Another blog post started at 5am, I'm hoping to distract myself from the pain....thank goodness painkillers by 7am! Really didn't realise it was going to be quite so awful post op, pain is exhausting.
Good to be out of the hospital though and in the flat, I managed to walk to shop for food and clothes, although no interest in the former and having to buy a size bigger in the latter. We also managed to successfully leave my cardigan in M&S, having so few clothes and then leaving what I do have in a shop.......
I have an appointment at the Marsden at 9 am with the lymphoedema nurse a kind of squished in 'she'll be able to see you before clinic starts appointment,'
Of which we are grateful, and hope she can answer some of our questions.
( we will also be able to use the hospital wifi and post this blog).
When did doctors stop wearing white coats? (Random thought for the day)
Dr luce has been honing his nursing skills, although we forgot the lunchtime painkillers, and last nights injection broke a small vein....he is however quite a dab hand at tea making, and I did say I was going to invest in a "nanny" bell when we get back home. She rings the bell, Pops comes to do her bidding, seems a good system to me...
Our flight has been booked for Saturday afternoon, whilst I am looking forward to that immensely, I'm not so keen on the flight itself.
Steve here....just topping up this blog before posting...we are at the Marsden and have just popped up to the ward for them to have another quick look. The balance of opinion is that the steak sandwich that jill ate yesterday lunchtime was on balance NOT the best thing to have done.....looking back, all we were thinking about was getting as much protein into the system so we could....it turns out that the steak has probably just blocked everything up....back to the flat for a bottle of laxatives?
Jill's sister Sally has decide to visit...she'll here at lunchtime....that will hopefully distract jill while I get on with things...things like going back to M&S to see if her cardigan is still there....and buying soups and other liquids foodstuffs to try to get things working again.
That's about all for now....let's hope that by tomorrow's blog we are back on form.....weather better today which is a big help...roll on bing able to get home on Saturday.....hopefully.....no more delays required please.
