It's exactly three weeks today since I had my surgery. I presume my recovery is going okay although I really have no idea. I'm not having any follow-up appointments with anyone to check how I'm doing and I have very little information about recovery. All the surgeon told me was that it would take 2-4 weeks and not to have sex for 4-6 weeks. At ( Read more... )

It's been almost a week since I had my surgery, can you believe it? I've been reminded that I haven't updated you since the night before I went in so let me rectify that.

If you don't want the full details of my hospital experience then ( skip this bit. )

Surgery is tomorrow. Do I look like I'm ready?

I had my pre-op appointment for my hysto yesterday. I broke the receptionist's brain when I arrived; I told her I had an appointment at 2pm so she gave me a look and asked snottily which department I was supposed to be in, obviously assuming that I had no need for their services. Then she couldn't find my name on her list because she was looking ( Read more... )

A few days before college finished for the winter break, I got a letter from the hospital saying that I had an appointment regarding a hysto. For some reason, I never got around to posting about it though :( Sorry about that. I'd had a call from my GP at the end of November saying that he'd got the referral letter from Dr Lorimer and did he need ( Read more... )

On my last visit to Charing Cross, Dr Seal discussed getting a hysto which is something I want, even though the idea of more surgery petrifies me. I need to get a referral from Dr Lorimer first so it was suggested that for my next appointment, I'd see Dr Lorimer first and then Dr Seal. They changed the appointment system a while ago so that ( Read more... )

Following on from my Saturday post, yesterday was a celebration of a totally different kind: it was the fourth anniversary of my top surgery. I've actually realised that I made quite a big error when I scheduled it, mainly because I didn't do it in something like May or June when I could celebrate by taking my shirt off. Instead, I did it in ( Read more... )

Today marks two years since I had top surgery. I can't believe that it's been two years already. My chest looks great, the scars have faded so much and in some places they're not visible at all. There's sensation over a good percentage of it, even on some parts of my scars though that feels mostly tickly, and my nipples can feel pressure and ( Read more... )

To my surprise, I got a letter from my GP this morning. It said:
"Further to our consultation on 30/5/2007 I am writing to inform you that Dr Seal has recommended that the frequency of your Sustanon injections be increased to every 2 weeks. This would make your next injection due on or around 5/6/2007 and you may wish to make a new appointment ( Read more... )

Last time I went to see Dr Lenihan at the Claybrook, she said that she was going to discharge me but that as I needed to get my hormones sorted out, she wouldn't action it until I'd seen the endo and it was all taken care of. I then got a letter telling me I had an appointment on October 3rd. I spent all of last week trying to make contact by ( Read more... )
