Surgery & living alone

All the single ladies,40, 50, 60, 70! We’re all absolutely fabulous and lucky not to have to worry about how the other half is coping with our dented or missing tits, our highs and lomws  or dealing with their emotions

Also find that description"other half"a bit odd as we’re all whole people in our own right

anyway,  love you all!

Thank You all for your words of wisdom…I will give

Welcome to the best group, My memory is failing me at moment, can’t retain any information hoping this is the drugs and not my brain!!
Prehaps just a thought, we should turn into choir! lol
Once things have settled down, visitors etc I will have more time for book, band, choir etc…
I think You are all the coolest chicks in the whole wide world…Huge hugs xxxx​:relaxed::relaxed::relaxed::relaxed::relaxed:

Hi, Ive spend sometime looking back and re- reading posts, trying to retain information…7 b great name
welcome lost tit, I am little tit…
Just another thought, prehaps we should do an art exhibition photographs of women with mastectomy
(No head shots) that way women would have some idea what to expect…We wouldn’t have to go!! lol
well perhaps to the champagne reception…lol xxx

You are full of good ideas Alison!A choir ,champagne reception!! My brain has gone AWOL since operation too. I can drive again now but I’m dangerous ,had a few near misses,can’t remember anything,not sure what day it is,can’t make decisions etc etc. Getting your hair done sounds like a good idea will make you feel better.Glad your son seems to be giving you a bit of support.You sound a lot more positive than you did this time last week.

Thank You Jill, Yes was feeling more positive untill I got out of bed and saw there was blood on my foot ( large amount) thought my drain had come out!!
Phoned 999 trying to keep calm, whilst I thought I was bleeding to death and making a mess of my house in the meantime…
Paramedics came my tube had just come detached!!
Feel like a fool…Still worried waiting for breast nurse to phone me back!!
Another chapter in book found…xxxx

Good idea Jill, no one has come yet!! Phoned my son but he said it would take him half hour to get here after he has shower etc!! lol
Just as well I am not bleeding to death!!!
Now I have discovered I have a leak in kitchen as well!!
Think I am going back to bed!!! lol xxx

Hi Dawn,
So glad your at home now. Getting your hair done. Why not!! As for bleeding i had that 10 days after my lumpectomy me and it scared me as like you i thought i was bleeding to death. Happened at night too. Luckily i had an appintment with my surgeon following day so I waited. Must confess was not going to risk going to local AandE. Silly i know but it turned out to be a haematoma a build up of blood that she drained off for me. Apparently its really common either aftet op or 10 days after.
So 7b i hope everyone is enjoying the weather and has a fab weekend ?. Feet up boobs out and crack open the vino!! Lol xxxxx Photography exhibition liking that idea particularly the fizz bit!!!xxxxx

Out and about, nothing terribly exciting but keeping myself busy-ish. A big hug to the whole band xxxx.

Have a good night Mael ,I am practising mouth organ for opening night in San Francisco… pretty s **t so far ,def not Leonard Cohen…

I am sure you’ll sound awesome, Jill x

June I think, we should just all enjoy life and do what is fun no mater how old we are…
Another day of visitors, texts which I an very gratefull for, no wonder I have no energy…
Can’t wait till this drain is taken out, I feel very anxious about it after this morning…
Hope you all are fab, big hugs xxxxx

Mael I think you are right…
I am going to chill this weekend and read a book bought loads to read…xxx

I know i’m always optimistic girls. Went out with the school lot tonight as a good friend was leaving. I had a good time but their endless chat of nothing that really matters got me. I didn’t show it of course. But dreading even more going back on Monday. I can’t do this anymore I need a change of everything. You girls understand what I’m saying. Hugs Dee xxxx

Dee, guess after BC everything else becomes mundane!! Our whole perspective about life must change…Why not make a list, of what you would like to do, what can you afford to do…How you are going to do it…
I would love a change, but couldn’t afford to
unless I win the lottery…xxx

This definitely changes your perspective on everything,what to do about it that’s the 64 million dollar question.The list idea is a good one Alison I think I may do that .Dee ,I don’t blame you for wondering how you will deal with work,I couldn’t even face driving past at the moment.It is hard to interact with people who haven’t been through this or been through it with you sometimes.

Thanks girls. I do love teaching its the kids that keep you going. Guess i was just feeling vunerable last night. But onwards and upwards. If i can get through BC whats one werk at work hey? And then summer hols ?xxxx

Good afternoon 7B!

just wanted to agree that a reevaluation of life is based on the way things have changed for us all

I feel that I cannot be satisfied with the job I do now, it’s not a mundane job, indeed I work for an government body protecting vulnerable and abused children, so not doing it for the money but because I need to feel I can make a difference.  But,  and it’s a big one, I cannot stand some of the people I have to work with!!

so I can relate to Dee and outing with colleagues last night

does everyone else feel really bolshie…? Ready to challenge small talk and banal conversation? 

oh somebody bloody well cheer me up lol

had the last two days off work as couldn’t cope and have appointment to see gp on Monday,  I just cannot face it

Sun is shining and I’ve walked 8 miles this morning,  physically feeling fantastic! 

what’s everyone up to today? 

sheena xxxx

Hug Sheena :slight_smile: the shrink has lent me a book and I am wandering in Holland Park and reading it. Monday I see the oncologists. Feel like vomiting if I think to this. Better I keep reading. xxxx

Wow!! Sheenna 8 miles
" Huge round of applause "
A good walk is Great, Cant wait till I have the energy to play golf again on a Sat!
I am not a big fan of TV, but my son worked out that if I watch every episode of game of thrones, I will pass over a week by, and that will get me a week closer to results!!
I guess some times things happen in life that can change everyone it dosnt necessary have to be BC!!
If we didn’t end up with BC we would be just has ignorant has everyone else…
So its not their fault…
For myself I think that if I learn something that would make the next womens journey easier I must make sure that people understand and know that.
Work, my job was always a means to an end, I like my colleagues, and it pays the morgage…
However I have always put off travelling for one reason or another…So whilst I am dealing with BC
I going to research places I want to go instead of making excuses I am going even if its on my own…
Please can someone tell me when I am allowed a glass of vino…:relaxed::relaxed::relaxed::relaxed:xxxx
