Slinky's recovering OK and breathe...

[davelinks]

It was about 7.30 this evening when she came back to the ward after being in recovery for a while, saying all went well, with just a mini slit wound in her chest/neck, and morphine, so that's got that damn thing off her chest, so can now heal nicely and return to running when ready, which will be some months away. But I can now breathe a sigh of relief 😊

[poppypug Graduate]

Hope her recovery goes well and thanks for letting us know .

Look after each other xxx

Oh my goodness that sounds drastic Dave. Really hope Slinky recovers fast. I can feel your relief.

[davelinks Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Thanks bop, she had a rather large goitre from her thyroid which instead of growing out from her neck as is mostly usual, it silently grew downwards into her chest, so was pushing on her windpipe, it was only found as she went through c25k graduation and started to exert herself more, she'd start coughing, and our fine doctor found her thyroid inflamed in her neck, then the large goitre was found, but I saw the scans and what was there, and the problem it was starting to cause, at least that's out of the way now.. Now I don't want you lot thinking you have this problem if you start coughing in the cold weather, it probably is just the cold..😊

[Millsie-J Graduate]

So pleased all went well Dave! Now time to heal, recover and continue to embrace life. You can support each other and running can help on the journey. Sending love and good thoughts your way!

[mfamilias Graduate]

A speedy recovery to Slinky, and kudos to you for looking after her so well.

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Wishing Slinky a speedy recovery and both of you lots of strength. You'll be back running together soon 🏃 🏃. Until that time look after her well and get your own "me"-time in aswell. Preferably by running!

[PippiRuns]

Wonderful news, Dave. Hope she heals well and is up and about soon.

[pollyp1 Graduate]

That's good news.

[tortoisegirl Graduate]

Good news, Dave. All the best for a swift recovery.

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Great news - hope the recovery goes well and quickly.

[misswobble Graduate]

I hope you're feeling better Slinky ☺

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

[LonelyWalker Graduate]

Oh bless, poor Slinky but yay, surgery over with and look forward not back! She will be bombarded with love and kindness when we next hear from her! Thank you so much for taking the time to update, x

[GoogleMe Graduate]

Do you think you might have been more worried than her? Sounds tough for both of you. I wish her a really good quality healing - it is amazing how well these surgical neck wounds can become invisible in time.

[davelinks Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Yes, I probably was more worried than her, as I suffer badly from anxiety, so find it really hard to just sweep things under the carpet! don't tell me there's therapy for it, as I've had it.. thank you..

[Lon70 Graduate]

Hope all goes well.
