Update on op update

Hi All,

Sadly my op has been cancelled as I didn’t manage to shake off the sore throat and peppery nose. Got to take a week’s antibiotics followed by a blood test, if all clear my op will be rescheduled ASAP. Fed up but know it is for the best.

Good luck Phil with your op tomorrow, keep us posted.

Thank you Rie, it is a bit unsettling but for the best. I’ll be able to do some gardening in the week to instead, aided by my lovely hubby who will do the donkey work.

Argh, how frustrating! But, as you say, for the best. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe treat yourself in some way tomorrow? Feel better soon x

Thank you Laura,

I’ve just got my new book and magazine out of my case. Will snuggle up with them when I’ve taken it out on the garden🌺.

So sorry Dory. I know how you feel, you get yourself all geared up for the op and then it's cancelled, so frustrating. Just look after yourself in the meantime and get over the bug. Hope you make a quick recovery and don't have to wait too long for your new date.

Sending hugs.

Thank you Annette,

The annoying thing is I don’t feel too poorly, it’s just a cold but sufficient to put a spanner in the works.

Such is Life!

Aww Dory,

Sad news but the same happened to me and to be honest it is the right decision.you need to be really well for heart surgery.

They normally give you 2 weeks at least after the antibiotics

Hope you are ok as nothing worse than being so mentally prepared

Sending warm wishes

Hi Jenny,

Thank you for the information and your best wishes.

I must admit I briefly thought of throwing in the towel altogether.

Onwards and upwards!

Hi Dory,

Oh bless you,i empathise completely. I know i did too as it happened twice to me, you need to be tip top and its so rewarding having heart surgery.its hard on your body but worth it and i am 7weeks post op. our surgeons in the UK are just amazing.

Get well and rested up

Lots of love
