Update on my op.

Ern007 profile image
71 Replies

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.

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

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 🌺🌺🌺

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 profile image
djbctla in reply toUpandon23

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 todjbctla

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.

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 🙂🙂🌸🌷🌼
