Fingers crossed they discuss you this morning Sue .
Haven’t had s cancellation call so fingers crossed x
I guess they would have rung you by now ?
Consultant clinic starts at 2 so suppose they might still be in meeting x
Jill I just been to boots they got the pillow spray on offer that Helena was telling us all about 5.99 for spray but buy 2 get 3rd free x
I think they normally have these meetings first thing .My stuff from Lush is arriving today -gonna try it and Valerian tablet !!! Worth a try !!!
Yes, have two drains. One is like a catheter bag style and that will stay in for up to one week. The other is what they call a redivac drain, so basically a suction bottle. Neither are causing me any bother other than having to remember to pick them up when I go walkabouts ? I was told 3 - 5 days inpatient but the average is 3 days. My surgeon said I could potentially go home after 2 days if I was happy with drain (he knows I’m a nurse and I guess that means I’m sensible rofl ?) but after review this morning the redivac drain has drained more than they expected so it has to stay in and they will review it tomorrow ( normally it would have come out today). I’m in no hurry to go home as I live alone and also I’m quitting smoking (I know, unclean, unclean!!), less temptation whilst I’m in hospital. I’ve been using efag for last few weeks but I’ve now transitioned to the patches. I did it once before after an op, and managed 8 months before I was led astray by the Irish, ?
Good to hear you are still on for results for today, still got everything crossed for you.
They are the same exercises as last time but didn’t do them last time as had full movement within 24 hours. Seen the physio this morning and she said absolutely no moving it above shoulder level for next 10 days (even if I feel able) slow and steady wins the race apparently.

It is a refivac I am having but I have got a drain Dollie ready to carry it about x I stopped smoking in May before diagnosis and use an ecig but 0 nicotine x I did smoke when told lymph node involvement had 3 cigarettes but didn’t enjoy them to be fair xx I believe mine is a 1 night stay thanks to in out policy lol always someone waiting for your bed xx
I did exactly the same when told there was lymph node involvement … went straight to shop and bought pack of cigs!!! Stupid but needed my crutch at that time. Fingers crossed it sticks this time. Still love cigarettes but sick of smoking and fed up of the cost! Xxx
Got here early because traffic wasn’t as bad as I anticipated and guess what consultant is running late and my appointment not til 4.15 anyway eek ? x
Fingers and toes crossed Sue!!!
