Well I haven't done to much here on the site sinc wi got taken off the theatre trolley and cancelled, a) cos I was stressed and fed up but b) cos I have kept myself so busy I haven't had time to think!!
1) I emptied all the cupboards in the house and with the help of my friend had a good ole clean out.
2) I defrosted my fridge freezer and chest freezer, organised them into meat, potatoe, veg drawers.
3) Bought a new car, a Kia Picanto which is fuel and tax efficient and so much easier to get into and drive
4) Bought all the Christmas presents online, got and wrapped them.
5) got the hall and stairs redecorated by my painter
6) got the new coal wood fire that wasn't right refitted and hopefully working now by the engineers.
So in agony now!!!!!L BUT I feel so much more organised than I did when I went into hospital last time and with all the cancellations of the op Xmas is drawing nearer and
I had to get sorted!
So,hoping they don't cancel me again tomorrow!!
Love Axxxxx

I know how great it is to feel organised at this time of year so well done. And SO much good luck for tomorrow. My friend whose story I related to you last time was here the other day and I told her about your recent experience. She told me to tell you that she was operated on as an emergency and a few days later someone was brought in and prepped etc and then they cancelled at the last minute for an emergency - just like you. The woman was in floods of tears and my friend felt awful for her - but was at least able to point out that when they say "emergency" on the neuro ward where she was recovering - they do actually mean it because if she had been left for another 6 hours even - she would be in a wheelchair with a colostomy bag now for the rest of her days. Not that this would make you feel better - and anyway by now you should be called an emergency yourself I feel? I'm sure it will all go brilliantly this time round - third time lucky as they say. I will be thinking about you all day tomorrow. Tilda xxx
Hey don't be daft you are undoubtedly the most important patient they have - especially to all of us here and to me of course. When i heard that the local nhs would be prioritising new referrals for my rheumy to see I told my GP that I couldn't argue with that. He said "well if it were all new rheumatology patients then that would be something but actually it could be people just in to have their varicose veins looked at for example!"
Good luck today Allanah - thinking of you. Tilda xxxx
Hi Allanah,
Good luck for tomorrow, have my fingers crossed for you.
Ooh Bon Iver r great, that would have been fun. I like Arcade Fire from Canada too, saw them in front of Edinburgh castle and met them on the high street. I turned into a complete dweeb, and just stood violently shaking their hands and giggling innanly! I would not do that in my dreams lol! Hope work backs u up soon my friend ,!, Axx
Just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow,hope it goes ahead & goes well .when I had my emergency operation on my back,it was also just before xmas,no cooking cleaning shopping wrapping etc....so worth the discomfort!!! Many hugs x
Hope they have red carpet out, and big bunch of (sterile plastic) flowers to greet you and make special effort after all the trouble you've been through. Hope all pain free and a breeze. Pollyx
heres hoping but i guess they wont even remember my name as there will have been a lot more people in the same boat since then I think. Thanks Polly Axx
My dear Allanah, I will be right there in mind and heart, with you all day tomorrow! I pray it will all go welll and give you the much anticipated relief! Good luck! One tip: When you feel like getting busy and doing things soon after surgery, Don't! It might be the drugs encouraging you Let it all heal first! Love ya, Loret xxx
