Update on my op.

[Ern007]

Well up at crack of dawn and was at hospital by 7-30.

Being a Sunday it was a different ward - All was well, even an early time for my op.

Everything was OK until I had to give enough urine so I could go home. Much easier this time, normally it's a battle.

Then the cramps started - turned into spasms and I have had this before once- Took the icing back off the cake.

I could have asked for help - I would have been given antispasmodics and the side effects are worse than the spasms.

Two years ago I found this out, I will take morphine which is for pain - It worked last time.

So now the op is over - I will be summoned to Preston by the MDF - I may even be offered a treatment - I can refuse.

Glad everything went well apart from the spasms. Hoping you can get on top of any pain and thinking of you. Xxx🩷😘

[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

[Donald_1931]

Good news that it's done with Enrn, hope the pain has eased.

[Ern007 in reply to Donald_1931]

Pain as eased Donald - spasms still there but not as fierce. Good nights sleep should help.

[djbctla]

Thinking of you Ern, sending good wishes. It’s a tough time for you at the moment, keep strong. Easy said I know. 🌺🌺🌺

BERNARDINE 🌹🌹

[Ern007 in reply to djbctla]

Thank you BERNARDINE - It is tough , I try and keep strong. we can't give in. Got some sleep. xx

[djbctla in reply to Ern007]

Great news sleep is so important BERNARDINE 🌹

[Ern007 in reply to djbctla]

True, I am not the best of sleepers but last night, I went when head touched - I should try not watching Netflix as much.

[djbctla in reply to Ern007]

Hi Ern,

I know the feeling, I listen to borrowbox at night to help me to sleep - and sometimes during the day, (it’s a free library app also available in the UK). I’m from Ireland.

Go into the App Store and download it.

All library members are eligible to use it. Join the library if need b.

I can “set” it to turn off anytime, from end of a chapter, or in 10,20,30minutes etc.,

Once it’s installed it’s easy to use. The choice of books is huge.

During the day I listen to it thru my hearing aids. At night I listen without them. U can do either.

If interested try it. The radio is perhaps more to your liking, both are only suggestions.

A good nights sleep is golden.

Best wishes.

BERNARDINE 🌺🌺🌺

[Upandon23 in reply to djbctla]

I too luve on Ireland Bernardine. Don't sleep well at all. I read a lot but my eyes get vety tired and sore. Borrowbox sounds v interesting. Do I just enquire at my local library to get it? Thanks

Mary

[djbctla in reply to Upandon23]

Hi Mary,

Sore eyes: Ask the GP to prescribe Halo eye drops and Halo Night an ointment, occasionally I use both.

Join the local library, use your membership number to access the borrowbox site. Ask for help while u are there, never b afraid to ask for help, they will b pleased to assist.

Best of luck

BERNARDINE xx

[Upandon23 in reply to djbctla]

Thanks Bernardine, I have Theoloze drops for my eyes but not making a great difference so I'll try Halo. I am a member of local library, but these days don't get there often with mobility probs and severe pain when moving. I'll phone and see if they can help me. So happy I joined this site.

[Ern007 in reply to djbctla]

Thank you I will try it - I like audiobooks

[Alberta56]

Hello Ern. Glad the op went well. I hope you had a good night's sleep and that the spams have abated. Fingers crossed that the medics will come up with some ideas that you like. xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you Alberta56 - Got some sleep. I was super tired so that helped, I am hoping I get a choice. xxx

Thank you JJ_7 - I was treat well in hospital. had this op 5 times before. Was the worst affected yesterday but on better side this morning. xx

[BronchyBronwen]

Pleased to hear of your recovery, Ern. Do hope the spasms reduce a lot. The morphine will certainly help; sometimes it takes a while to kick in, but go with it. Wishing you well. xx 🙂🙂🌸🌷🌼

[Ern007 in reply to BronchyBronwen]

Thank you BB - My morphine is really for my neck and shoulders and does help with spasms - safer and less side effects than anti spasm meds ,On better side this moring, but shoulder kicking in

[Nula2]

Hi Ern, so pleased the op went well but sorry you've had such bad spasms. Fingers crossed they're better (or hopefully gone) today🤞. You have such a lot to deal with and are very proactive in self help. Your family must be very proud of you 🙂. Take great care xxxx
