I look very odd

Had a good nights sleep. Then spoilt it all by seeing myself in the full length mirror,shaven chest does not suit me. Probably not very good way to lose weight but no food or fluids for about 19 hours in the end and I lost half a stone. But I will be replacing that with the now famous fridge contents. Keeping to myself again to be on the safe side, my son is playing in a charity football game today but I will keep away. Have a good weekend everyone and I hope anyone waiting for procedures gets some good news soon. Be in touch soon. 👋

Morning - Just caught up on messages - can't believe you were cancelled like that but sadly it seems as if that is not an unusual occurrence. Keep your chin up and remember you are not the only one having a rough weekend - think Matt Hancock 😂😩

Hello :-)

I sometimes think when we are feeling down no matter what we will look in the mirror and see that person that feels down rather than what others see and I bet you don't look as old as you are feeling at all :-)

Half a stone in 19 hours that is a weight loss , get those fridge contents eaten and you will put a few pounds back on :-)

Take it easy this weekend and fingers crossed for Monday :-)

I am waiting Bypass surgery , have been told to make sure my teeth are checked and surgeon phoning on the 6th so I am in a way even though terrified hoping that is a sign I am getting nearer to my op as I have been told I will be dancing on the tables when I have had it done and it has been a few years since I remember doing that !

Chin up you will soon be all sorted and you can start applying for those modelling jobs once the hair has grown back on your chest :-) x

Just before my surgery the nurses shaved my chest and armpits and called it a complimentary spa treatment - the joke was welcome!!

Just think, being hairy will eventually help with disguising your zipper...... and give it some protection from the sun. I wasn't shaved until the morning of the op. Left a bed full of hair which didn't seem right under any circumstances - not hygienic. 😯

Hope you get a new date tomorrow for the op. It will soon be here. Good to see you are staying positive. 😀

I was shaved all over twice because of a cancellation by a beautiful philipino nurse.So I was not complaining.x
