A lot less waiting around, I expect!<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-39119186905620515722018-04-14T21:06:13.315+01:002018-04-14T21:06:13.315+01:00Lots of appointments and blood work.

Better than having to try to get up the hospital the other end of town - especially when she's only a few steps from the doctor's office. Hope all goes well!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-83840130810457698402018-04-14T16:12:14.079+01:002018-04-14T16:12:14.079+01:00I guess it is the way language changed and develop...I guess it is the way language changed and develops, isn't it. It's a living thing. I often wonder how much I would actually understand of what people said at the time of, say, the Wars of the Roses. I bet not very much.<br /><br />I'm sure I will be fine but the hospital expects it and it seems like common sense after a general anaesthetic. The last time I had one, I was fine afterwards, just a little bit giddy but that lasted for quite a long time. I shall have to be sensible about driving, won't I?<br /><br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-35390402415442735152018-04-14T11:37:46.246+01:002018-04-14T11:37:46.246+01:00There always seem to be a lot of pre-operative tes...There always seem to be a lot of pre-operative tests, but they are all necessary, I'm sure. Mind you, with my emergency, I didn't get an opportunity to meet any of the theatre staff! A good thing you will have someone with you for at least the first 24 hours. You will be fine, I'm sure, but weak after a general anaesthetic. It took me a full six weeks before I could walk any distance, but I was rather ill before my surgery, you sound really quite robust so should recover so much more quickly. <br />Speaking of which, have you noticed on TV these days people say "quick" rather than "fast" . A race is run and it was "rather quick". Someone was "very quick". The word "fast" fast is fast disappearing! Similarly, they say "two times" a lot, rather than "twice." I know ... I'm just being pedantic!<br />Margaret P <br />www.margaretpowling.com galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-69619223030545842562018-04-14T09:13:42.905+01:002018-04-14T09:13:42.905+01:00I think I will, Eileen.

It will stop me from just going for expensive and not all that nice ready meals just for the convenience, I think.<br />It's quite bright here - not sunny yet but no mist or dampness. :-)<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-60092534111420045072018-04-14T08:13:03.882+01:002018-04-14T08:13:03.882+01:00We're not due any sun until much later today. ...We're not due any sun until much later today. It's very misty here at the moment and I can only just make out the houses in the distance. It feels more like an autumn morning rather that the start of a spring day.<br /><br />Good luck with all the medical stuff. I think that preparing some ready meals for the first week of your recovery is a great idea and, when the time comes, you'll be thankful you made the effort.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-89814701838817593172018-04-14T07:58:24.370+01:002018-04-14T07:58:24.370+01:00I was wondering!! ;-)

I bet the ground will still be pretty muddy though!<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-82230631042393308982018-04-14T07:12:10.594+01:002018-04-14T07:12:10.594+01:00Wow, a lot of blood needed...will you have any lef...Wow, a lot of blood needed...will you have any left?! Haha<br /><br />It's thick mist (fog?) here this morning, I'm hoping it will disperse as we really want to get things done in the garden today.<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend Joy.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
