The last week was really covered and discussed at length inside the world of Facebook! Not on twitter and sadly I haven't really documented here in my journal.

I have had a lot of happy and also very supportive messages. Thank you so much for your lovely messages and thinking of me.

When I went into my final operation I was told of the risks and ( Read more... )

I'm done:-)

Mr Thomas did it at 9 o'clock this morning.

Woke up in the Recovery Room at 2.30pm :-)

When I awoke I felt lost for words but intensely happy. Then this afternoon I was given 25 milligrammes of morphine and became really nauseous and sick and was vomiting and retching... Oh my! Did that cause a spasm pain?!

Thankfully it began to wear ( Read more... )

I'm adding this here for in case it may benefit any readers who need to know this. This post is about trying to share serious information for readers who will have Dr Thomas or Dr Bellringer perform their surgeries assuming that they can have and desire the surgery. This is about trying to help those that are heading towards their surgery in ( Read more... )

I have had a lot on my mind since Thursday but the main issue has been my upcoming surgery.

I was chatting with Amy (friend) about it and she was commenting that I was "... right to take a little time to think it through."

The thing is, that wasn't it. I didn't and don't need to "think it through" - it's a surgery that has to happen, I can't be left ( Read more... )

At 4.30pm today: I have spoken to the Senior Clinical Nurse - Iffy Middleton (really, really lovely) - who was actually present at yesterday's appointment and I am going to see her again on Tuesday to decide once and for all if I am fit for surgery in 5 weeks time however, during our phone call she commented that it's likely I may not be, due to ( Read more... )

Actually, there's a problem (sorry to get detailed) but I am worried that the operational area has not been fully permanently cleared of hair. 
When I was with Dr Bellringer yesterday morning, prior to actually getting my operation "date", he told me that I would be waiting another 6 months for a date (little did he know!) and espoused to me the ( Read more... )

Wow!  I think  ...no... I am being a bit shell shocked at the moment.
Emma and I went to Charing Cross hospital in Hammersmith this morning to have a surgical consultation with Dr Bellringer at 9.30am.  The consultation was very straightforward, after all Charing Cross hospital know my case well - I've been going to frequent appointments there since ( Read more... )

Ok finally went to sleep about 12.45 ish, it was before 1am. I know that and I've woken up soaked in perspiration at 6.10

Considering my sleep pattern of the last few days, I record that as an improvement.

Face feels incredibly sore and I can only imagine that's the massaging. At this moment I'm dreading having to go at my face again. Really need to ( Read more... )

 First new photos in a few days ( Read more... )

Was too tired to type last night by the time I had done my third massage at 11pm. They are still very tender but that may also be a result of me pressing harder on face.

Dr Z had also phoned me last night. The clinic and the Dr are really good for keeping in touch and wanting to make sure that I'm doing ok. I've spoken to the Dr or clinic staff ( Read more... )
