Finally have the date for the repair of my vesico-vaginal fistula confirmed. This occurred after my hysterectomy for OC last November and means the bladder has "established a communication" with the vagina. In other words, I'm leaking urine via the vagina. Not painful, just very inconvenient. I know I'll have to wear a catheter for a couple of weeks after the op, so having taken advice here, I have a willing slave to wait on me "foot and mouth", books and magazines to read and films to watch. Unless there's a fire I shan't stir.
As it is going to be a joint operation between Gynae + Urol, I have an outpatient appointment with Urology on Monday. On Tuesday I attend the Pre-Admission clinic. On Thursday I get admitted and on Friday I have the op. What should I do on Wednesday? More ironing or hit the bottle?
Dear Citrine
You're one brilliant lady to tell your tale with so much humour. I can't imagine the next week is looking to be any fun at all for you but no doubt you will find something funny to tell us about your various visits to hospital.
It must be so strange going back as a patient to a hospital you worked in for over 20 years. Will you want to be bossing them all round sorting everything out? You of all of us will know if they make any mistakes.
I'll be thinking of you being waited on 'foot and mouth' (ho ho) by your lovely hubby. As for Wednesday - I think I'd go for the bottle - and make it a good vintage!
Take care. Let us know how your op goes. I can hardly pronounce what you've got. It sounds beastly so no doubt you'll be pleased to get it repaired.
xxxx lots of love xxxx Annie
Ah, thank you Annie for your kind thoughts. I think I'd already answered my own question with regard to ironing versus the bottle. And as it happens, himself came home yesterday with a case from the wine shop
With lots of love xxxx
Hear hear Annie! The bottle every time! A really good red?
Good luck Citrine!
Love M xxxxxxxxxx
Well if anyone needs any ideas - Pomerol 2007. There's a good cru in Majestic at the moment - but it is for special occasions. I think you deserve that Citrine!
