Hi Tracey, You're so close now! It's completely natural that you're feeling anxious & nervous. Hold on - hopefully once you're through this you'll come out the other side stronger & healthier! It would be so good if you wouldnt need as many steroids & antibiotics & hospital trips in 2016!

Thinking of you and sending you big hugs! xx

Thank u just having a bad day I think feeling real tearful for some reason might b the steroids x

[snoubelles]

Good old steroids!

I find New Year's great for making us more tearful too - everyone reflects on the past year & if you've had some difficult times the it can make you more tearful.

As I've been looking at all my friend's statuses & the difficult years that those I've known have had, I've eventually had the 'epipheny'(!?!) that life's full of ups & downs & therefore it's natural that the majority of people will have had significant downs in their year as well as ups. So... I'll try to remember that the difficult times I've had in the last year have not made me more unlucky than the average person, or turned the whole year sad - I've had some amazing times as well & I've learnt really important things through the difficult times too - how precious life is, how relationships are what really matter & how in the big scheme of things - things I'd previously worried about no longer matter.

What have your good times been over the last year?

(Also read that this morning that watching videos of cute animals has asimilar relaxing effect on your brain as playing with them in person - maybe its good time for a dose of youtube cuteness!)

Wishing you all the very best of luck for Tuesday.

Hi Tracy

Steriod can affect your moods the only time I have had them they made me highper so I have some understanding of what you are going through.

So as I promised I would pray for you. I will pray everyday you are in hospital and beyond.

I pray for you to have God's peace. This peace passes all understanding and will keep you calm through all of it from now to going in on Tuesday, your operation, your care in hospital and discharge and the next operation. Amen Thankyou God.
