I was a day surgery case. I went down to theatre about 11 and I was ok to leave the hospital about 5pm ? working nights is tough try and get at least a week off work as I feel really tired but it is different for different people. I also suffer with trapped wind since the surgery so peppermint cordial was been my best friend over the recent days...... Lol!!
I share ur daughters taste with Taylor Swift I think she is great ..... Sad I know because I'm sooo not 13, haha xx
 
Thanks I'll make sure I get some peppermint cordial what else did you take with you? I've been told to pack an overnight bag just in case I have to stay in. I'm lucky with work as I'm entitled to 13 weeks full sick pay and I've informed them back in April that I was having an operation in July they have told me not to hurry back and make sure I'm 100% to come back to work so as long as I hand in sick notes from doctor I should be fine. How are you feeling today? x
 
Yes you will need an overnight bag just in case. The hospital had
Peppermint cordial but take some just in case they don't have any! I took my book but to be honest I slept a lot after the surgery so it didn't get looked at!!

There maybe a wait to go to theatre so take something to keep u occupied. I watched TV as I was anxious and found it hard to concentrate.

I am feeling much better today I haven't needed any pain killers so far today. I'm about to take myself out for a walk. Yesterday was my first walk and I found it quite painful due to trapped wind and tenderness around the wounds!!! Fingers crossed today will be better ...... everyday there is an improvement both psychically and emotionally as I seem to have left the tearful stage behind me ? feeling positive xx
 
Glad your having a good day Yvonne ? your through the worst of it now....

Stay positive and remember why we started this journey ?

Can't believe mine is Tuesday.... Eeeeeek! Nervous now xxx
 
Ok thanks, I'll just wear my trackie bottoms and I'll pinch my daughters iPad to keep myself occupied. That's good your feeling a bit better today that's all you can do is take one day at a time x
