Loads to tell you but suffice it to say.. I have oodles of time to do so and right now I'm utterly pooped.
Op was a success (as far as I can tell)... gory details to follow... nasty blisters due to allergic reaction but they'll soon sort... knee hurts but have to admit, blisters hurt more... incisions nice and healing well... drains were removed after 48 hours... now I've seen myself in a full length mirror I can tell you the difference is incredible... not flat tum but none of the skin left (well... a bit but will explain that)... and I took photos (gory mare!) and will update all about it... hospital was a real experience and I made some new friends there and have to go back Monday to have dressings seen to... District nurse coming here tomorrow to change dressings too... am up and on my feet (albeit very tenderly) and they cut me a long way round past my hip bones and around each side.
I'm delighted to be home and able to chill out now on the sofa with the tv on being inspected from the back of my eyelids... I suspect there will be a lot of that going on.... I really am shattered.
thank you for your texts and good wishes... I'll be back again over the next few days but for now really can't believe I'm saying this, but,.. I need to rest.
Am still smiling and very glad I went through with it. Despite being swollen and weighing in at 11 ston 9lbs this afternoon!!!! (heaviest in over 6 months...) I guess that's fluid and crappy hospital food and no exercise!! Will have to be ultra careful with the calories but increase protein methinks!
hey hun,
glad to hear it all went well & now home & settled. Enjoy making good friends with the insides of you eyelids, & make sure you see them as often as you feel you ned too
looking forward to seeing you nxt weekend hun
loads a love
