May Surgery anyone?

[SleeveGirl]

Couldn't make it to work this morning. I phoned and took a day off. I'm feeling shaky and need to pee every 5 minutes. Losing liquids is part of the pre op diet, I suppose?

Hope you're feeling better Bally x

Thanks girls!
Today was a public holiday here in Italy so I stayed at home and managed my milk diet quite well.
Tomorrow I absolutely have to show up at work and explain why I need to take Friday off too (don't think I can manage commuting on Friday too).
My problem now is that I'd told my boss that I would be away for surgery but I guess it's better to tell the entire story if I don't want my boss and co-workers worrying for my health.
I really didn't want to share my choice but I cannot lie for ever.

Hiya Bally, am sorry to hear you are not feeling to well. and Kat!! I passed Pre-Opp too. I am over the moon. Its nice to no you keeping your hubby busy. But I hope you haven't hurt yourself x

 

[Bally]

Thanks all!
You're all so supportive.
I believe I could have given up my milk diet without your support.
You're great!

Wow everyone there's so much positivity on this thread! That's so good as I could do with a bit of it.

Start my pre-op milk diet in a week's time and I've buggered my knee again can barely walk on it (torn 2 muscles in the knee) the injury comes and goes all the time and at the moment I'm in agony. I seriously hope the surgery will quickly affect my pain as my mobility has suffered so much in the past 2 months since I hurt it. I can't play with my kids and I can't exercise at all leading me to gain a few pounds when I should be losing!

I really want this sorted! Roll on the surgery and roll on weight loss my poor knee deserves a life of no more crushing pain!

Sat in departures at Bristol now, my flight leaves at 18.10 and I have a cracking headache. My youngest was really upset that I was "going away with work" but dad put that thought away and he's taken them off to Weston for the rest of the afternoon for a splash in the sea.

I wish it was al over with, I am really excited now am like a big kid. but you watch nearer the time. I will be crapping myself excuse the french, lol.

[caraline]

Thanks Caraline, well im here, times quarter to midnight and after 12 i am nil by mouth. Had a good flight and the chap who met me was really nice, did not say much though as he speaks very little English and i dont speak Czech.
Has some tea to drink when i got here at 11pm and spent the next 25 mins wrestling with the combination padlock my husband put on the case, relieved when i finally got it open. Its an old hospital but the staff are lovely that i have seen, and what i saw of Turnov in the dark it was pretty.
Well i have some paper work to read and sign and then tomorrow i have pre op tests, gastroscopy :-( bloods and others i guess, got a swanky up and down bed, flat screen tv, fridge that is empty lol(thats wasted on this procedure) all in all its looking ok.
