime (Won’t need much dragging) I called her back and said I’d cook a roast and I had the same response as you Lilacbushes. ‘You’ve just had surgery’ ha ha.
Speak soon
