Close call, Lizzie, sounds as if you've been through it, probably mentally as well as physically…….
Lizzie, fingers crossed for you. Be prepared after the operation to be affected emotionally. I went from not giving a shit to being emotionally shot to shit. I would well up over nothing during a normal conversation. Physically I was on the mend but emotionally I’m not sure it’ll ever leave me, so it may pay to forewarn your family of this.
I spent three months solid in Harefield Hospital (2 major operations just 2 days apart) and can’t praise them up enough. Good luck, I hope they get you sorted.
Oh, and I wasn’t allowed to drive for twelve weeks, which did not please my Mrs as she became my chauffeur.
