Hi fluffies

This thread has gone very quiet and I hope that is because everyone is getting on with their normal lives.

Lee I dont know if you are still checking in on here, but was wondering how you are doing and sending you hugs.

Delly How are you dear you have gone very quiet.

Lesley how are things with you as well mate xx

Well it is a lovely sunny sunday morning here.  am 12 days post surgery and apart from a tiny bit of my scar that is refusing to heal on the whole feeling good, I think the fog of the aneasthetic completely lifted yesterday as I felt infinitely more myself for which I am grateful

Have a lovely Sunday whatever you are doing today xxxx

[ladybowler]

Chary

Well I am 9 days post surgery now, doing ok still in a low level of discomfort but feel it most in the mornings after sleeping on my side and not having had meds for several hours but it soon sorts itself out once I have them.  Taking things very slowly cant do anything else 🙂 🙂

[Charys]

Great news Janey!!!! What a relief to know its something 'minor' and yet explainable.

Hows you getting on now Lady H?

[Janey2]

Janey

That is fabulous news relax and enjoy your evening xxxx

[Janey2]

Afternoon flowers. Thank you for all of the positive vibes. I had a very thorough ultrasound. So relieved to say no evidence of mets. I do have liver cysts, which can cause pain, bloating and feeling full, so probable explanation. The relief I feel is incredible and thank you all for being there xxx

Another step forward, which is great Helena. I’m just picking up today’s paper after lovely distracting afternoon at pictures. Not sure chortling helped my Tum much! Ultrasound tomorrow morning, so hopefully some idea soon of what’s causing the problem. Love to all xx

[ladybowler]

Hello fluffies

Hope you are all well and enjoying whatever you are doing

[Janey2]

Take every painkiller they suggest Mrs! Glad you’re resting up, although no doubt your needle will be flashing through a tapestry! Xx

[ladybowler]

Well fluffies

Day 4 started off in a lot of pain, but I now have my meds sorted hopefully that will not happen again because it was awful, expecially as the pain control they pump into you at the hospital has start to wear off which was a very big shock, got a sore coxics and numb bum into the bargin.

Just sitting doing nothing apart from moving around every hour as prescribed.

Lesley

I am going to be the model patient recover, relax and rest xx

[ladybowler]

Janey

I am the rubbish one i didnt post under our thread doh!! Xx

[Lesley21]

Just popped in to check on Lady H.  That’s great news, all done and dusted.  Now you just need to sit back and do nothing other than your tapestry, read and watch telly.  You’ll find it difficult being such a busy bee but at least you know the garden can look after itself now H, well, as a very new gardener,  I think so anyway.  

Will be looking in for updates on your recovery xx

[Janey2]

I’m rubbish messenger, but update to say heading home today! Helena you definitely need to be back here too! Xx

[Alibobs]

Hope you are recovering well Helena. You are over the worse now!!! Keeping you in my thoughts xx

[Charys]

Thanks so much for the update Janey, I dropped on here just to find out if she was 'done and dusted'. I guess no other update for now, but hoping she is doing well. x

[Wombat Woo]

Thanks for letting us know. That is great news xxx

[Janey2]

Evening flowers! A quick hello to say heard from our lovely Lady H. She is out of recovery and eating toast! Poor thing was very late to surgery. Xx

[ladybowler]

Janey

As you would expect from a bowler, I am taking my rinkside bowls bag as it is nice and big 🙂 🙂 xxx

[Janey2]

Hi Charys and thanks for lovely words. Now waiting on colonoscopy and a scan. Still hoping a bug or maybe pancreatitis rather than anything more sinister. Hope all good with you and yours? Helena I hope it’s a very swish and glamorous bag to fit all of us old bags in! With you all the way virtually tomorrow. Rest up tonight. Lots of love xx

[Charys]

I see also that Janey is due more worries! Mate, I'm really sorry to read this (looked back at your post a page or so ago). I honestly can't believe you've got another horrible set of symptoms and tests to endure....things just aren't fair for some people. Keep us updated, and of course, so hoping that your results show nothing more than the most simple and treatable of annoyances. x

[ladybowler]

Charys

Thank you darling, that is really appreciated.  Will be in touch when I am the other side of it all xxxxx

[Charys]

Hiyer all,

Dropping in to wish the lovely Lady H all the very very best for the long-awaited op. They'll take good care of you H, which is nothing more than you deserve. So so hoping that you have a quick recovery and that the results are exactly what you'd hope. Will be thinking of you x

[ladybowler]

Janey

I have a great big bag for you all to climb into xxx

[Janey2]

Helena, I hope you manage to smuggle us all in with you virtually hiding in your pockets xx

[ladybowler]

Julie

They said 2/3 days so I am hoping that I will be out on Thursday but if not then Friday xxx

[ladybowler]

Wombat Woo

thank you so much for that xxxx

[Juliewulie]

I'm sure all will be fine Helena. How long do you expect to be in?
Xx

[Wombat Woo]

Morning Helena. Sending you lots of love and gentle hugs that everything will go as planned this time

😘&🤗

[ladybowler]

Julie

Thanks mate, I really need it to happen this time fed up of waiting around, I am getting cabin fever before I have even had the op now as I have not really been up to doing much until this week, so a lot of sitting around which is doing my head in.

xxxx

[Juliewulie]

Hi Helena
Fingers crossed for you this time. Will be thinking of you.
Julie x

[ladybowler]

Morning fluffies

It is a lovely autumn morning here today, we didnt have the forcast heavy rain which was forcast for yesterday so I think the oscillator will have to come out as the ground looks as dry as it was before.

Well only two sleeps now and I will be doing the journey to the hospital again, hopefully with the expected outcome of my having the op.  Feeling scared, which I suppose is only natural, but trying to keep myself busy, harder as it gets closer.

Hope everyone is well and have a lovely Sunday xxxx

[Janey2]

Thanks Ann. I’m hoping it’s somehow connected to not having a gallbladder! X

[ann-m]

Thinking of you for Thursday, Janey. As ever, it always the waiting around & uncertainty which is needed like a hole in the head when going through this.
ann xxx

[Janey2]

Lesley I hope you and yours have had a better week.  Definitely watch Bodyguard on Catch up if you can.  We are loving Killing Eve as well...anything to distract!  Thank you for lovely words.  No real update and still feeling very nauseous and pained.  I had all appointments slightly out of sync last week.  I met with my lovely surgeon for annual review last Monday.  She was really supportive and suggested I should probably have scan on liver, but with bloods the next day couldn't advise further.  She reassured me I wasn't being a hypochondriac and also asked about ovaries, as my symptoms also could indicated ovarian cancer.  As I don't have any, that was at least one worry off the list!  Anyway, I had the gastroscope on Thursday and results of blood tests.  Both were normal.  I had hoped they would find an ulcer or something to put my mind to rest, but nothing found.  The pain and nausea feel so similar to those I had years ago with gallbladder, but I don't have one of those either (I seem to be missing quite a few organs!!).  Back to the GP on Thursday and hoping some simple explanation can be found.  Would be lying though if I said I wasn't worried.  In my 53 years I don't think I've ever lost my appetite and every pound lost usually a real struggle - Also can't believe I'm worried by weight loss! Despite this, I'm enjoying a lovely day off with sunshine and a coffee with a friend planned for later on today.  Sending love to all of you fluffies xx

[Lesley21]

Evening Willows,

Glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better Lady H, the cough is always the worse and longest lasting bit, also pleased to hear you’re taking it easy.

Oh Janey, what a worry, you seem to go from one thing to another.  Will be keeping everything crossed for a good result.  Himself had worrying liver results last week when in hospital.  He had same test about 6weeks or so ago, and they were fine then so they were puzzled.  Might be down the the stupid gp prescribing antibiotics with contra indications so they’re going to re test in a month and hope they are back to normal then.  In the meantime third lot of antibiotics still not having any effect on his infection.

im still limping, sore and bruised from my fall 3weeks ago, honestly, what a lot we are!

Everyone is talking about The Bodyguard, didn’t watch it, hope they repeat it as everyone is raving over it.

Right, time for painkillers and bed, what an exciting life xx

[ladybowler]

Bodyguard OMG !!!

[ladybowler]

Janey

Oh I am being the model patient, if I do not feel up to doing something I will not do it, tomorrow is another day and I might well feel more up to it.  I am going to make the most of the time off that I have now to get as much rest as possible, if the weather is good I will potter round the garden but I am certainly not going to do anything like I was before.

Sending you loads of hugs and love for your appointments my friend, we are all there by your side  xxxx

[ladybowler]

Dizzy

thank you for that, yes I know exactly what you mean about the forum, I did find it later as I had had my op and results but I really do not know what I would have and would do without it and the wonderful ladies on here.  It is so true, at the time you can not see a future and then all of a sudden we are there xxx
